Daylight Savings Time

*Raph's Girl* · 10-31-2009, 04:59 PM

Reminder to everyone in the U.S except for those in Hawaii and parts of Arizona (cuz some parts do it on the reservations) to set yer clocks back an hour tonight for daylight savings time. Yay...an extra hour of sleep.

*Sewer Bull* · 10-31-2009, 05:39 PM

I'm pretty sure everyone would be reminded by their computers automatically adjusting to DST, anyway.

I find the whole concept of DST to be highly ridiculous. It doesn't save anything anymore and it only causes problems twice a year.

Sweden did this last week.

*Candy Kappa* · 11-01-2009, 05:48 AM

Here in Norway we get more day light due to this, since winter is at hand

SwordofTengu · 11-01-2009, 02:28 PM

I totally forgot! I'm going to need to set my Wii's clock back one hour!

*Andrew NDB* · 11-01-2009, 02:57 PM

Thank god.

Amen to that.

It's like an annual tradition for me, and I'm always resetting my watch so it syncs up with the time on Comcast.

Agreed. It gets dark at 5:30 now? To hell with that.

Although it was a nice excuse for staying out/sleeping in an extra hour on Halloween.

It makes it easier to get up in the morning during winter, which is hard enough to do since it's cold as teets.

*Voltron* · 11-01-2009, 07:13 PM

It does? We fall back an hour so it's even darker and colder in the mornings. That's not a very enjoyable thing to get up to IMO. I think we should just wake up at noon, eat, then sleep until noon again; this should be repeated until mid-April.

I don't know where you live, but yesterdays clock change here made it bright earlier, and dark earlier.

Sweden begun with "summer time" already back in 1980 (April-September). Then it was March-September and from 1996 March-October.

*Katie* · 11-02-2009, 06:59 PM

again with the random trivia

I like the fall time change because I wake up easier until it is dark in the mornings again. But I do agree that the whole thing is a little rediculous in modern times.

Here in Finland it's also from the end of March to the end of October. Well, big surprise since we're neighbours and at the same timezone and stuff

We did set our clocks already at the last Sunday of October... Now it'll be bright earlier but also it gets dark earlier

Now it's like when it's about 5.00 pm, it's almost dark

Finland is one hour before Sweden.

Well but something like that, hopefully you got my point

There are too many Scandinavians on this forum.

If you have a problem with DST you should go to a place south of the equator. We don't have to correct the time here where i live except when a power failure occurs.
