This year had better bring the rapid positive change we've been patiently waiting for. If we're still wishing and hoping a year from now, we've been played. I'm already not liking this H-1B visa talk from our supposed saviors.
There's also the issue that the point of high noon shifts by about half an hour throughout the year so there's no "God's" time almost anywhere where high noon is exactly at 12 PM. May as well select a more practical time that gives us more daylight during waking hours, aka DST.
And then those companies need to tell schools and kindergartens and doctors to start their day earlier. Or we can just shift the clocks forward for more daylight during waking hours and it happens automatically for everyone. You can just start your day later if you want dark evenings.
- Claims to work 120 hours a week and sleep in the factory.
- Is the top Diablo 4 player in the world.
He's lying about one of these things and it isn't his Diablo 4 prowess, that's public information.
I'm in Northern Europe, we get about 6 hours now and 18.5 in the summer, and I'd still prefer year-round DST. We tried permanent standard time for a few years and everyone complained about early summer sunsets so it was changed back to switching back and forth.
While winters are dark either way, DST would allow us to experience the full extent of precious twilight and daylight while awake and evenings after the workday would be lighter. Daylight before and during work hours is wasted anyway.
Nope, DST has more daylight during waking hours so it's the better option. There's no "actual" time where high noon is always exactly at 12 PM, it varies from east to west within the time zone and also shifts by about half an hour throughout the year. Since the whole concept is floaty and inaccurate anyway, we may as well shift it to where it's most useful to us.
Some say the passport just fell out of the sky.
