So you have an extra hour to either sleep, wash up, watch TV, walk the dog, goof around, etc. It also means your boss can't demand you come in an hour earlier---unless you work a graveyard shift . |

That means somethings going down and real news is being censored. Somehow the clock change is pin-worthy??? Last Edited by Sumting Big on 11/06/2022 01:45 AM There is no such thing as a coincidence. The smallest coincidence can be the hinge on which future events turn. “If you don’t read the newspaper you are uninformed and if you do read the newspaper you are misinformed.” …Denzel Washington |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 8013472 United States 11/06/2022 02:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Remember, Daylight Savings Time was originally called War Time, which was forced upon us by Franklin Roosevelt in 1942. Quoting: Agent_Kilroy It was not intended to be continued on with, but hey, isn't that like every other "temporary" You can thank that dirty rat bastard for DST. That d**khead claimed it "saves fuel"... And I guess people believed it, bought into it and continued on. Typical! Although, I will say, it is fitting to have Wartime right now, seeing as the entire world is engaged in a WWIII type scenario. It needs to be ended, we shouldn't be changing/messing with the original occurrence of "time". Just more foolish assertion of humans and their brilliant ideas of what life should be. If it was forced then how come Indiana and Arizona don't have daylight savings time? |

Quoting: Agent_Kilroy It was not intended to be continued on with, but hey, isn't that like every other "temporary" The theory is that DST is supposed to save energy. But a study done several years ago in Indiana, where half the state remained on Standard and the other half switched to Daylight, found that energy usage didn't decline in the areas under DST. DST not only doesn't save energy, it fucks around with people's health. A lack of enough rest or sleep is a major health issue and DST makes that even worse. BTW, Bush II opposed the part of legislation in the 1990s that included the expansion of DST. But as typical of a squish-squish that he was/is, he wasn't so against DST that he would have refused signing the bill. . But in the age of LEDs, how much energy is saved by time change impacts on lighting? When I was young they used to say it was for school kid safety. So it would be light when they walked to school or walked to the bus stop. Justme |

I remember hanging out at the store in Dolan Springs, waiting to buy beer, but they were not on California time, so had to wait an extra hour before they unchained the coolers. It pretty much sucked. That was 40 years ago, I've been married so long, I don't even look both ways when I cross the street. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 80941030 United States 11/06/2022 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It amazes me how people can assume everyone and every place is the same. Not true. In Maine, we love our long evenings in summer and we earn those because the rest of the year we've adapted to very harsh weather conditions. It is also not safe for children to be in the dark, walking along icy roads or waiting for buses to go to school. When the "upper class" decides that their idea about control of time is the best one, it galls. In Maine, they love to discuss moving us to the Atlantic time zone because we are closer to maritime Canada. That screws with businesses in our region and along the East Coast of our own country, because commercial interests use the clock for everything. The sun doesn't care. Farmers don't care. Those who use computers, and clocks, and care about safety and recreation do care. There is nothing wrong with changing the clocks to allow for more productive daylight in summer. |
