Daylight Saving Time
 

Just a gentle reminder to fall back 1 hour, at 2 a.m, tomorrow morning, unless you live in Arizona or Hawaii.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Chiefsplanet broadcast.

Isn't this more of a friendly reminder, rather than a gentle reminder?

Friendly reminder -- for the benefit of the remindee

Gentle reminder -- for the benefit of the reminder, but you're not busting any ones balls over it, yet.

Stupid, useless, outdated concept.

Gentle - Agree with your assesment.

Friendly - Would imply friendship, and that I like everyone here.

Yeah, ... it's a gentle reminder. :D

One extra hour of weekend.

You don't have to like the rules but you do have to play by them. :p

Yes. I still have yet to hear a good reason as to why we still have this stupid shit. Just leave the clocks alone, and let it stay lighter later.

Stupid.

Egg-Zactly!

Umm...

And let the little, defenseless, children walk to the bus stop in the dark?

For shame!

Well, minus tonight, where we get an extra hour to drink or sleep, or in SR's case, an extra hour to beat it up proper.

I have yet to hear a good reason why we ever started doing it to begin with.

Pretty much. The good news is, I dont have any clocks that I have to set. :thumb:

just one more hour of work for the midnight-over-the-weekend-low-level employees

THE FARMERS!

Yeah, but if you **** something up between 1am and 2, you get a do-over!

dude, i never thought of it like that before

fall- fall back

Spring- spring forward

that's how I remember it anyway

my puter reset it sewlf last week end
(not a new machine) AND i LIVE IN AZ ANYWAY


YEAH i KNOW aBOUT THE SETTING
jutst figured the guy I bought it from would have it set right

So does that mean the game comes on at 11 instead of 10 tomorrow here in AZ?

Not a fan. Another year, another pointless time change.

I took a nap, ate well, took a tylenol and drank water.

I am fine.


Will do the same thing when I travel between time zones!

I hear so many people bitch about Daylights Savings Time and it makes me so happy I don’t live my life on such a routine schedule that a simple one hour change twice a year throws my whole world into chaos. Most of the time I don’t even realize it happened until a few days later now that all my clocks automatically update. I personally love the feeling of Daylight Savings in the spring. Later sunsets just gives me the feeling that warmer longer days are here.

I’m pissed that there is one fewer hour to jack off today!!!

I know, barely enough time to punch myself in the face afterwards.

9am sports are back! PBJ

That's why you gotta live for today.

"Routine" it must be nice to never have to do anything by a certain time.

Another perk of living in Arizona, no changing of time.

Yeah, **** all those people who have day jobs and kids and shit!

CONSERVE.

Moar lighty me likey

Keep it here. Keep it lighter, later. **** going back to DST.

Yeah, it sucks for your body clock to get used to it. I'll gladly take the extra hour of light after work, though.

Yeah, if they’re gonna change it keep it this way. I have no problem going to work in the dark but want to be able to do shit afterwards.

I've bitched about this stupid shit all my life. Everybody hates it. The problem is it really annoys people for two or three days, and then they forget about it until it really annoys them for two or three days six months later.

I don't even care which one they pick - hell, they could compromise and permanently put it right in the middle for all I care. JUST PICK ONE AND STICK WITH IT.

Pussies that complain about change DST and back and the same pussies that think they need 4 days during the NCAA tourney to recover from a vasectomy.

The next day I drove an hour and a half and rode on a boat. Lifted a few things and was fine,

Taught 6 weeks on a knee scooter after heel spur surgery and went back to teaching 3 weeks after knee replacement.

Get off your asses. It is one hour. The same change when you travel.

Oh wait, the earth is flat and there should be one time zone.

I like that it gets dark later but why not always make it get dark later. No more spring forward. Just stay at whatever this time is now.

Its a great and honored tradition to celebrate the time changes

We can definitely tell from this thread who the ****ing morning people are. :grr:

I have to be online by 8am Eastern, so the winter months are pretty perfect in terms of being online by 6am in Arizona and done by ~2:30-3, but rolling back to 5am in the summer just isn't ****ing natural.

Granted, being at the gym at like 2 in the afternoon is nice.

I'd play golf every damn day.

Looks like the time change makes some people cranky.

Just needed a "get off my lawn!" rant!

AND GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my asshole neighbor renting out his trailer....whilst on my yard. **** him.
Attachment 1

Breakfast around 6-6:30 after being online for an hour or two. Sun rises at almost 10am work time.

Lunch around 10am MST when everyone else is getting back from lunch at 1 EDT.

