Didn’t mean jack to my dog. He still wants out when HE wants out.
Trying not not to be pedantic, but we are now on Daylight Standard Time, Daylight Savings time is in the summer.
Nonsense. Not everything is political. Daylight savings tike stems from Benjamin Franklin, an economical man in every sense, who observed those who worked by candlelight and slept by sunshine and at the same time complained about the cost of candle wax and tallow.
Working by natural light costs nothing.
Wasted about an hour deciding if my hotel clock and my cell phone automatically updated so I guess I’m even now anyway....
One advantage of DST is of efficiency. Many societal activities would, without DST, make their own choices to shift that activity by an hour according to daylight. DST allows one central time switch decision, freeing all those societal activities from having to make the change decision.
I don’t know of any activity that finds the need to cancel DST and undoing it by springing backward and falling forward.
One example: we have a local sound of bugle’s event for veterans late in the day on the 1st Sunday of the month. The time for that can be fixed across the year, rather than adjusted seasonally.
“””At least with Daylight Saving Time the rules are pretty simple: in the Fall they give us and extra hour, in the Spring, they take it back””””
Just be grateful they don’t charge us interest.
Daylight Time has many more advantages than Standard time. Should be kept that way all the time and tell the whiners to pipe down.
In the summer months in the Northern Hemisphere, when the axis of the Earth is tilted toward the sun resulting in more daylight hours, DST shifts ahead one hour of daylight so that people will have more daylight time in the evening for outdoor activities. Of course, for extremely low latitudes or extremely high latitudes, there is little advantage of switching to DST.
DST is taking Ben Franlin’s “Early to bed and early to rise...” maxim and adding “by order of the federal government” to it.
It is on the ballot here in California. If yes wins it will give the Legislature permission to deal with the mess. Like they need permission to do anything here...
Say what? What time change?
Florida voted to ban Daylight Savings Time...but the state needs Washington to okay it...
Standardard isn’t god decreed or natural either. Otherwise how could Benton harbor Michigan and New York City be in the sam e time zone. New York had sun rise 50 minutes earlier today.
I don’t like the extra hour of sunlight. Burns my grass.
It’s a foolish twice-a-year waste of time. It does not save any daylight. Next year in the Spring, go to DST and stay there.
Why don't we advance the calendar by one month? It's the same thing.
Try to explain Daylight Savings Time to a cat. The cat will look at you like you are stupid to believe what you are saying.
And the cat will be right.
I'm gwan out in the daylight and fight with the leaves falling from the maple and oak trees into my yard.
Most of the leaves are from my neighbor's maple trees, but my oak trees will get even later in the month.
We only win when they finally put it to rest for good.
