Try the 6:30AM walk it is lovely right now. It’s better because it is the natural time.

Noon is fucking noon no matter how much the white collar men of the world want to bend time and space to their will. The whole world doesn’t turn on 9 to 5. It’s bad enough we already start schools earlier than is developmentally appropriate to accommodate the parents who have to get to work by 9.

DST only serves urban white collar workers. It doesn’t serve the grey collar support staff whose kids are going to school in the dark, being passed by the stay at home wife of the white collar guy who is driving his kids to school. It doesn’t serve the blue collar workers who have to be out the door just that much fucking earlier.

DST was all started by some rich fucking finance guys in London who wanted to golf after work. Fuck that it’s time for it to die.

Meh, the only thing that isn't a completely manmade construct with clock time is the fact that noon is pegged to the sun's meridian and that's already fucked by dividing the earth into time zones, so you're generally off by 30 minutes, plus or minus, even without DST.

Yes, so all the more reason to not add another 1hr a deviation.

It’s like you hate winter. Weird. I’m assuming that you live in the US, where? Anyone living north of 45 and complaining about changes in the diurnal cycle is stupid and/or should move south.

I live at 44.8.

Having lived 48 deg - 32 deg, I’ve found 39 ish pretty ideal. As long as tall mountains are close by.

Because no one can see your dog shitting so you don't have to pick it up.

The idea that more people would rather have sunrise at 4am than sunset at 9pm is dumb. Yes, there are people recreating at 4am. I do it too. I'm doing it so I can either
1. Have solitude on busy trails or
2. Get it done and home before work.

These early morning people will often be recreating that early regardless of when sunrise is. I know that's the case for me. I would way rather have a late sunset that I can enjoy out on the lake with family with more time after work. I suspect there are more people who agree with me based on the packed trailheads, boat launches and the lake itself.

I'm fine with status quo. It's really not that hard to remember and has almost zero impact after the first day.

This guy gets it.

Wait, its light at 4 AM?

I don’t care which we use but changing the clocks twice a year is stupid.

During DST civil twilight starts at 0423 and the sunrise is at 0503 on the summer solstice where I live

Right. In other words, 3:23 and 4:03 if we stayed on standard time.

Perfect, as my grandpa would say, “we work from can’t see to can’t see”.

Sunset is at 2101 and civil twilight ends at 2142 on the summer solstice with DST. I don’t think a 2000 sunset would be bad with permanent PST. You would still have light until nearly 2100.

How many clocks do you actually have to change these days? Some cars, microwave, stove, a watch?

I’m guessing he meant changing the time.

I dunno about stupid, but it’s annoying

I can roll either way…with that in mind, it’s seems an improvement to eliminate the annoyance
