Daylight Saving Time 2019
|
Hi, Jaguars fans!
![]() We move our clocks one hour ahead on Sunday, hence, Spring Forward, Fall Back. We will all gain one hour of daylight beginning on Sunday, but at the same time lose one hour of sleep. Also sunrise will initially occur one hour later in the morning, and sunset, twilight, and darkness will occur one hour later, because of the next DST. This cycle of DST will last in the next eight months until the first Sunday of November, November 3. We will physically and overcome the 'early' hours come Monday Morning as we get ready for school or work. But we should adjust the next DST in a few days next week. ![]() https://www.timeanddate.com/time/change/usa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daylight_s...ted_States We show less advertisements to registered users.

I hate people like you ... all happy, and peppy all the time. I hate DST with a passion, and if you don't share the loathe of DST with me, we will take this matter over to the political board ... where I will apologize.

You kids. In my day, we didn't have Daylight Savings Time. We had to spend all of our daylight and we learned to like it. And we had to walk to school. In the snow. Uphill. Both ways.
Get off my lawn dagnabbit.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

I literally just got used to the time change from fall. But I've also been recovering from major abdominal surgery since September so everything has been kind of off kilter for me.
Bowel resection is no joke. It'll jack you up, especially when you're not expecting it.

I had mine spliced a few years ago, worst Thanksgiving weekend ever. Got me a nice 8 inch scar up my mid-section though, the chicks are really grossed out by it (or by me, whatever). Surgeon did a good job leaving my navel intact though, so I got that going for me. I hope you feel better soon. Be sure to do those stretches so your scar doesn't tighten up and leave you stooped over! “An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers.”. - Plato

Seems spot on to me but OK.

More like retail saving time. I need that hour of sleep. And I refuse to give it up without pay. Its complete nonsense in the name of consumerism.

DST isn't about having more daylight in absolute terms, it's about shifting factory hours to be more inline with daylight hours the idea being that would increase productivity. There's plenty of evidence that says productivity doesn't work that way and there are plenty of reasons to get rid of DST but a tired old "quote" from some mythical Native American isn't one of them.

Having lived in Boston and now in NYC. It makes total sense up here. Doesn't make much sense in Florida though.
Florida passed a state resolution for year-round DST (basically being on a different time zone than EST), but US Congress has not approved it. https://www.mprnews.org/story/2018/03/09...year-round https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/pol...story.html (03-08-2019, 03:45 PM)DragonFury Wrote: DST isn't about having more daylight in absolute terms, it's about shifting factory hours to be more inline with daylight hours the idea being that would increase productivity.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. Now you can spend the next 10 minutes explaining why your panties don't bunch, they stretch.
