**** daylight savings

[RING4CY]

It's a no-win situation really. Standard or savings time, neither is going to change only getting nine hours of daylight in late December.

So, let's be serious for a moment.
How is this going to effect the Rose Bowl Kickoff?

Compromise: change it by 30 minutes and call it good.

I had this same thought, but as a software developer I immediately died a little inside

Better compromise. Get rid of DST and timezones all together. Use GMT and adjust your schedule to when it’s daytime in your area. This notion of everyone works from 8:00 to 5:00 is outdated. If it’s light out from 1:00 PM to 1:00 AM, well that’s your daytime now.

Of cours, I think we all need to know what Patrick Mahomes and LeBron James thinks of Daylight Savings Time.

Even getting rid of DST is a bit of a hassle, but I guess probably not more so than a few years ago when they changed the DST start and end times. If they allow states to opt out its going to be a bigger mess.

As a software developer what I really want to get rid of are leap seconds. They are truly the devil and the next one will probably be negative so it is even worse. Scrap them and let people a few hundred thousand years from now add an extra leap day (or skip one) if they want to get things back in sync.

Really with global warming the whole system needs inverted. In the summer you needed to start getting up earlier to avoid the heat of day outside and get going. And in the winter they won't be as harsh so you can just go outside later after work.
