Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
I tried it for a while. There are only so many pictures of ducks and geese you can take, the eagles were elusive, and 10,000 landscapes...
Also, music was on the back burner because our drummer had issues with his hip and knee. So I got a day job. Of course, now the drummer is ready to go...

One thing I would suggest, create a partition as a 50G partition as /. Partition the rest as /Home. IF the system fails, reinstall and use the exact same username and all your 'stuff' comes back to you.

Do you use those candles only for one hour?
Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
You're correct. DST doesn't give us more time per day, but it does shift the daylight to a later time in the day so that there's more light in the evening (I'm in the USA).karlchen wrote: ⤴Sat Mar 10, 2018 7:49 am A day has got 24 hours, no more, no less. There is no way of tweaking this number. So DST does not give us more time per day.
DST was invented at a time when oil started to get expensive. Way back in the 70th of the previous century. It was meant to help us save energy.
This has never worked out anywhere. Missed its goal.
But causes a lot of hassle whenever the clocks have to be turned back by one hour in autumn or turned forward in spring.
Get rid of this foolish nonsense as soon as possible.
But, I agree, stop the madness!

Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
Several states in the USA are putting a stop that nonsense.
Here in Oklahoma, the legislature is voting on it now.
pure nonsense, IMO.... but now that I am retired, it just don't matter anymore..... I quite frequently don't go to bed until the sun starts lighting up the eastern sky
then I get up about noon around the time the forums are starting to wake up again.

Not here We use them for a few hours.
Especially if you live near Boston after the last 3 weeks!

It doesn't really affect me in a noticeable way. My wife however, swear it's the reason for her being late. And she leans on that until the next time change. S
Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
An extra hour in bed could well result in her being late.

65% says do away with it. That's a clear majority. Now who do we call to get it done?

Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
That's a good question. They've been talking about it here (US) since I was a kid.
I'm not gonna say how long that's been, but I can tell you, trying to get people together on this is like trying to herd cats...

Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
It's the same with the calendar. There's a replacement for our current one. Forgot the name but it switches to 13 months of 28 days each, so that 1st of every month is on the same day of the week. Not just from one month to the next, but from one year to the next. It calls for 2 special days which wouldn't fall on a day of the week or in a month but are extra: new year's day and leap day.

It's great, but I hate the changes, it upsets me a lot. I could do without it, was born in a world without daylight savings.

By the way: our months are essentially a weird amalgamate: the irrational Roman month count after the reform by Julius Caesar. The month whose name means "7th month" (september) is the 9th, the name meaning 8th month (october) is the 10th, and likewise with november and december. All because two leap months (now July and August) were added in the middle....
And how about the names of the week days: German Gods in countries with a germanic language, and Roman Gods in countries with a latin derivative as language.... Somehow the Christianization never succeeded (or bothered) to change that.

Re: Daylight Savings Time, Like it or Hate it?
Interesting. I didn't know there were two months added. But your explanation of the names makes sense. I never realized it though. But I also got confused that some countries start their week with Monday and others with Sunday. Well, I guess that happens when humans try to press nature into number systems ^^Pjotr wrote: ⤴Thu Apr 12, 2018 4:56 pm By the way: our months are essentially a weird amalgamate: the irrational Roman month count after the reform by Julius Caesar.
