Senators Introduce ‘Lock the Clock’ Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent
Lawmakers have revived efforts to make daylight saving time permanent, clashing with sleep experts who advocate for standard time for improved health.
wonder if anything will be done,and if so,what?
I also started counting down on birthdays. I may pass myself someday, which may or may not cause a singularity.Getting old quick really sucks you know that right.
As you push north the sunset on the shortest day of the year gets earlier and earlier. I woukd rather have that sunset be later, so as I don't go to work in the dark and get off in the dark.
When you go far enough north, that’s the way it is anyway.
Playlist for you. It is in reverse order though. Smarter Every Day on film. Kodak tour, how they measured milliseconds on mechanical cameras, and more. Worth it.A brief history of time...
Government didn't create our 'timezone' and standard time system. The railroads did. Because otherwise, you could not schedule trains. And they crashed into each other. The government had the Naval Observatory in DC (where the VP now lives) to handle timekeeping for Naval ships and coordinated to Greenwich Observatory in England... But once you got out into the countryside... every town and city had their own time. Generally based either off a Town Hall or Church Clock..
Then came Standard time... but that was NFG until someone could come along and make a watch accurate enough to keep the trains running on time. And, no, not talking about EIchman. But Webster Ball.

His company is still around and makes beautiful watches and they don't even break the bank!!! Old "Railroad Grade" pocket watches are pieces of art. And (except for, well, real Ball Watches) are dirt cheap because noone gives a crap about pocket watches any more. Youngerns don't collect them... noone carries them. Which is a shame. The pocket watch, the fountain pen and the 35mm camera were three magnificent mechanical creations that used to be everywhere but now are all replaced by ghey-assed iPhones.
Get rid of Daylight Savings. Bring back the pocket watch, the fountain pen and the mechanical camera!!!!
Sirhr
PS. One of my New Years 'goals' is to stop using my stupid iPhone and start using a real camera again. Digital and film. And to unpack my darkroom from storage and start making Photography great again!
PPS... I'll add my own Clavin if called for....
Those muther fukers!!! Battery powered tools are a blessing when it comes to city lawn care.
We do not do that now. Much of Europe does use DST, so we are always the same hours apart. If we stop, the difference will change twice a year. I always use UTC when providing time to people out of state/country. THey do not get it when I say we are always DST, lot easier to use UTC. It is not that hard.
lol! No, I have to get up early, but I’m not a loud person, at least not till I get to the concrete plant. Morning people they wake others cause they are already awake deserve to be kept awake late at night.
Except they change at a different time than we do.We do not do that now. Much of Europe does use DST, so we are always the same hours apart. If we stop, the difference will change twice a year.

You replied to the statement about the rest of the world saying we wouldn't have to keep track anymore. That is wrong. If you don't care, that is fine. Other people do.
I am in the DST camp. That said, I will “lose to win” on the ultimate problem which is the time change twice a year. It’s an abomination. Flip a freakin coin just set it and leave it!
Time has little meaning here in the west. In Maine, “on time” was always 15 mins early.
Aren't you adorable. You say something really stupid, and try to deflect by pretending you didn't really say it. Whatever.Do you need a gofundme for watches so you can set thrm to all the places "you need to keep track of"
I am not sure what time the DMV is open tomorrow because I lost track of the time in Beruit.
I didn't deflect or forget. I am making fun of you for being retarded enough to want to argue about my opnion of DLS, whilst pretending you need to keep track of the time in other countries. Some seriously dumb stuff, but mostly what we have come to expect from you.
I do not try to keep track of anything, I did not state anything like that. Already said how I deal with such things. However, your response was to someone who did.
The government specializes in hiring people like you….. check your email box I’m sure there’s a job offer Incoming. Are you a fat lesbian …..your in!
