WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?

So change the time school starts twice a year instead of ****ing with the rest of humanity.

The legislature needs more to do.

No, it's the switching to a time scheme where it's dark at 4:30 in the afternoon during what is already the bleakest time of the damn year.

Who the **** actually enjoys that?

I enjoy it about as much as it being bright outside at 8 when it's 110 and blistering, that's just as bleak.

Maybe the thing MO has ever proposed.

Try traveling over seas a couple times a week and then get back with me.

Not exactly normal...try working swing shifts where it affects you every time. 13 hour shift in the spring and losing an hour of sleep between 12 hour shifts in the fall.....sucks hugely :banghead:

And the fact that the Earth is round. Really screws us up. How dare it rotates and makes 24 hours.

No matter if we use standard time or DST, there will be weird and unnatural sunrise and sunset times

Here, on June 21, sun comes up at 4:45 am, that would be 3:45 if we were at standard

on Dec 21, sun rises at 7:45 am- that would be 8:45 if we were on DST.

I do not see an advantage either way.


I have made some 8th grade honors students do a "what if" with the tilt.

We go in depth with seasons, tilt, sunrise, sunset, DST.

Then I make them explain the seasons, temps, climate, sunrise and sunset IF the Earth was not tilted 23.5 degrees.

They do well. Takes a lot of thought.

What, was this in the 1870s? My high school had electrified lighting.

Yep the sun will get pissed about what time it comes up.

Oh and HCF not read what he's railing against? Tell me it isn't so.
