Daylight Savings BS Again... (Page 2/3)
Fats MAR 17, 01:58 AM
Ya know, I'm sick of the time bs. Changing the time twice a year does nothing beneficial for anyone. It's a net drain on society.

You worried about kids waiting for a bus in the dark? Go to the School board and have school start an hour later, or give the little guys some flashlights. Life isn't always easy, sometimes you are in the dark.

There are many places that don't follow daylight savings time; Japan, China, Arizona, and Hawaii. The world doesn't end there. Not only can you still survive in those places, it's not bad at all.

I don't know why they didn't stay on standard time, it makes no sense to me, but I'm just glad we stopped the ignorant switching for now.

Their see money and think will help the "Green agenda."

Once you get above ~ 40° North Lat, about where NYC is, working "9-5" your hardly see the sun before and after work in winter.
just 1° or 2° more north your very close to Canada and is worse.

Change Dates seems to help but DST all year will cause a lot of problems not just kids as above example.

A Huge amount people does just that.

Many see No Reason to buy or install Win8 8.1 10 or 11 for Many reasons likely never ending fight just for M$ tracking, Ads and bloatware and Why Win7 is still over 15% market share.
Many have Win7 and 10 as dual boot and run 7 most times.

Many will just disable auto DST...

Auto Time setting is fixing 1 file w/ all date in it.
Or use regedit for same.
Is fairly easy to add a Time Zone that does whatever. I used to have "Space Time" w/ setting for normal setting so to screw-up other net admins.

I agree. When I was a Production Manager, most of my employees would gripe about the time change for one reason or another so, I simply adjusted the starting time of the shift for the labor pool. Just as Fats is suggesting. Our office folks who reported to the General Manager stayed on whatever the time was for the rest of the community. Had to because that's what our customers did. My production employees liked what I did for the most part. You're never gonna please everyone.

where are the elephants

''There are four mighty World Elephants that stand upon the carapace of Great A'Tuin the World Turtle, and upon whose massive shoulders revolves the Discworld itself. Their names are Tubul, Jerakeen, Berilia and Great T'Phon''

What happened to the elephant? I hope he is sleeping. He doesn't look very well.
