An EXTRA Hour!

Wish we would just keep it at Standard, instead of this DST shit.

We are currently on DST. Standard is what we are moving to this weekend. Many states are passing laws to make DST (summer time) permanent. But federally it's not legal yet so only if it becomes legal federally then we can stop changing the clock. There was a bill passed in the Senate at the beginning of this year called Sunshine Protection Act. But it has yet to be put on the house floor. And it probably never will since the house is a shit show right now
- I don't even gaf. Whichever way. I can get used to it. Just split the difference and shift a half hour and leave it. I just want to quit changing twice a year.
- Arizona hasn't done DST since 1968. What's preventing other states from doing the same?
- IIRC the issue was we can’t pass “permanent standard time” laws but we could pass “permanent daylight time”. I could be wrong though

Can't wait to be blinded by the sun in the morning, and blinded on the drive home with all these super fucking bright LED headlights.

I can't say I miss incandescent bulbs, but holy fuck I miss the warm lighting they provided. Why does everything have to be so damn blue?
- Newer cars are coming with warmer LEDs. I have a '24 impreza and it's almost perfect white now.
  The projector housings definitely help too. Those LED retrofits are the dangerous ones. The halogen style housings just spill light everywhere.

Pro tip: Be unemployed so you don’t have to worry about getting up for work.

That is literally unprofessional
- It's a pro tip though.

No daylight savings time change masterrace saskatchewan representing

But you have to live in Saskatchewan...
- Or Arizona…
- That sounds cold

We're just getting back the hour that was stolen from us in the spring.

As a bartender, I can’t wait to work an extra hour…

I did like drinking an extra hour though

Already clocked back here.

Wouldn't mind doing it again this weekend.
- We should just do it every weekend.

Anyone remember when the US Senate decided to let DST be on all year and it passed, then the House fucked it up because they are stupid dumb fuckers thinking they had more important things to do and did nothing note worthy? I remember.... I am so sick of moving the clock, especially in spring.... it hurts.

Don't forget s other chance for the sun to be in the eyes while commuting in the morning!

A whole 60 minutes of regretting your life choices! What a drag it only comes once a year.

To me it just means a week of getting up and getting hungry one hour too early. My body hates daylight saving.

Daylight savings time ends for the season this weekend as we're switching back to "Standard" time.
Switching in general sucks terribly though. I agree with you there.
- Yeah I meant switching back and forth between ST and DST. We almost got rid of it in the EU! Then COVID came so we had more pressing matters I guess.

I can't wait to be at work during the rollback and think "it's only 3:30? I swear it was 2:30 like 2 hours ago"

Good timing with Halloween. Stayed up an hour extra last night, just gotta last to Sunday to be back in sync.

I liked it. Got an extra hour.

I don't. My four month-old doesn't understand DST
- Yeah my kids are definitely going to ruin it.
  And it’s also gonna feel like I’m stuck at work later than I want to be too.
  Ah well, I don’t make the rules.
- Pfft, kids, ungrateful little shits

Daylight savings time baby!

It is indeed unattainable!

Mainframes, cics, and old software makes for the traditional maintenance window.
