As to finding out… I Do
I’ll be at K and the Bush on Sun/Mon, and possibly Tue. If you have any interest in throwing down, let me know. I haven't looked for the heavy bag in months. I’ll put some time in before I leave.
I’m shaking with anticipation - haven’t been tested for a bit.
Do you have hospitalization? ime, the courts can cost me if you don't.

Daylight savings time annoys me. Particularly because the resorts don't adjust hours accordingly. Why not open later in the early weeks of DST, move opening time back to nine as things start to warm up, and eventually open (and close) early.
Particularly in March, if there's a significant dump give patrol more time to finish snow safety.
Better yet, get rid of DST.
Driving in New Jersey annoys me. I don't know which is more frustrating, NJ or Long Island. They both suck but at least the road network on LI is less confusing.
Fo those of us who like to ski before work that would suck. But I agree that for at least a little while they could stay open an hour later, till it gets too warm at least.Quote:

Buncha charmin jiffypuff soft MFers. It ranks up there with adults whining about being hungry, or bored, or other complaints more befitting a child.Quote:

TLDR;

According to a study of hospital admissions across the state of Michigan, there was a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the switch to daylight saving time. In a study from Finland, researchers found that the overall rate of ischemic stroke was 8% percent higher during the first two days after a daylight saving time transition.
I think "whining" about people who end up dead as a result of the time change is pretty justified, honestly!
But perhaps that's just me, eh?

have you ever slept on the street? Because you sound like an asshole that never has (I have, by choice, traveling) The problem isn’t the lack of 800-count sheets and a duvet silly cube monkey, the problem is the noise and the disruption. The last two aren’t things that humans really adapt too, and affect quality of sleep.Quote:

If you are arguing against the switch from DST to PST on the basis of health, then we should stay on PST according to the sleep experts, because permanent DST is going to result in more dark mornings which is detrimental to health.
So of course it's logical the politicians have picked permanent DST as the solution.
https://aasm.org/advocacy/position-s...tion-statement
"Although chronic effects of remaining in daylight saving time year-round have not been well studied, daylight saving time is less aligned with human circadian biology — which, due to the impacts of the delayed natural light/dark cycle on human activity, could result in circadian misalignment, which has been associated in some studies with increased cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic syndrome and other health risks. It is, therefore, the position of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine that these seasonal time changes should be abolished in favor of a fixed, national, year-round standard time."
Yes, not by choice first, and then later in life by choice (similarly, traveling). Personally, my biggest problems/fears were safety and being cold and wet.Quote:

As for the heartattacks and strokes associated with DST, that makes total sense. Mornings are super common for hearattack and stroke, and waking up biologically a little earlier than normal is a little more stressful than normal. And that is one of many great reasons to do away with DST... but the reason most adults whine about DST is because waking up early is a little bit uncomfortable, and adults whining about being a little bit uncomfortable annoys me.
Medical Billing
I got a VM from the provider of shoulder sling post surgery :"Due to the fact the your bill has been outstanding since December and we have had no communication we have no choice but to send you to collections"
Call back, "no only have I been in communication via telephone, I believe I paid that invoice via check"
Check records, yep cleared in January.
Call back "Yeah, that check cleared 1/19." "Well my co working is out until next thursday. I'll try to get to the bottom of this. Please send be a copy of the check"
"Yeah, no. Lets summarize. You waited 5month to invoice be. You botched the insurance part. I called told you I was mailing a check (they charge fees on CC), I mailed the check, it cleared, the left a snarky VM saying you were sending me to collection and you still have apologized" "I'm new here"
I love it. Without DST the sun would come up at 4 am around the summer solstice here in Seattle. The current system works fine for me. About the only imposition is the five minutes it takes me to change the clocks that don't do it automatically. I can handle that twice a year for the benefit it brings. For better or for worse most of our schedules are dictated by the clock rather than the actual hours of daylight, so I feel like DST in the summer does the most good for the most people, especially at the higher latitudes.Quote:

The only issue with year round daylight saving time is how dark it is for schools. I still remember the one year we tried that in the 70’s. Very weird in 2nd grade starting the first couple of hours in total darkness.
The current system of changing back and forth seems to piss everyone off the so it’s probably the best compromise. I used to bitch about it but the alternatives all have issues. As for heart attacks, the worst time of the year for heart attacks is Christmas to New years. If that’s our concern, time to cancel those along with DST.
