WanderingAries Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 For those that haven't seen, it appears that the US may finally get rid of this nonsense. https://www.unilad.co.uk/news/senate-passes-bill-to-make-daylight-savings-time-permanent-20220315?fbclid=IwAR17gXBTQQTIPWCbj51URdIeFkXacKvEpwGWO4CXqWrmpuG8Gk0x6w5xZSw OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> The City Representative (Info site for all servers) <||> Heroica!

DougGraves Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 People in Washington don't want to get rid of DST. We want it permanently. DST is the time during summer when it stays lighter later. We hate standard time in winter when it is dark before we leave work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderStych Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Don't hold your breath. Personally, I don't really care which one, just pick one. 🍻 We voted to stick to one in 2018 here in CA - still changing clocks twice a year like everyone else ~4 years later. "... I wanna hear the church bells ring, I wanna see the fog roll in; I don't mind the muddy water, I don't mind the ocean wind. Show me I'm alive right now, even if you gotta prick this skin ... Open up your eyes, open up your eyes, open up your eyes, OPEN UP YOUR EYES!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law says a state can choose not to go to DST but cannot choose to be on permanent DST. Allowing that requires a law being passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WanderingAries Posted March 17, 2022 Author Share Posted March 17, 2022 All I know is my beta testing brain knows how much "fun" this'll be for the tech world and TBH I really wouldn't mind being one of those drones like I was for Y2K. 😛 OG Server: Pinnacle <||> Current Primary Server: Torchbearer || Also found on the others if desired Installing CoX: Windows || MacOS || MacOS for M1 <||> Migrating Data from an Older Installation Clubs: Mid's Hero Designer || PC Builders || HC Wiki || Jerk Hackers Old Forums <||> Titan Network <||> The City Representative (Info site for all servers) <||> Heroica!

InvaderStych Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Interesting set of maps on the topic: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-19/maps-show-where-daylight-saving-leaves-cities-dark Turns out that the bill passed the Senate on a "No One Objected so it Passes without a Vote" rule. Also turns out that many Senators had no idea it was on the table and thus weren't even present to object. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/paulmcleod/daylight-saving-time-senate Hilarious. Yeah, definitely not holding my breath on this becoming a thing next year. "...

I read something that talked about how the actual days have changed so much over time that we're really already at the peak times it should be, but my thoughts are more on the tech aspect.
