Well, it's taken 50 years of complaining about changing time to get this close to ending it (and now we're complaining about that).

Hell, it took the NFL decades to half-ass address sudden death OT.

Give it a few more decades, I'm sure they'll right the wrong and it'll be on Saturday by 2050. :shrug:

Why would you want to be doing shit at 9am? Who cares.

somebody think of the poor Minnesotans

Even the Minnesotans want it. I lived in MN for almost 20 years after college, and I would have voted for this any chance I had.

Nostradamus predicted this would happen right before everyone starts wearing virtual reality goggles 90 percent of their time off from work.

o no

Hold back the entire country because of 6 people in Armpit, ND.

hey those 6 people are honest hard working people

I'm not scared of the dark. Stop changing the time.

No kidding, there's the same amount of daylight hours either way. I don't even care if we stay on winter hours. Just. ****ing. Stop.

Don't live in the north, easy answer.

The latest the sun will rise where I'm at on the West Coast would be 8:30 to 9:00.

And I don't give a ****.

What's forcing those dark areas to stay in the time zone they're in?

The Illuminati.

Yep.

Look at that map. Adjust the lines to slant to the east instead of straight north/south.

Problem solved.

Simple solution, just add 20 seconds each day the first part of the year and remove 20 seconds a day the last half of the year. Profit!

Those blue areas are all frozen shitholes anyway **** em

Whoa, we're talking about our government here. And this is the type of insanely complicated plan they would all love. It's going to happen.

Perfect for waterfowl hunting in Kansas. I could be sleeping in instead of getting up around at 5:30am

Correct. No ****ing kid is learning anything at 7:40 anyhow.

My kids were at the end of the bus route - they were actually on the bus longer than state law allows.

They got on the bus at 6:15am and got off the bus at 4:15pm every day.

Shit. I remember when my mom moved out of town and I had to ride a bus route that was nearly the same right to the minute.

I ****ing moved out to my dads. **** that.

We had other issues with the school district. We ended up homeschooling because they just refused to work with us.

Of course, we weren't the only ones. Which then led to the school district throwing up hurdles every chance they got because they treated the home schooling community like an enemy.

You have no idea how much I loathe our local CSD.

bump


happy DST end.

I get so excited for the extra hour of sleep I cannot sleep.

Sunset 5 pm

We need permanent standard time back

I love NOT having to change the clocks here in AZ

Developed during WW1 to save coal. Over 100 years ago! Ditch this shit forever! It is 2022 for God's sake!

I think this will be the last time we have standard time. Once we go back to daylight savings time the clocks will stay the same all year round…but I might be wrong.

This makes it a 17 hour shift I'm working.

suck it up buttercup... in six months time, it will be 15 :D

Yes I like that and I'll still get paid for a 16. It's a free hour paid.

Sunset tonight here is 5:15. Ug.

From Pacific, back to Mountain time today.

Let's ****ing go!!!!!!!!!!!

Having a boss in Eastern makes this huge.

No more 6am calls!!

I was just thinking about that for teleworkers with that situation! I bet that's much nicer.

I actually prefer the Pacific time for football, however. I go to bed so early that Sun/Mon night games put me past my bedtime. LOL. But I prefer the Mountain time for stock trading (7:30 open as opposed to 6:30).

Pacific has been great for everything but work and even that's not too bad.

Nearly everyone on my team is usually out of the office by 2:30-3:00 my time which is kind of nice.

As a resident of the most frozen shithole in the group you referred to, I can unequivocally tell you, that you’re not wrong.

As soon as parents realize permanent DST means 4 months of their kids walking to school in the dark they will undo the change back to switching twice per year.

Standard is the only thing that makes sense.

I am a fan of daylight savings time. If they stop doing it, then it will have more light out in the morning and I'll have to wash golf carts earlier in the morning which would be no bueno.

God I forgot about that. Lived in MN for one long ass year. Told my wife, when the ground is thawed enough to get the moving truck up the hill I’m loading it and going as far south as possible. Been in Florida ever since, and my next move will be the Caribbean. But I forgot how early it gets dark there compared to here during this time of year. I watch games that are being played in Fixboro in December at 5 and I’m like, it’s still sunny and bright here. Don’t miss MN one bit. The cold there is just too much for my thin blooded ass.

Also I thought Florida voted to get rid of the time change, but they never implemented it. Or maybe I’m just misremembering.

Do em after

Not looking real promising. The house needs to pass it, but apparently there's a debate over which time to make permanent, even though DST has a significant majority of votes in polling. Shockingly, politics getting in the way of the will of the people.

Keep it lighter later. It's really just that easy.

DST all the way.

I want that extra hour of light at the end of the day. That's playtime outside with the kids.

I will admit it kind of sucks to have it dark until 8am, but I'm willing to live with that.

Can we do a poll, Tits?

What kids walk to school these days? I thought parents got the cops called on them if they didn't have their kids on a leash.

Kids should be starting the school day later anyway and as pointed out above, not as many walk to school as they used to.

Daylight savings year round.

Our district just moved to

Elem start 8 am
HS 830
MS 915

Daylight Saving, not Savings.

They voted to get rid of it a few years ago, but apparently the federal government has to approve it. Not sure why this bill is just sitting around. Nobody anywhere wants the time change, but they just want to hold on to it for the hell of it.

Go wash your legs

LMAO

Aren't after school/work activities more important than having more daylight in the morning at bus stops?

When I was a kid, the main thing I hated about bus stops was standing around and freezing my ass off in the winter. Light versus dark wasn't the problem.

Oh go blow it out your ass

Prefer keeping daylight saving but would even take standard just to get rid of the changing clocks. Stupid. Get rid of this sh*t.

I don't care what we do, but can we just keep it the same all year round? The change messes with me.

Same for me in Hawaii.

Yeah, I had a 5:30am meeting with the east coast that will now be 6:30 because we don’t change time here. Love it.

When it’s dark they can’t see what a shithole they live in. Sounds like a win/win.

You’d think North Dakotans would want it to be dark 24 hours a day all year so they could pretend they didn’t live there. :shrug:

Extra light before work is useless. No one is cutting the grass before work. But I can do it after. When we drop back I have to save everything up for the weekend. It's just shitty.
