Daylight Savings for good?
 

Noo the night time is the right time.

The time shifts are no longer needed. It's time to just settle - they don't have to settle on DST but just stop with the shifts.

Yes, but I'm failing to see why it has to wait until next year. That means we will go back again in the fall and forward again next spring. The article references airlines and broadcasters. Maybe someone in those industries can clue me in.

no.

I can give reasons when I get home.

more sun is always good

Screw that. This is the best time.

****s with me for about a week

YES!!

I hate when it gets dark at 4:30/5:00. MORE daylight please!

I have seen many reasons why we switch back and forth but none of them are worth doing it.

I would LOVE it to stay!

My brain is struggling with this right. So....if it passes, would the permanent time be what we have now or what we have in Nov/Dec?

Bill how bout I beat the **** out of you and we call it a day

We should have daylight savings every week. That way we really save some daylight

Or at least monthly

It would be what we have right now so in December instead of it being dark at 5pm it would be dark at 6pm

It's about time. Changing the clocks was always a dumb concept.

Yes please leave it as it is now. I mean permanent Spring Forward!

It doesn't exist.

It gets real ****in dark any time of day when someone posts up at the George Brett statue

Looking at my Alegent app, you can book into November. They would have to do some modifications I would imagine for all airlines.

And maybe that is already programmed in the scheduling.

This is a good thing. Do it!

We are not an agriculture based society anymore. Just decide and leave it.

I'm all for it. Do it!

I don't like it getting dark at 5:00 but then again, I don't like waiting until 10:30 to enjoy the "night life".

Do it!!!!!

Mildly interesting: Navajo Nation recognizes DST while the rest of AZ does not, including the Hopi's.

Part of Hopi Nation lies within Navajo Nation. So, if you are driving through the area, don't be surprised if your clock changes multiple times.

I'd prefer to have the extra hour of sunlight at the end of the day.

It will suck in the winter waiting until 8:30 for the sun to come up.

Probably to give people time to update software, etc. that would have shifted on it's own.

Day drinking is WAY better.

When the sun goes down it's time to chill out. Unless I'm on vacation.

But what about the children?

Yeah, I bet we'll miss aspects of it if we get rid of it. But overall, I'd rather not deal with shifting time. It wipes me out for a few days twice a year.

hell yeah

Why is this something we are worrying about right now though? Quite trivial.

Like zero

Really? Jet lag must kick you right in the nuts.

MPLS

Now with partial DST
June 21 Sunrise 4:50 Sunset 9:03
Dec 21 Sunrise 7:40 Sunset 4:40



without permanent DST
June 21 Sunrise 3:47 Sunset 8:03
Dec 21 Sunrise 7:40 Sunset 4:40



With Permanent DST
June 21 Sunrise 3:47 Sunset 8:03
Dec 21 Sunrise 8:40 Sunset 5:40

Granted, no plan is perfect. Somewhere there is a bad time. But do you want kids going to school when it is dark?

Now we shift 2x a year, but many do that anyway when they vacation.
If states are allowed to make their own rules, then someone could have 5 time changes by driving from Minn to texas. Talk about stupid.

Russia wants to change from 12 time zones to 5. There is a reason there is 24 zones.

I know someone on another forum that tried to NOT observe DST. It lasted about a week. It was too hard adjusting to everyone else that changed.


If you are smart, it takes about 3 days to adjust. Drink water. Take a nap or 3. Get over it pussies.

Next people will only allow vasectomies during NCAA weekend so they can "rest"

"Wipes me out" may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I definitely feel a little off for a few days. And there's plenty of evidence that people don't function as well right after the time changes.

It definitely makes me more tired, I also have a pretty damn good internal clock. Wake up right before my alarm goes off every day.

Okay. And yes, I've read that before. It would be interesting to see how many of those people rarely travel to other time zones, even within our own country.

I double screwed myself.

I started a job Monday that sits in mountain time. I'm central.

Ugh.

I'd rather always be on Standard time.

**** them kids

The government is so desperate, they are even taking time away from its citizens.

Florida voted to end the stupid time change years ago. Still ****ing happening. So stupid. We’re closest state to the equator, and don’t need DST.

If it’s all night, it’s got to be all right.

Yes please.

As a rule of thumb, if Cosmo is for it then I'm automatically against it until further notice

I’ve not day drink’d in a long time. Forgot how much fun that can be on occasion.

world at war
highest inflation in 40 years
President needs to be 25ed


This is what we are worrying about.


I am ready to cash out everything and head to the farm

A few years ago, old school district moved the elementary kids to the first bus run and starts school at 7:40.

If this passes, those kids will go to school in the dark and so will the second run of the HS kids.

I warned them. No one listened.

Another solution in search of a problem.

Anyone remember starting DST in January for a few years in the 70's?

I do!

They moving the time for that BBQ too?

Ok. I am for this then. I don't care about kids. This gives ppl more time to spend money and to consume during the winter months and Ill be sleeping anyway when its dark.

This may surprise you, but we're capable of working on multiple things at the same time.

Oh my god yes. I've never heard a reasonable explanation why we do this anyway.

feels like this will bring about arguments for making starting times for school later, like 9 am instead of 7 or 8.

Mainly just that 9am sunrises kind of suck, especially for schools.

No kidding, they are a fraction of the population who have no power at all and there's no goddamn reason the rest of us have to endure this stupidity because of the shittin' bastards.





Or maybe start the ****ing school day later. Do they really need to be out by 3:30 or whatever?

I mean the one argument for that I've seen that makes sense is it's better to have all the kids getting out of school before the commuting rush hour starts. Thought is to have all the kids home and not walking home or countless buses rolling around while all the adults are trying to get home too.

Maybe we can just push the whole day to start later I don't know. Would kind of suck to get home from work at 8 pm.

Lots of studies show that starting later is beneficial to the kids and they learn and retain more.

Tom Brady approves your message

Bout damn time.

Interesting, looks like Arizona might always be Pacific time, or at least the article says "would allow AZ to be on standard time".

At least in terms of sports, I prefer Pacific time.

If they got time right the first time we would have the right time. Split it down the middle. Go a half hour between and restart time from there. Boom


Gimme a Nobel

And defeat the entire reason for the change...

agrarian society blah blah blah or something

**** them studies

yeah it would.

They're going to school during the morning rush hour and they survive...or hey...keep them at school during that highly dangerous early evening rush hour traffic...maybe until 8 or so?

whatever, every damn kid has a smartphone these days, and every smartphone has a flashlight. Go stand out there in the dark you little punks, you'll be fine.

He he

There’s a lot of negative health effects of a yearly-scheduled change to circadian rhythm, and the elderly seem to be increasingly susceptible to health issues from circadian rhythm changes.

In other words, we have an issue here that’s not only screwing with the old farts in Congress but also their most consistent voting base, that already took a big hit with that virus thingy earlier.

Well, bye

School starts way too early anyway. I thought I've read studies that say 7am is too early for kids to learn.

When you actually use your body for a living, it sucked for me
Nothing worse than going to work in the dark and coming home the same.

Here, we either hit the morning rush or the early evening rush. Our district has 3 runs, Elem, HS, MS. Bus drivers get a break between HS and MS.

Damned if you do....cant make every one happy.
