They keep changing it every year.

Does anyone need to manually change a clock anymore?

Cablebox changes automatically.
Phone.
Computer.

My stove and microwave don't change. And I have this old school clock that hangs on the wall. Your comment is stupid.

The only ones that come to mind for me are the microwave, and the ones in my truck and van. I don't recall having to mess with the one in the wife's car so it must change automatically.

Microwave, range, truck radio, alarm clock, wall clocks, wristwatches...

Smart houses are the future. I have a dumb house.

Quite a few actually. Especially since they changed it just a couple years ago and now electronics change during the wrong week.

That's a good question. We got from Daylight Savings Time to Standard Time, so it seems like you shouldn't move away from something called Standard Time. But why is it Standard Time? Is there some reason that Standard Time is Standard Time? Is it so the sun will be at its highest spot at noon?

You have successfully disproved that theory.

If you can easily ascertain the answer but chose not to, it's a stupid question.

If you'd read the thread, you'd notice that I looked up the answer immediately. Before anyone else even posted.

Your assertion that I chose not to look it up is incorrect. If you could easily research your own assertion, but chose not to, your statement is stupid.

Interesting. I haven't experienced this.

I have no wall clocks, and my phone is my alarm clock.

Shit, I dont think I've ever set a microwave or range clock.

I do have one analog clock. Its in my car.

**Rain Man** · 10-22-2012, 10:10 PM

So is standard time defined so that noon is the sun's high point? I kind of think that's true, but I don't know.

Noon isn't boobie time? WTF? I'm pretty sure noon is boobie time.

DST ends this Sunday at 2 AM, don't listen to all those saying Nov. 4th

Unless you live in the states in which case, I believe Nov. 4 is correct.
