no more daylight savings

I know. This abuse is a cycle.

I'm sorry

Moral is always asking for it.

I don't LIKE having to smack him around a bit, but there is no choice.

 

[Jerome Silberman]

I can almost hear the proponents of this change complaining about winter road traffic and quality and the explosion of late-starts at schools negetively effecting their precious commute.

 

[AFM22]

Why stop there? Can we also make the calendar 13 months, 28 days each? We can name the new month “Smarch.”

But 12 can be divided by 2, 3, 4, and 6, but 13 is prime.

 

[GesterHawk]

How else am I supposed to flex my trivia knowledge?

Your explanation in post 31 was perfect and still flexed your trivia knowledge.

 

[GesterHawk]

NO ITS SMART

S.M.R.T. D'oh!!

 

[TJ8869]

How will we know when to change the batteries in our smoke alarms?

No, July 2: July Harder.

Like a normal person - when your 6 month calendar reminder comes up on your phone.

Oddly enough you aren't getting them, so your ratio is dropping.

Go back and like them for me, please.

Before DST and standardized time zones, Americans lived at a much more localized pace where days were strictly governed by sunrise and sunset rather than a universally ticking clock.

I guess you guys want to go back to working sunrise to sunset

What's in it for me?

Depends, do women still get to vote?

I'll keep a look out while you beat up this guy:

Pretty sure you'd do that anyway.

Not anymore. I'll narc now.

C'mon, be nice. You know most of the locals on this board don't know what a prime number is.

I don't get it. There are the same hours in a night and morning to clear roads under either option.

I hadn't thought of this. I just added it to my furnace filter changes reminder.

And before someone comes after me-it's a geo unit with a huge 5" filter that I have to order because no one carries them in store.

 

[Tenacious E_rivals41982]

It is, but my point was if China can make it work to make their entire massive country on one time zone (despite one side's sunrise being 10am), we can fit a entire states under one time zone.

Assuming east coast time would become the official time, if one left for work at 7 am, people in Hawaii would be leaving for work at effectively 1 am, in terms of daylight. That would be incompatible with sleeping, I would think, unless their business hours in Hawaii would start at 1 pm, and people would work until 9pm or 10pm.

If you replace the batteries on the clock change you no longer have a 6 month split.

I'm not sure the temperature of the air/road surface and weather patterns are going to flex hours are nimbly as the retirement age people that are always behind this idea hope.

Good point. TBH, I don't change then regularly. The units are wired in with a battery backup. When the battery dies, they beep incessantly until you replace them.

Modern smoke alarms are much more proactive in reminding you to replace the batteries.

But unfortunately they are all programmed to start to remind you at about 2:00 in the morning.

Also this seems like an appropriate time to confess that I don't change the analog clock in the kitchen Nov-March. While annoying for 4 months a year, the sense of victory I feel in March for winning the battle of the clocks makes it all worthwhile.

I never change my car clock.
It really messes with my kids. It's hilarious.

I don't think 1 hour is going to make a difference on air/road surface and weather patterns. Winter sucks, and it is generally cold and dark in the midwest.

Cool. If it passes we'll see just how much the sun effects our lives in the winter.

I think it's probably pretty impactful.

He's selling you out for 'Likes', bro.

 

[GesterHawk]

So when I drive into the office, I leave the house at 5:45. It will always be dark for me in the winter. I would not mind it being light out on my drive home.

I always knew he was a POS. Anyone that loves ketchup as much as he does can't be trusted.

I have always wondered if he was a Brian alt for just that reason.

Honestly, I think you may be onto something here. He's got quite a bit in common with Brian.

We should ask him what color his Toyota is.
