    Ah, the confusing week comes to an end, where all meetings with the US are offset one hour to the rest of the world doing DST.

    Also, fuck DST.

      Also, fuck the US stubbornly refusing from adjusting to global conventions.

        Dude, we ALL want to stop this nonsense, but politicians lack balls. Some states are like “yea, we’ll stop DST if our neighbor does”. What kind of spineless nonsense is that?

        Indiana and Arizona are the only states with any guts - neither one does DST.

    Who has to remember? All my important devices do it automatically. I jsut have to set the stove, microwave, and car when I remember. The car is the only one that freaks me out twice per year - “Oh shit I’m early/late, oh wait, no, need to set the time” lol. I don’t even notice it except I got a little more or less sleep. heh

      Haven’t had a device I needed to manually set for many years. Stoves and microwaves don’t generally have clocks here, don’t see why they need it. Don’t have a car either. My wristwatch stopped the day my dad died so I just removed the battery and it’ll forever be like that.

      I don’t set the cooker or microwave, not least of which I don’t know how or care.

      The van, that I always have to think for a minute and remember how

      Hawai’i doesn’t do DST? Awesome. I thought it was just Indiana and Arizona. I’ll ass Hawai’i to my mental list.

    Hah, we don’t do that silly business here anymore! First year without changing the clocks.
