Daylight Saving Time

[BigBoxaJunk]

As the world gets more "global" I think time zones are kinda becoming obsolete and a universal time keeping system could make more sense than the wall clock reflecting when true solar noon is.

I like that. With UTC, the actual time would be absolute, with no qualifiers. Doesn't seem like it would be any more trouble for each "zone" to adopt a system of adjustment for working hours, per daylight schedule than it is now to account for who is in which time zone.

If you like your DST, you can keep it. All year round

In just one week, we get an additional one hour of daylight after work, school, or just to shoot...

Shifting that hour to the morning for 4 months is what was senseless.

The only bad part is that the kids will be getting on the school bus in the dark again. Ours get on at 6:45. It is just now getting light out. Spring ahead and it won't be light for an hour.

It truly is if you do not mind 4:30 sunsets in December/January...

So it will be no different than it was all winter, but they will have an extra hour of light after school if they will use it instead of playing video games...

Then you better get lots of riboflavin - it's essential for time travel.

Actually I think he keeps his clocks on EDT year round.

It's such a great idea, let's shift the clocks 4 hours.

I like how you're thinking there, daylight to past midnight, what a plan...

Retarding the clocks by an hour for a few winter months is just...

just...

well, there's probably a more appropriate word for it, but Imma go wit silly.

One thing that we in central Indiana often do not acknowledge is that any affect from time change or DST does not just happen to us on the backside of the time zone, it happens to folks in the middle and at the beginning of a time zone in much different ways.

Our time laws are a compromise between folks that live at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of a time zone.

Switching clocks is moronic, stupid, and illogical. However, my 12 hour shift will be 11 this Saturday!

I think maybe 11 hours... really blow everyone's mind.

...ATM asked why even change? If we were on permanent DST the December/January sunset would be at 4:30. Probably workable for us, however, for the leading edge of CTZ, they would experience a 3:30 sunset and would likely not consider that workable. ...

You might need to explain your thinking here. Moving the clocks back an hour for the winter made it appear to rise and set earlier, not later, during those 4 months.

Somebody fooled you into thinking this made sense, but it doesn't.

Rep inbound for “retarding”.
