Have We Changed the Clocks for the Last Time?
The Senate voted quickly to make daylight savings time permanent, and end the twice-yearly disruption of sleep schedules.
Will the House finally vote to do away with the very bad idea of changing our clocks every six months?Some members of the House of Representatives are speaking about the Senate's recent vote in favor of making daylight saving time permanent, a move that might be popular with some Americans, but isn't popular with everyone. It's not clear when, if at all, the House will vote on the legislation as members look to resolve other, more pressing issues. As The Daily Wire reported, "The U.S. Senate voted unanimously on Tuesday to make Daylight Saving Time permanent in what many say will make short winter days better with an extra added hour of sunshine in the afternoon." Members from both parties reportedly immediately stated their support for the move, although they seemed to be somewhat surprised by the quick passage through the upper chamber. "I think it just caught us all by surprise that the Senate actually produced something and sent it to us. Usually -- usually bills go the other way," Representative Pete Aguilar (D-CA), told reporters early Wednesday, per The Hill. On Wednesday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told The Hill she is in favor of getting rid of the time shift, "[b]ut she wouldn't provide further details about when the House could take up the matter, particularly with leaders working with the administration to respond to Russia's invasion of Ukraine," the outlet noted. "We didn't realize they were acting so quickly and dispositively of it," Pelosi said. "I, myself, support making daylight saving time permanent. I think it's not going to be much of an issue for us. But we have to socialize it in our caucus, and our Congress, not just the caucus."Some "experts" -- what would we do without them? -- say that ending the changing of the clocks is a positive move, but it's Standard Time that should be made permanent, not Savings Time.
"We do applaud stopping the switching during the course of the year and settling on a permanent time," said Jocelyn Cheng, a member of the AASM's public safety committee. But, she added, "standard time, for so many scientific and circadian rationales and public health safety reasons, should really be what the permanent time is set to." The AASM made this stance clear in 2020 when it released a position statement recommending that the country institute year-round standard time. Its reasoning, in part, is that standard time is more closely associated with humans' intrinsic circadian rhythm, and that disrupting that rhythm, as happens with daylight saving time, has been associated with increased risks of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and depression.Look, I'm fine with either. I have a stupid clock-radio CD player and every six months I have to google the instruction manual to figure out how to change the time again. It's one of those ones where you have to use the fast forward button and the mode button at the same time while also pushing the AM/FM selector three times. That kind of a deal. Not to mention the insomnia I'm having since we switched.

Also, how does this affect the synchronization of U.S. time with the rest of the time zones in the world?
A lot of folks, including here on this blog, have advocated the use of UTC for standardizing our time.
Maybe we should simply measure time after the Big Bang, kind of like we use Kelvin to measure temperature relative to absolute zero.

Same here. Too much afternoon/evening sunlight. I walked to my car at noon by my watch, and the angle of the sun was telling me, "The sun is not directly overhead, so it can't be noon."
With perma-DST, even in the winter it won't get dark until 6 pm. That won't feel right. And I hate that the sun keeps pounding away at my windows in summer until the sun slips behind the buildings across from me at 7 pm (note that the sun is still not down). It doesn't save any energy. But of course our "leaders" think Guam will tip over and the plants will get an extra hour of sunlight. Gah.

I think standardizing on, well, Standard Time makes more sense, but I'll take either.
But no, even if this passes and gets signed, we'll have at least two more time changes. Stopping the semi-annual clock change is actually going to create a gigantic amount of work. Virtually every piece of software is going to have to be updated to handle it and even though the change will be fairly easy, it's a lot of stuff to update and test and validate. If it passes, I can't imagine that it will take effect before this time *next* year, which means we'll "fall back" and "spring forward" one more time.

Yep, and I also agree with whoever that columnist was last week who said that we should be able to pick our own adjectives and force others to comply with our adjective preferences.
Why should pronouns get all the action?
Next time somebody announces their preferred pronouns, tell them your preferred adjectives and demand that they use them
when addressing you (or otherwise they're committing a micro-aggression against you and you might have to hurt them).

I'm still using the same one I bought when I started grad school in 1988. I believe it's the longest-running appliance I own.
As for permanent DST, all I know is that it won't be dark here at a quarter til 5 in the afternoon in the dead of winter and I'm just fine with that.

It was already in force in 1973, wasn't it? It started in 1967 in my area. Do you mean he tried to *cancel* DST? Besides, right now, the last part of the school year, it's pitch dark until 7 am. And I see school buses trundling the little darlings to their indoctrination centers earlier than that. So even with the much-lauded DST, it's still dark for the future troublemakers.

Had an Asian friend (of Chinese ancestry) who had been raised in Hawaii.

[Of course, my father was late for his three different weddings, but he always had the excuse of being drunk].
It's kind of like the Native Americans out here on the Navajo reservation -- they have a different concept of time and no concept of punctuality.

And you don't really have to change anything anymore either. Everyone's clocks change automatically for the most part.
I always find it weird how some people make such a big deal out of it. It's like oh my sleep was off for a week after the change? Really? You never go to bed or wake up an dan hour before or after your "normal" bed time or wake up time? You never sleep in on weekends? And when you do, it's that much of a shock to your system? I kinda call bullshit on that. People just like to complain about everything and anything.

