Daylight Savings Time

[Unclebaldrick]

Hot issue.

I'm going back to setting local noon from the old way of closely observing a stick in my back yard.

 

[Sir Napsalot]

I for one would not miss having to change the clock on the VCR

 

[Brettman]

I would like year round DST.

I have a seven year old so we're covered.

 

[dizzygirlio]

We should either keep one or the other and quit switching.

I think Arizona is basically on year-round DST. Their sunrise is 7:30am in December, so maybe 7:45am here. I'll take that.

 

[hanimmal]

We don't get to see the sun much in Michigan anyways during October-late May, so yeah I say screw changing the clocks.

It might make more sense to stick to standard time though, not sure why they picked this one. But whatever really.

Arizona has permanent standard time. Goldwater thought it was a commie plot.

Ahhh, okay. We're on spring-forward right now and it's the same time as in Arizona right now and it's also darker in the morning, so is the first poll option worded correctly? Should it be "No, I love dawn at 9am in December"..?

Since this is a pot forum, I’m pretty sure this permanent DST thing would completely f’ up outdoor cultivation, at least in some people’s minds.
We’d have lots of new threads about hermies and re-vegging plants being blamed on Congress for messing with the sun’s schedule.

idk, I am pretty sure that the plant could give a fuck less about our perception of time.

100% right, but that won’t stop people from blaming Congress.

No, dawn just got an hour later last weekend. Normal dawn in December is just before 8. This would make it 9 if DST goes permanent. But it would still be light until after 5.

The people who live down this way want to have DST year round. The people in the northern parts don't.

I hope the DST becomes permanent, and you northern folks will get used to it.

 

[Unclebaldrick]

Maybe we should go from changing our clocks twice a year to just once a year.

 

[printer]

I don't care if it is one or the other. The switching back and forth is plain silly now though.

 

[cannabineer]

If it were up to Reagan Republicans, we’d go an hour the other way for Daylight Deficit Spending Time.

So does Hawaii IIRC

 

[Sir Napsalot]

I don't think most ships at sea observe DST either