Carby snacks before the gym at 2.

Dinner at 5.

In bed by 9.

....if I was retired, I'd be killing it. LMAO

Trailers sell for less with flat tires

LOL. Who would have thought some bullcrap Roosevelt's people dreamed up in the 40's would still be foisted on the public 80+ years later. Americans are gullible.

I love the hour of daylight being pushed late, but I'd be lying if I didn't move slower this morning.

We need less DST like it used to be

Nah
Retires get up at noon

**** around drinking coffee, surfing the internet till 2:00 pm

Errands until 3:00 pm

Projects until 5:00 pm

Dinner 6:00 pm

Video games 7:00

Watch TV/Movie 8:00 pm

Surf the internet/Play video games 11:00 pm

Watch WWII documentary midnight

Fall asleep 12:05 in Lazy Boy

Go to bed at 2:00 AM

It hasn't had as much impact on me this year as it normally does.

I still wish they'd just stick to a time and leave it be.

You must be really worried about the Nazis.

Well....there's been a lot of new activity on that front lately.

Talking to a teacher today---she said some HS kids had no idea there was DST. When they woke up, the clock was changed. and they started their day.

Kids use the phone for everything. So if it said 12:30 to get up, it was time to get up.
nothing was really different.

They need stick to this time. No reason it should be getting dark at 4:30 in the winter. ****ing miserable.

Thank Congress, the bill passed the Senate and then the House won't vote on it. This was three years ago.

What I can't stand about DST is having hear people bitch about it.

This change messed with me for whatever reason more than ever, pretty groggy and out of sorts for a couple days

But between all of the extra sunlight, and these ultra rare early March temps in the 60s-70s I'm good with it, lets get this early and warm spring underway asap

Probably wouldn't be me unless my natural wake up time shifts back to when I was ~15-25yo.

I normally get up around ~7-7:30 at the latest now... didn't go to bed until almost 1:30 Friday night and was still up before 8.

Hate this shit. It has my kids all screwed up. End it already.

Next up: Why does the sky have to be blue? I hate blue. Why not red? Maybe a burnt umber?

I love this time change. I'm not a early riser and I love the long afternoons where I play golf till sunset. Love it!

Heard Trump is trying to change it...discuss.....

This article has a table to enter you zip and see the earliest, average and latest sunrise and sunset times in your area in 2023

What’s that like? My inner clock goes off no later than 530 am. In the very off chance I can actually sleep past that, my dogs alarm is about 545 am.

Makes it rough during our yearly Jamaica trip. Cuz it’s 430 am there. So I usually just get up, shower, and go sit on my balcony and start drinking, and burning the herbs. Then when my wife’s inner alarm goes off at 930 I’m already kinda lit. So usually around 2 pm I’m blasted and need a nap to make the second half of the day possible. And she’s like “how are you so much drunker than me?” Cuz I’ve been up drinking for 4-5 hours before you wake up.

Without Daylight Saving Time (DST), the Greater Kansas City, MO area would experience a shift in sunrise and sunset times. During the summer months, the sun would rise earlier and set earlier by about an hour compared to what it is with DST. This means that mornings would start earlier, and evenings would end earlier, with daylight potentially being available earlier and ending earlier.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Summer:
Sunrises would occur in the 4 a.m. hour instead of the 5 a.m. hour, and sunsets would be in the 7 p.m. hour instead of the 8 p.m. hour.

Winter:
The difference in sunrise and sunset times would be less pronounced compared to the summer.

Overall:
The total amount of daylight per day would remain the same, but the timing of sunrise and sunset would be shifted.

Merica!

I don't really care either way. Over the years I have just grown used to spring forward fall back. I really don't lose any sleep over it. I sleep when I am tired and wake at 5:30 am, routine!

and drink water and take a nap if you are tired. It is not really that big of a deal

Heard on local radio the other day, they called it something, not a power nap. Can't remember, but anyway...

They say to drink a cup of coffee 10 minutes before a nap. That way when you wake up, the caffeine is just hitting, so it makes you feel more rested.

Take that as you will.

Between the office, house and cars, I have to change ~10 clocks. SUCKS. The cars are the worst...each one is different on how to change the time and I can never remember.

Pick a time and stick with it. I would prefer more night daylight time though.

Stick with how we have more light later. Stop changing the clocks.

But that also means that some places do not get sunrise until 8:20am in December

As dad said in 1974-There is no ****ing reason why it should be dark at 8am.

This is where I'm at with it.