I'm not sure why I have to say this. DST was a good idea. Humans naturally want to rise with the sun and begin their work.We've literally been doing that for 1000s of years. DST coordinates a change most people would otherwise make on their own if they could such that actual written/recorded schedules don't change. Sure get rid of DST just realize people will keep piecemeal winter/summer schedules and shift between them on their own, causing scheduling difficulty everywhere, in every industry it WILL happen, so get ready for the pain of a non-coordinated shift and tell yourself it's better than DST as many times as you have to, to believe it. As far as making DST "permanent" that's just stooooopid. Why permanently offset your timezone from other time zones on your latitude? What do you possibly hope to gain that way?

Ah, so I see you're one of those people who doesn't understand how the game is played. Allow me to educate you through a proposed rewrite:
Permanent DST is not only sensible, proper and appropriate, it is the ONLY sensible, appropriate and proper way to proceed. Any discussion of standardizing on Standard Time instead or - heaven forbid - maintaining the current semi-annual time change is evidence of a weak mind, sinister intent, ethical bankruptcy and moral turpitude. Any of you so-called "people" who disagree with me on this are destined for a richly-deserved eternity in Hell and my only hope is that your corporeal life is made to match it.

Good news citizens!! The time is now whatever time Friend Computer says it is!! That does mean that you citizens of level Red classification and below will have to pay constant attention to make sure that you are on time, as being tardy is punishable by a mandatory night in the suicide box! Please pay close attention and be where you need to be when you need to be there!
Also mandatory volunteers are needed to build more suicide boxes. Please report where and when you have been told to do so! Failure to report will be punished by a night in the suicide box!!

If you want more light, CHOOSE TO GET UP EARLIER IN THE SUMMER. There is 0 reason to always choose to wake up with the same amount of time to get to work each morning.
It's funny that if I want to wake up with the light (which is far better for my body), I can't choose that in the winter (and get to work on time) with "WE'RE SAVED BY DST YEAR ROUND" stupidity.

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at March 21, 2022 03:28 PM (txdEq)
There is not one electronic time device that is capable of year-round DST.
The existence of Arizona and Hawaii has compelled all digital clock makers to have a perpetual Standard Time, but there is no perpetual Daylight Saving Time.
Congress is fixing to pass a law to remove the twice annual clock-change. Of the two possibilities, they chose the one that breaks everything when they could have chosen the one that works on most devices.
Never underestimate the ability of Congress to fuck things up.

This is my Common Sense™ proposal to eradicate all time zones and set all clocks to UTC.
No more of this multi-time-zone grab ass. Since pretty much all of our government is a client-state to China, and since China is Single Time Zone and seems to be operating fine, it would be no problem at all to adopt UTC. (adopting Beijing time would be a bit weird being that it is on the other side of the International Date Line)

Some 40-year old law student who went inside the Capitol on Jan. 6, after a Capitol cop told him it was okay to go inside so long as he didn't break anything (and he didn't). He walked around for less than 20 minutes before leaving.
The FBI searched his house, his law degree is being withheld, ICE has stripped his Global Entry access (and won't say why), and he's facing 20 years in prison for his "disorderly conduct" crime.
Meanwhile, BLM and antifa criminals burn down buildings, assault people with bike locks and cement milkshakes, lob molotov cocktails into occupied cop cars, etc., and either get charged with some minor misdemeanor, or don't get charged at all -- because theirs was "mostly peaceful" or "entirely justified" rioting and looting.

I taught in Korea at an English after-school establishment. I stayed late to try to help someone in 10 PM detention. I left at 11 PM. It was middle of the week and there was school the next day.
The school buses were out bringing the kids home. I walked to my apartment. There was a small park and a lot of kids were hanging out for a few minutes. I went to 'Family Mart' which was doing crazy good business with all the kids eating Ramen. A lot of kids. 11 PM. School night. It was pretty crazy. The kids were amazing.
I was on a smaller, dark back alley street and I saw one girl walking alone. I grew up near Detroit. In Canada, but we got Detroit news. My mother was from Detroit. I remember seeing her and thinking she'd be raped and killed in Detroit....now in it's 4th decade of rebuilding..

I look up at the night sky, and I know that, yes, we are part of this Universe, we are in this Universe, but perhaps more important than both of those facts is that the Universe is in us. When I reflect on that fact, I look up-many people feel small, because they're small and the Universe is big, but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars.

What I learned today. In ancient Rome, during a fun day watching gladiators die in the Colosseum, if you wanted frosting on the cake, you could go to the fornices, arched insets in the outside walls of the Colosseum, where prostitutes would haul your ashes. It is from this practice that we get the word "fornicate".

I bought a clock some years back that was smart enough to know which day they changed it, and it solved the problem for me. Of course, not 2-3 years later, they decided to change the dates. So, now I've got a clock that randomly changes time and I have to remember when that is? Garbage time.
The electricity in my area is iffy enough - I frequently get little instant blackouts - just long enough to shut down my computer and force me to reset every appliance clock - only to have it happen 3 days later.
I'm still trying to get used to the time change - and the dog of course thinks I'm an asshole (I am, don't tell her) for feeding her an hour late.

