All of my clocks except for my car's clock are computers so they do the change over automatically.

I want to talk to you for a second.


I've been here for over a decade.

You're a cool girl.

How do you put up with us?

This place can be so vicious, and yet you hang in there.

Very few women are strong enough to stay here.

No seriously I'm just curious.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80137440


it helps to feel support here, which I surely do.

having written many editorials (not letters to the editor) for one newspaper and having been a comunity reporter for another,

NOTHING bothers me.

Talk about nerves on the Sunday mornings the editorials appeared - I was a member of a group selected to do so on a rotating basis - I would be beside myself.

Did they edit the thing too much? - I learned to keep the word count DOWN.
Would I get dinged on a fact and the newspaper have to do a retraction? - once.
Would angry letters to the editor sock it to me later? - yes.
Would angry people call the landline with threats - once.

so this place is all the fun and none of the bad - I can edit myself, use memes, meet people, and any deadline is my own.

your question was sweet!

get a blue name!

It'll take me about a week for my body to adjust.

It's the official signal (albeit earlier than it used to be decades ago) for warmer weather, longer days, flip-flops and shorts.

this was like the mask-wearing of its time.

a stupid idea that gained traction.... for a while. Some places either never got on the bandwagon or opted out.

 Quoting: beeches



At least with Covid-19, some people were able to kick back for awhile, not having to beat the clock. Even traffic jams stopped.

But with DST, everyone has to deal with chores, get to the office or an appointment - and get up from bed - one hour faster and earlier.

I call DST "One Foot Closer to the Grave" Time because it artificially makes time go even faster.

LOL good one, such logic.

I object to DLST too. I get up just before sunrise not when the clock tells me. The farm animals do not abide by the time change either, I have tried to explain it to them but they still want to eat at their regular time.

They say the do it for the children so it is not so dark when they have to go out in the winter for school. Why not change the school hours? The time change is the hardest for children, telling them they have to go to bed an hour early and change the time they have to get up an hour early is not good for them and they do not like it, it is harder for their body sleep clock to adjust to the change.

Wow, I hadn't gotten around to changing the clock in my car and truck yet from the last time change. I guess my sloth-like speed has been rewarded!

Studies have shown that DST not only doesn't save energy it also causes an increase in heart attacks and other ailments. That's due to more people having to wake up an hour earlier than their internal biorhythm is accustomed to.

DST was originally 6 months long, formally enacted into law during the 1960s, then increased to 7 months long during the 1990s and, more recently, extended to 8 months long today.

Since DST doesn't save energy and is also a negative on human health, it's a win-win. It's like a combo of higher taxes for fighting climate change and a big dose of SARS-CoV-2.
