Is it time to end Daylight Saving Time?

[MechAg94]

For me, it is awake at 0430, which is when I used to get up and get ready for work.

If I go to bed at a decent hour, I often will wake up before my alarm, but I tend to not do that. 

[Cliffh]

Pick one, any one, I don't care which.  Just pick one and stay with it.

I would prefer it not be light at 2130, but I could live with it.

I enjoyed being always standard time in AZ.  Would really like to that schedule again.

The transitions cause some interesting software problems, especially the "fall back".  When you log something between 01:00 and 02:00 which time was it, the first or second?  It can cause sequence errors, duplicate entries, or missing entries when one event overwrite another because they happen to fall on the same second/millisecond or whatever granularity.

I used to be a real night owl, meaning I'd get up way late.

Then I got a job in DC and started commuting with Castle Key, which meant I had to conform to his schedule, which had me getting up around 4 a.m. or so.

The first couple of months I thought I was going to die. Then, slowly, I got used to it. The last couple of years I've settled into getting up at 5 a.m.

And, I've pretty much gotten comfortable with that and have really settled into it.

So did everyone adjust back to the "fall back" of DST?

[K Frame]

For me fall back isn't really hard. It's a bit disorienting the first few days when I look outside, it's dark, then look at the clock and it's 5 p.m.

Spring forward, though? Jesus Christ, that's absolute torture. It takes me anywhere from a week to a month to adjust to the spring forward bullshit.

I absolutely hate it.

So one vote for ending Daylight Saving Time.

I don't care what they keep.  Hell, switch it up so noon is midnight, just stop with the biannual switcharoo.

Same.

You're never going to satisfy everyone, so piss 'em all off by splitting the difference. Adjust by 30 minutes and lock it down.

That would likely end up being the "it's not great, but everybody would be okay with it" move. However, I seem to remember reading that it would be a big pain in the ass with certain technology.

India took their original 2 time zones and condensed to one, splitting the difference.   So with us on standard time now India is 13.5 hours ahead of the west coast.

You're never going to make every one happy no matter you do so just pick one and stick with it.

Trump says he’ll end daylight saving time: Here are the winners and losers if he does - https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-says-ll-end-daylight-155432689.html

Trump wrote on Truth Social:

“The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! ... Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation.”

- Introduced as an energy-saving measure ... studies have cast doubt
- Elon Musk ... Vivek Ramaswamy ... want to target the practice as ... Department of Government Efficiency.
- It’s unclear if Trump ... favors making daylight saving time permanent ... more light in the afternoon - or keeping the country on standard time ... more morning light.
- In 2022 ... Marco Rubio ... cosponsored the Sunshine Protection Act, a now-stalled bipartisan bill that would have made daylight saving time permanent ... most health experts have the opposite preference.
- The end of clock-shifting ... would deliver real economic fallout for certain industries

If the Rubio version of the plan to keep the country on daylight saving time goes forward, here are the winners and losers:

Winners: Tourism, Retail, Stock market
Losers: Your health, Morning commuters

So one vote for ending Daylight Saving Time.

Oh, that is RICH !! 

[erik the bold]

I say, stay on DST.  I love having it be light until 9:00pm

Standard is better. Otherwise in the winter it won't get light out until almost 9am here.  Id rather have it dark at 4:30pm than 5:30pm if it means it's getting light out by 7:30am instead of 8:30am.

[HeroHog]

I don't care which, just decide on ONE and move on!

For me fall back isn't really hard.
