Clock "Spring Forward" Tonight

[2speedy1]

I don't see many people scaremongering about afternoons the way you talk about.

The bigger reason people want DST year round is to have usable time in the evenings in the winter. Most people are going to school\work in the dark in Dec-Feb regardless.

The number one proponent and the guy that spoke to congress when they brought up the bill last year, it was his number 1 reason. This was the entire premise for the bill last year.


Maybe look up sunrise and sunset for DM for the winter and see just how much extra time you would have in the winter if you stuck with one. People have no grasp that its basically dark at 5PM regardless in the winter. But the mornings can be much darker for much longer.

Why do you care? I’m 43 and I don’t know any different, it really shouldn’t bother anyone. Looks like an excuse to cry in my opinion.

Yet you're in here investing time on something that shouldn't bother you.

Whenever possible

Why do this twice a year? It throws everyone's body clock off. It makes everyone change their clocks twice a year. If your employer wants to change your work hours seasonally that's a private decision.

It reminds me of the fable about the man whose rope was too short so he cut some off of one end to add to the other end to make it longer. We're not changing any amount of sunshine or darkness. Only just changing the man-made designation to fool ourselves.

Why not?

Should we remove "Tonight" from the thread title? I'm afraid I'm going to set my clock ahead an hour, AGAIN!

what thread should we go look at to see why you got your time out?

 

[NWICY]

Got a different car in January went to change the clock all I did was check the box that popped up on the console screen. Easy Peasy.

i always spring back

A college friend used this as a reminder which direction to change the clock for Daylight/Standard time:

"Spring forward / Fall on your face"

So all you are saying is that you can’t adapt to change. Again it’s been this way my entire life and it might cause sleep issues for a night or two but again having raised two kids, that’s really not a big deal. So let’s make an issue about it online to strangers because that solves it

I can handle change. But meaningless, just for the sake of it change? Why put up with it? And the internet??? Did you know the US Senate passed a bill last year to make it permanent? Died in the House, but hoping it passes soon.

You'd rather have 4am sunrises in the summer and 730pm sunsets? No thanks.

Actually I'd prefer to have what is Daylight Savings Time all year, but yeah, could handle that.

 

[MeanDean]

Why not?

Everybody that had to get up an hour earlier today and feel like ****. And probably will for the entire week until their body clock adjusts.

Raise your hand if you had a heart attack and died from this.

TIA

Raise your hand if you had a heart attack and died from this.

TIA

What if I had a heart attack but it wasn't from the time change?

Would hate that. If that happens though I guess I would have to try to just go to bed earlier.
