Iowa ending DST?

[harimad]

So you want to be a half hour off from everyone else in the country/world? Seems odd.

We'd line up well with India. They are a half-hour offset.

Then, why don't we just go to one time zone, if the rest is irrelevant?

Time zones are VERY relevant for when the sun is over your part of the country. DST would just push it so that the sun stays out longer at night for everyone.

“I can remember in high school wrestling, as soon as daylight saving time hit you were walking home in the dark,” said Danielson. “It gets darker much quicker in the wintertime. We know exposure to sunlight and daylight affects people’s mood.”

Danielson is the sponsor of the bill. Maybe somebody should tell him that we are on daylight saving time in the summer and winter is standard time.

Or people could just get up an hour earlier. Not sure what the huge difference is one side or the other.

I can't see outside from my cubical so what's it matter if it is light or dark outside?

If this passes I will just call Sen. Jeff Daniel

Yeah he doesn't even know what he is trying to change obviously.

Forget that, let's go back to each town having its own time. Set your watch by the train!

Meh, this will effect my life in absolutely no way.

O/U is 2 pages

I would rather keep it all year around!!

And I think North Korea is too.

I prefer to just set it one way or the other, but only if the rest of the country does it too. Having us on an island is stupid

Such a stupid idea to ditch it if not everywhere.

Yay... 10am kickoffs at JT in October.

NOT!

It wouldn't change the actual time of kickoff, just what the clock says. ISU morning games would still be starting at noon eastern.

When someone asks you what time it is, do you look at the sun or your watch?

I look at my phone.

well that depends. If I am laying in bed, the sunlight coming in my window wakes me up and I roll over to see it's 4:45 AM I am going to be pretty pissed.

Sounds like someone needs to invest in room blackening shades.

Incentivizing me to buy shades...that's TYRANNY.

I wasn't bragging, I was using it as a visual aid. And for the record I have posted that same picture in other threads before (such as the DOT officer thread).

Meh, it's alright, I guess.
