      We are currently on DST. Standard is what we are moving to this weekend. Many states are passing laws to make DST (summer time) permanent. But federally it’s not legal yet so only if it becomes legal federally then we can stop changing the clock. There was a bill passed in the Senate at the beginning of this year called Sunshine Protection Act. But it has yet to be put on the house floor. And it probably never will since the house is a shit show right now

        I don’t even gaf. Whichever way. I can get used to it. Just split the difference and shift a half hour and leave it. I just want to quit changing twice a year.

    Anyone remember when the US Senate decided to let DST be on all year and it passed, then the House fucked it up because they are stupid dumb fuckers thinking they had more important things to do and did nothing note worthy? I remember… I am so sick of moving the clock, especially in spring… it hurts.

    It is indeed unattainable!

    Mainframes, cics, and old software makes for the traditional maintenance window.

    To me it just means a week of getting up and getting hungry one hour too early. My body hates daylight saving.

      Daylight savings time ends for the season this weekend as we’re switching back to “Standard” time.

      Switching in general sucks terribly though. I agree with you there.

        Yeah I meant switching back and forth between ST and DST. We almost got rid of it in the EU! Then COVID came so we had more pressing matters I guess.
