Daylight savings.

The time change has screwed me up again. Now when the time on PKF says 7:35 it is 8:45 here. I wish they would just drop the whole thing.

Yeah. I hate time change.

No way man - live somewhere without it and it sucks arse ... sun comes up at like 4am and sets at 8? Lame :no:

Just change your time zone in your profile to the 1 to the east of you.

In the morning? :crazy: daylight saving would make it 5am to 9pm - much more palatable :yes:

I say leave it on the summer time and forget it. dark at 9 in the summer and 6 in the winter. I hate when it gets dark at 5 in the winter. Funny how Arizona said screw it and leaves it alone :wee:

You know what shocks me even more than the fact that it exists at all? The fact that THEY CHANGED IT in 2007! Sometimes I wonder why they can't just leave crap alone :lol:

Some government funded study concluded that it would be better for the environment to do so BUT reserved the right to revert back if they decide it was better how it was. (Not telling you which government it was that made that line in the fine print ; )

Indiana didn't use it for years and then switched (in the last decade or two) to using it. To the best of my knowledge, it never appeared to produce any statistical improvement.

Correction/addendum, Indiana has gone all over the place with following/not following since the inception of DST.

I'm with Dino. Set it to summer and leave it alone.

Me too I like Xcountry skiing in the dark after work.
