Yeah few people seem to know that we went off of DST in the 70s and reversed ourselves within a year.
The vast majority of people who are against it aren’t thinking about the effects on half the year, they’re thinking only about not having to change clocks twice a year, as if everything else stays the same.
Of course for southern states it wouldn’t matter too much. But in the north, especially on the western edge of time zones, it would be a big deal.
I had my Covid and flu shot at the same time when I visited Duke early last month
Apparently it is pork.
Turns out the car changed itself.
Alarm clock is a simple button for DST on/off.
Three appliances- stove, microwave, coffeemaker.
Took less than 1m in total.
I still don’t get all the fuss this issue brings.
Yeah I always assumed it was rib meat. Also never tried one.
Oh no! Take care of yourselves!
Im sure its up to 4%. In other words if you put aside some number 4% or less of your salary, they’ll match it dollar for dollar.

I’d like to know what she was thinking. It’s not like that s was a good move for any political future at all. Won’t help her in the Democratic Party obviously but it’s not like it’ll help her in the gop either beyond Tuesday.
Usually the losing candidate offers perfunctory support and maybe votes against them in private as a tiny protest if it’s psychologically necessary.
But this I truly don’t get.
… and go stay somewhere else.
That was always my plan. The problem is when there’s a huge power outage everyone else has that plan and the nearby hotels fill up.
Once I spent a week hopping between hotels every night or two for a week. You’d believe the reports that power will be restored tomorrow, then when it isn’t, and you call to extend, they say no because the room has been rented out. So I find another hotel. Then the same thing happens again.
The next month I bought the generator.
Here if it happens it’s usually heavy rainstorms with lots of wind and/or lightning, more likely in the spring or summer. Branches or trees fall into power lines. The problem is it happens in dozens or hundreds of spots around the area at the same time so it can take crews a while to get to them all.
Mostly appliances and my car.
I have an alarm clock in my bedroom but it has a DST ON/OFF switch in the back so I only need to change the switch.
Having said that, it’s sufficiently inaccurate that after six months the time has drifted enough to need fixing so I’ll do that too.

Out of curiosity I looked up Gene Shalit. He died in June at age 100!
