Daylight Savings Time?

[striker55]

Its amazing how accurate they are isnt it?

Eatin time, time for you to get home, etc.

Amazing.

And bed time, they will sit and stare at my wife when it's bedtime.

Ours would take off down the hall to the bedroom at our normal bedtime. If we did not follow, after a while he would come back down the hall then stand and stare until someone put him to bed. {Our bed is high and he could no longer make the jump.}

Funny thing is that he did not want us to pick him up all the way. First he would put his front paws up on the side of the bed, reaching as high as he could. As if to say, "I can almost do it, I just need a bit of a boost."

It rates right up there with converting to metric, $1 dollar coins, killing the penny, and instituting mandatory term limits for politicians - a good idea that will never get anywhere.

I remember gas being sold at the pump by the liter back in the late 70's. That lasted a month or two.

For thousands upon thousands of years, the human race got up and got to work when the sun came up. A timepiece was made in ancient times that corresponded to the arbitrary numbers assigned to it. Humans then lived a few thousand more years using that time system. Then along comes some idiot asshole shitstain m'effer that decided to screw things up. LEAVE THE EFFING CLOCKS ALONE!! Go back to Standard time and leave it be. Period.

There’s no time to pass bills that are beneficial to our nation. Theres ice cream to eat, and debt to take on!

Had to put ours to sleep a while back. Old age. Lived a long and good life. So hard to do, though. Thankfully no long decline.

Miss him greatly.

Still look for him when we get home. And at 7:30 p.m when he wanted some treats every evening. Strange not to see him in his chair.

Just got back from Luna's , morning run, reading Dad_Roman, striker55, and your posts. Just thinking how unfair, or what a cruel twist it is, that our furry friends are with us far too short of time.

Our dog doesn't understand the concept of DST. This Sunday morning she will want to go out at her regular time. Doe anyone know how to reset the clock on a dog?

Tossing a shoe usually works.

Tossing a shoe usually works.

Sometimes, mostly catches it and returns for another throw, but with a few tooth holes in it. Dog turns everything into a game.

The lazy dog isn't the problem since she'd sleep until noon. It's the darn cat that thinks it's starving if I'm not up and feeder her by 5am.

Simple solution, feed the cat to the dog...

Daylight savings is the equivalent of cutting off an inch from the bottom of a blanket, then sewing it to the top and saying you made it longer.

I thought it had passed, oh well.

Easiest friggin bill to pass yet on the back burner.

Businesses should operate on “staggered shifts”, which overlap. That would also lessen urban traffic jams.

I hate the “regular time”, should have DST year around !

Instead of DST being a one hour change, why not two or three hours. Whatever happens, the number of hours of daylight won't change.

There are 24 hours in a day and probably the rotation of the Earth won't be changing. The amount of light and dark in a day are the same, whatever clock designations given them. Moving the hands of a clock forward or backward doesn't change anything.

Thanks for making my point by mansplaining it to everyone.

Some states are acting on their own, why can't Texas https://www.npr.org/2022/11/06/1134562545/daylight-saving-time-permanent-states

Trigger laws aren’t perma DST. Besides, I’d rather have us be perma standard time like Arizona and Hawaii, which are the only two states that don’t change the clocks ever.
