Probably the only good thing he'd ever do, look forward to seeing how they fuck it up.

The EU parliament had a vote to abolish DST, and it passed. They just forgot to hammer out the details, then COVID and Ukraine happened, so focus shifted.

I hope they'll pick up the ball again at some point.

It’s weird how I watched VEEP last year and here it is coming true.

Great policy. Misogynistic, racists, liar will say anything for attention, tho.

If he doesn't, I'll shoot him myself. Canada will probably come up with some other shitty excuse once they can't say they do it for US trade any more though.

This has been bugging me of late so I'll ask here even though FTR I hate that I agree with Trump:

Why don't we just split the difference and offset by 30 min for the whole year/permanently?

Just adopt GMT and make time meaningless.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Nah, not GMT. UTC. It's the more accurate successor, and all computers already use it.

Not to mention, everyone will always know what time you are talking about anywhere in the world, and based on your own experience, you know if it will be during the day or not.

Timezones will no longer matter, making software handling time so much easier.

I understand what you mean, BUT I live in AZ and Im not going to have AZ be both 30 minutes ahead of Cali, 30 minutes behind Utah, and an hour and 30 behind New Mexico. No, you all either fall in line with how time is supposed to work or you can keep doing your shitty Daylight Savings bullshit

Because compromise makes neither side truly happy

We are already trying to compromise with switch back and forth.

30 minutes just makes it over complicated and satisfies neither side

I personally don't even care which one, I just want either of them and make it permanent.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Okay, I'll choose, keep the sun up later. Make the day last till at least 7 PM in the winter. That way I can still see it after work. I don't give a shit when I'm driving to work.
