Daylight Savings Time

Unclebaldrick · Mar 17, 2022

Hot issue.

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

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

Brettman · Mar 17, 2022

I would like year round DST.

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

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.

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.

:mrgreen:

Unclebaldrick · Mar 17, 2022

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

printer · Mar 17, 2022

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

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 · Mar 17, 2022

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

Daylight Savings Time

Should the US Adopt Permanent Daylight Savings Time?

Yes, I love dawn at 9 am in December!

No, adopt permanent standard time, for the vampires.

No, just quit fucking with it or I will never change my smoke alarm batteries!