Babies and toddlers don't "do" time changes either. In the fall, when most people get an extra hour of sleep, parents of youngsters don't. But in the spring, when everyone else loses that hour, parents don't do that either. The kids slowly, slowly shift over to the new time.

Yeah, that's "leadership". A f***ing REFERENDUM in the middle of a shootin' war (well, a very limited war, almost nothing like it's being portrayed, but still).
And it's amusing to note that every Uke official statement uses the word "compromise". I'm fairly confident that the final agreement imposed on Ukraine by Russia will not include the requirement that everyone in Kiev wear their underwear on the outside. Or change the name of the country to Little Russia, and the name of Chicken Kiev to Chicken Orsk. But, um, apart from that, it will contain all the serious demands Moscow has made.

One of my very favorite atheist talking point goes like this: There is no God, but if there was a God, why would He care what we do? It's not like people care what ants do.
This talking point projects our limitations onto God. We all have limited focus and capacity to perceive. Part of the reason we don't pay attention to ants is we can only pay attention to one or two things at the same time. We also only typically care about a few people and possibly a few animals.
Even if we did care about some ants, we don't have the ability to perceive what's going on in their lives other than rudimentary observations about what they do with their time. Do ants feel anything about their world? I don't know. Does anyone know?
God cares about all His creations and is apparently able to pay attention to all things at once. The God of the Bible has told us He cares about us and cares about what we do.

I've had dogs and cats since the day I was born. And I have never had one critter than freaked out over DST. I mean are you home every single day of the year at the exact same time to feed them on the dot 365 days? I really doubt it. So I call bullshit on the very notion that your dogs or cats have a freakout because they're fed an hour later or earlier 2 times a year.

I think it was her twin sister, and as Elizabeth Montgomery played both parts, there wasn't any real debate of who was hottest.
BTW, she was hottest when she was playing the evil twin.

They say time passes, but what about when time moves into the leftmost traffic lane and refuses to pass at all? Is not time then a counterrevolutionary and a wrecker? And that brings to mind the next conundrum: How can the wreckers get up front and ahead of time to alleviate the bottleneck when time has negated the purpose of the passing lane by not passing?

My cat figured out that spring doorstops make a fantastic, loud sound if you thwang them. She also figured out that she could stick her paws under my closed bedroom door, grab the spring doorstop, and thwang it to wake me up.

And it's not just school kids that *want* to start with the Sun. When the sun isn't up until 8:30 you'll understand. That's what happened the last time e tried this. DST sucks. No DST sucks more.

It's crucial they do cutting edge personality assessments. Instinctive Drives for example.
It can really help you to see what you need to thrive or be happy in a career. And therefore what career is suited to your strongsuits.
Honest prep for an interview is important too.
People oftentimes have no idea how they sound to others.

Can't do that with my Lab. They are prolific eaters. Last week I came home and she had managed to get a full bag of dry dog food off of the kitchen counter, had it shredded all over my living room rug, with piles of vomit all over the place. They will eat until they get sick, and then eat some more.

Back in my military days there was a thing called ARFCOS...Armed Forces Courrier System, essentially escorts for classified materials being sent around the world. A friend of mine got that duty and had it for two years. He hated flying and the jet lag really messed him up. He lost about 20 lbs.

International Harvester did a study on shift work,
productivity, and accidents. At the time they had rotating shifts where workers would work one shift for a period of time and the all would move to another shift.
The intent was that no worker would have to work the night shift forever. The study determined that that system, though well intentioned, was a total detriment.
They also discovered that there are were an ample number of workers who were pleased with the night shift.

Um, no thank you. Longest day of the year, June 19, has "first light" in my area (SE Michigan) at 5:19am and sunrise at 5:52am. If that was Standard Time, first light would be 4:19am and sunrise at 4:52am. No freaking thank you.
Give me Daylight Saving Time year round.

It's worth repeating that we tried year-round daylight time during the Carter administration, as an "energy-saving" measure in reaction to the Arab oil crisis. Like so many of Pious Jimmy's ideas, it flopped and was quickly repealed. Let's not repeat Carter's mistake.
BTW, if we do repeal the time switch, we will have to update every computer in the country - indeed, in the world. We had to do it when Congress last change the law for DST back in 2005, and while the process *should* be straightforward, no doubt complications will crop up.

IFF you're in the right part of the time zone. Human circadian rhythm is most closely associated with the SUN. And when the sun is at noon CHANGES across a time zone - by as much as... an hour! Imagine that!
"disrupting that rhythm, as happens with daylight saving time, has been associated with increased risks of obesity, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and depression."
This is a stupid defense of standard time vs daylight savings time. It's the switching back and forth that disrupts, not the particular mode you set.
Why don't we breakup the monopoly time zones? Get clocks for people closer to what the sun is where they live?
You know why? GLOBALISM. That's the reason why. And Progressivism - as in humans are machines that can be switched about like clocks.
