[Morgana]

Some of my clocks updated by themselves some did not, so I thought I'd post this reminder.

[Enterprise]

Each of has a preference I guess. But when the clocks are set forward tomorrow I want it to stay that way and not set the clocks back in the fall.

[Gene Eric]

I had no idea we were springing forward this weekend — thanks

[catbertz]

Thank you! This one slipped by me, and I would be happy to forget this procedure for the rest of my days.

[Drago]

Standard Time is a standard for good reasons, and it is what I prefer. YMMV

[monkeyshine]

Thanks. I had no idea. I guess I’ll get to work early tomorrow.

Evil Amongst Us
by The Big Boo

I lost an hour this morning
And have no idea where it went.
There isn't anything I remember
For which it was spent.

Above me the wife is scolding,
“Wake up or you'll be late”.
But it's still dark and I am tired
What wickedness befalls my fate?

She says there are those
Much smarter than I.
Who have wrested time
From Nature's unerring guide.

They demand that I conform
To their evil scheme.
Time is what we make of it
Well, that's what they believe.

I am sure you know the type
Do-Gooders they were called in the day.
Oh, they are for every point of view
As long as they always get their way.

Count me out as I try to sleep
I'll arise when the sun begins to shine
They can live in their misgotton pride
As for me, I much prefer God's design.

[Az Joe]

We don’t use it in most of AZ, but I don’t like being 3 hours behind the east coast. Get rid of it I say.

[telescope115]

Thanks. I set our microwave and stove clocks ahead before I went to bed. Now I’m up, it’s 3:41 AM CDT because I couldn’t sleep, lol.

You know how when they came up with overlapping area codes, we completely did away with the fiction of any geographic relevance. We should do the same thing with time zones. There will be one universal time zone for the entire country and territories. Then you can choose to change your time zone and just like everybody will tell their pronouns, you will also tell your area codes and time zones. Maybe even zip codes because why should everybody be stuck in a particular zip code? Any questions?

[Daveinyork]

We sprang forward on January 20.

[Drew68]

I just watched my iPhone go from 01:59 to 03:00.

Don't know why I wanted to see that but I did.

I already switched all of my analog clocks ahead hours ago. I didn't want to mess with it when I woke up.

[Jonty30]

Lost an hour of work.

[9YearLurker]

Please, may it never end!

[fwdude]

HATE DST. Always have.

Adjust your schedule if you want more daylight at a specific time of day.

[Psalm 73]

How can we make this stop?

[Openurmind]

“Sunrise and sunset were about 1 hour later on Mar 9, 2025 than the day before.”

Amazing how man can manipulate the sun that way...

Time is an illusion...

[ByteMercenary]

Attributed to a wise old American Indian: only the White man can cut a length of a rope from one end, affix that length to the other end, and then say the rope is longer.

Leave standard time as it is. Daylight savings time was first proposed by Ben Franklin to give farmers more time to tend crops. Considering the reasons that it came about, we no longer need daylight time.

[Ezekiel]

Spring forward on this first day of the week:

People like to gripe about DST (where I'm at longitude-wise, DST needs to be the time all year long), but there's always a Biblical angle to everything going on in this world.

"Light" is an especially important concept, so to help folks get through the day, I'll offer these key details from the very beginning of time:

In the United States, DST is 238 days long, which is same sum Rachel [רחל], who is known as Rachel Imenu -- "Rachel our mother" -- aka "the mother of all Israel".

The first place where words and letters add up to 238 is in Genesis 1:3 --

Genesis 1³ And God said, Let there be light: and there was light [ויהי־אור]

There are actually 7 letter strings in that verse that add up to 238. They transition smoothly across the verse, one letter shift at a time, as if breaking forth, like the dawn:

And God said, "Let there be light and [-יהי אור ו]... and there was light [ויהי־אור]":

ויּאמר אלהים *יהי אור ו*יהי־אור

ויּאמר אלהים י*הי אור וי*הי־אור

ויּאמר אלהים יה*י אור ויה*י־אור

ויּאמר אלהים יהי *אור ויהי*־אור

ויּאמר אלהים יהי א*ור ויהי־א*ור

ויּאמר אלהים יהי או*ר ויהי־או*ר

*ויּאמר אלהים יהי אור *ויהי־אור

To further connect the topic to the United States, this information from Day One continues into verse 4:

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good = 1776

Or as verse 4 itself:

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. = 1776

238. It goes on..

The first cubic whole number to expand the volume of physical space beyond one, makes the giant leap of 7 to arrive at 8:

2³ = 8

Who Knows 50?

The progression from 49 to 50 has, as its precedent, the stepping stone from 7 to 8.

Hawaii doesn't do DST. The 50th state of Aloha has 8 main islands, but it's like 7 + 1 because the westernmost outlier is a private island known as "The Forbidden Isle" [האי האסור], which adds up to 288.

On land, the view is from the Garden Isle.

The number champs who know the basic elements of Lurianic Kabbalah will recognize 288 (238 + 50) for how it involves the first light of Creation.

It's the essential concept of the whole shebang.

DST - not a fan, especially knowing the grandkids now have to stand in the dark at the bus stop 6:30 in the morning, yeah, woohoo for dst, screw the kids.

[dennisw]

So what? The sun looks as bright as it did yesterday at 8AM. We should keep daylight savings time. There was a reason it was instituted. To get people work early. At farms and everywhere..... Except greater Washingtooon DC where you get to shirk from home.
