For example,in Singapore the sun rises and sets at the same time every day of the year.
What I can’t stand is waking up at 2:00 am and messing with the dang clocks!
You should try my new miracle diet.
I just lost ten pounds in under a minute by adjusting my bath room scales.
The days will not be any shorter.
“Thanks to the taxidermist, she will always live!”
LOL!!!
Except Ben Franklin was joking when he wrote about this.
It is a dumb idea that we should stop. After the government falls and the subsequent civil war, its the first thing we should address.
I look on it as a celebration of the power of government, because what else could possibly hold the sun up for an entire hour? Praise the Government!
It’s “Daylight Saving Time”. There is only one “s”
Its winter. With or without ridiculous daylight savings time the days will be shorter
Correct, of course.
But it gets dark earlier in the day.
> “days will now be shorter”
>> Is that because of climate change?
If this trend continues we’ll be in total darkness in just 3 years!
HOW DARE YOU!
I like it when we turn the clocks back one hour. I think we should do that every Sunday.
> If I go to bed at 11:00 PM, do I turn the hands on the clock to 10:00 PM or to 12:00 AM?
I think you have to get up at 1:59am and change it then.
Remember: Spring forward, Fall back. Or move to Arizona.
No wonder I don't know how this DST works. :-)
This will be a new experience for me. I moved to Panama this summer and they do not recognize DST. Therefore, most of the year I am aligned with Central Daylight Time in the U.S. but I will transition to Eastern Standard Time when the U.S. changes back.
I wonder how my phones/computers will react to this?
BTW, we get bright, intense sunlight each morning starting between 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m. It is difficult to tell when dusk occurs because there is normally clouds and rain in the late afternoon. The locals have adapted to this because many still have rural jobs and, in the rainy season, they are often finished by 3 p.m. when the rains come down.
Yeah, once you're retired, you can pretty much ignore clocks and calendars (except for those occasional pesky doctor appointments, or if you want to show up at church when other folks are there too, or remember your spouse's birthday on the right day, or other stuff like that).
At other times, retirees can take many different approaches to these twice-yearly clock adjustments. For example, they can rebel against it, and just turn the clock back a half an hour. Or they can turn their calendar back a month instead. Or they can get one of these clocks shown below, and have a little fun with it.) :-)
If the Democrats get their way, the lights will go out all over America...
...except in the lavish mansions of the Democrat politicians, of course.
I hate daylight savings time.
Very difficult to get a perfect medium rare steak on the stove top - which is how most people like it. I get best results by searing it in a cast iron (5 minutes a side) and then putting into a 400 degree oven until internal temp hits about 120. Then I pull it out and during the resting period it will get to around 130 degrees.
