Time change tonight (for some of us)

[Dogman]

The change is tonight and being honist about it I wish they would quit screwing with it. Keep us on standard time.

I don't see the damn point. Farmers get up when the sun rises, doesn't matter what the time is.

Markets stay open all night in modern society, there is no need for an extra hour.


Day Light Savings is obsolete. It has become the opposite of an anachronism.

"Time doesn't exist, Clocks exist"

Leave it alone, Congress. Leave it alone.

Why can't they just set it 30 minutes in between and leave it alone?

Which way are we going? forward or backward?

[Dogman]

Ne I agree it is obsolete!

All it does is give more play time in summer, or some may have to go to bed while it is still light outside.

All daylight savings time does now, is twice a year it screws up peoples life's and in the process get some killed.

Spring forward, Fall back!

[k-os]

Thanks for reminding me. A friend told me today, but I had already forgotten. (shocker)

Edit to add: Daylight savings is complete BS in our era.

[solid]

Back!

Spring forward, Fall back!

So we gain an hour then? 6:00 becomes 5:00. Right now it's dark and rainy, and it's 6:30.

There is one state in the US that never changes time......forgot where......read about it about two weeks ago.

Dogman and TheNE are advocating an extra hour of effective darkness for humanity after common work week hours.

Staying on Daylight Savings Time would be the side to choose if we only had one. It also saves electricity as it makes our lived lives better.

But we must remain on Standard Time over winter so the children can safely get to their state indoctrination instruction on time.

I'd be for one Daylight Savings Time, and allowing people an extra hour of sleeping in in the winter.

Arizona.
Indiana also I believe When I went to school The Tonite Show was on at 10:30 instead of 11:30pm half the year... While the rest of the country goes on and off DST Indiana just stays the same. One native hoosier told me the farmers were afraid the chickens would be confused by the time changes and the cows would not know when to milk! but that was many many moons ago. 8-)

DST should be scrapped it really doesnt help that much. I guess the children would not have to wait in the dark for their school bus.

But they have to turn on more lights to get dressed and such.

Do we really need DST... I think not.

Let the confusion begin.:)

My main point that I poorly tried to get across is too not change the time, pick one and stay with it and not do this bullshit back and forth twice a year.

You made me look it up! Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that don't observe the time changes.

AND! "Before 2005, Indiana didn't observe it."

Just changed all the clocks. Forgot how weird it feels for the first day or two!

Yeah, instead of sleeping till 10:30 I'll wake up at 9:30........better learn to sleep another hour.....it is a very hard life :)

[Twisted Titan]

I think in russia they have only one time system no???

[BrewTech]

I was just talking to Algore today, and he pointed out that the extra hour of daylight caused by DST is contributing to global warming!

Perhaps the .gov should raise taxes in the winter to compensate?

Sounds like a plan.

In soviet Russia, time changes YOU.

Russia has ten times zones but it never changes.......

Doesn't look like the board changed time, or do I need to adjust my settings?

I see your post as 6:33 am.

[MNeagle]

o.k. thanks, yours is 7:43. Looks like it's my settings as my PC clock switched just fine.

eta: now it's totally screwed up. If I'm logged out, the clock is 1 hour behind. When I log in, the clock is 1 hour ahead. I've changed my settings a few times & it's not getting resolved. aarrgghh!
