Ded As Ned Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I do disagree with the time loss occurring at 2am on a Sunday. How about 2pm on a Friday? That'd work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongRider Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Scott, I'm getting the feeling that you're not fond of DST, is that about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's way better that the sun rises at 8, when I'm at work, and sets at 4:30.... when I'm at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically already the case here even with the shift back to standard time (up 8:50 down 16:38 jan 1st). And of course even worse further North. Could do with DST year round, light at evening is so much more useful for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drawkcabi Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 If we didn't have the DST switch then we wouldn't get these threads, so yeah, it needs to stay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebble thats Stubby Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 this thread always brings a smile to my face. Please Scott for the sake of all our sanity never do shift work. however as someone who's personal clock changes by 8 hours ever week, I'm just going to laugh at your 1 hour adjustment. You have it easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A True Kaniggit Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I didn't truly start hating daylight savings until the first time it turned a 12 hour shift into a 13 hour shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywolf2375 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Scott - have another kid and then a random shift in one hour means nothing to your sleep schedule. Stop trying to bully everyone else into your belief.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myrddin Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I learned (reminded) about DST this weekend and immediately came here looking for this post. I am not disappoint. Thank you, Scot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Scot A Ellison Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 I figure my annual fit over the stupidity of DST also helps people remember it's coming. I still remember the idiots talking about how "we're getting an extra hour of sunlight". No we're not. DST does nothing to how long we will have the sun visible in the sky.

Morons: Except people are talking about the amount of sunlight they experience during non-work hours, usually in the evening. On Monday evening, I have an extra hour of daylight to walk the dog, to allow the kids to play outdoors, to go to the park, etc. Instead of these activities ending around 6pm, they'll end around 7pm. More time with the sunlight in the evenings. That's obviously what people mean when they talk about extra hour of sunlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
