    Winter = not DST Summer = DST, DST is setting the clocks forward in the Summertime so it stays light past 9:30PM.

    Permanent DST means a bit more light in the wintertime and fall evenings, summer stays the same.

    Permanent Standard Time means even the "longest days" of Summer get dark at about 8 - 8:30pm, we would permanently be on the winter schedule.

    A point of confusion around a lot of the population - just if anyone wasn't clear.

    I've followed this thread for over three pages. I'm trying to keep up. I'm having a hard time though. I agree changing the clocks is stupid. An attempt by enlightened men of science to exert control over nature and we are suffering their hubris. It seems like it's dark most mornings when I get up. Regardless of the time of year or whatever time scheme I'm on. On a project up in North Dakota there was a lot of sunlight. We could put in 14 hour days with no problem. Unless you can change axial tilt that is probably the most sound way to get more hours out of the day.

    I liked the weather chick saying.. We're in for a cool down this week. The temps will drop from 113 down to 110. Only in the valley.

    Any idea pushed by Little Marco is bound to be stupid--just like this Senate action.

    Shhh... Don't bring up more things for Congress to fuck up.

    I'm sure they would love to spend a few billion on an exploratory committee of some sort to investigate doing just that.

    After all, equal sunlight for all would be a great re-election issue.

    If DST had never existed, I can't imagine anyone here thinking someone proposing to institute it now was anything less than severely mentally ill.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
