Newfoundland switched to double daylight savings time for a short time when I was a kid. Parents HATED it because it was so hard to get kids to bed. :)

I think that’s called ‘Zulu’ time used in global activity coordination.

Going about our activities at the optimum time, regardless of the earths rotation reference makes sense, but good luck with that. We are still largely using a clock system established during agrarian societies.

Repeating a time cycle for a day based on light and dark has more inconveniencies and costs than just hassling with our clocks twice a year. It’s a shrinking world that technology has made even the least developed countries active in daily, and we still do not use the 24 hour (NOT ‘military time’, they only use it because it works better and they don’t have to have you get over yourself to make an improvement) clock.

Let’s not be encumbered with the facts, no matter how much it effects us. We can’t get our eyes open to see something at the end of our nose, like the metric system. How are you going to deal with something as abstract at time.







subnote:
People cook out a lot in the summer time. The largest lobby when DLST was passed in most states was the charcoal industry.
What a coincidence. ;)

You know, I don't think I would mind it so much if it stayed that way all year round.. lol :D

<in Tommy Chong voice> ...no thanx, man, I'm not into time...

Now just hold on there just a goldurned minute. I've been putting daylight into my Daylight Savings Account for decades, and you just wanna go and get rid of it? Just as I am getting close enough to see the light at the end of the tunnel? Humbug! I wanna refund!

a 24 hour clock wouldn't change the fact that when you log on people would be at diferent points in the day. It would just mean they would be at that point in the day at the same time as you. So in other words it would still be evening for Alasse it would just mean that her evening was at a diferent time for her is all. Insted of her evening being at 8 pm for her it would just be a 5am (this is assuming that they used EST to set the 24-hour clock).

Spoilsport ;).

Really I don't care which time they use. I just wish they'd pick one and stick to it.

Could we just wrap all the clocks in panties? :)

OMG! My inner voice now sounds like Tommy Chong! LMFAO!

Yours ISN'T? :confused:














:wobble:

PF...dicksbro said clocks


NOT....cocks :boobs:

I suddenly remembered a conversation with an old pal, who said his grandfather (a REAL strict conservative Southern Baptist...folks from the South will know the type) denounced DST as "messing with God's time"...I'd always heard the phrase, "boggles the mind", but I never truly experienced it until the moment I heard that...

LOL We get that as an excuse for just about anything they don't want to do/try here. :p
