@jack_daniel Even worse here, solar noon is about 1:45pm today :blob_pensive: we should #AbolishDST and #FallBackForever
-
Of course our dense-as-a-fruitcake premier thinks staying on DST would be a good idea when it makes far more sense to #AbolishDST in Alberta especially since that would put us "in sync" with the west coast all year now in addition to being better for our health.
I guess we better get going on a #FallBackForever campaign to do our best to make it done right!

@Pkbwood IIRC all the states on the pacific coast are trying to go full time PDT too.
Considering this and the fact Saskatchewan never adopted DST Alberta will be the odd duck in this situation. I think with this in mind Alberta should ABOLISH daylight savings time completely for several reasons:
* and MST == PDT so it would put us in sync with a larger population base and economic zone than Saskatchewan is
* Solar Noon in both Calgary and Edmonton is already significantly later than MST noon all year round and being on DST would make is even MORE off kilter. This is especially jarring in the winter as the sun would rise excessively late (almost 10AM before we would get daylight!)
* standard time is a social construct anyways so if businesses insist the myth about DST being better for them they can adjust their operating hours to suit them best anyways.

Finally done adjusting the clocks that do not adjust themselves. Apparently there is an app for my microwave, and I have installed it today, after using my microwave for 16 months without it, hoping that besides the "smart diagnostics" it would also let me adjust the clock (or even align it with my phone's clock or an NTP server). No, I still had to plug out the microwave and plug it in again to get to the clock settings. How very smart! (The other 2 are mechanical wall clocks.) Time to abolish the DST already!

So for the next week.... my meetings with North America will be 1 hour earlier? And then revert to what they were before?
DST is a menace. Abolish DST!

Good morning,
Europe is in DST now too. The perfect time for me then to once again complain about this dumb idea and to demand to #abolishDST!

I've been waking early of late. Part of the cause is likely the mornings getting lighter.
Now, whilst the UK's shift to DST (30th March) will partially reverse that, this will not be a good thing, because it just means I'll go through the same thing *again* when morning light levels have shifted by another hour.
And I know I'll struggle for a few days to a week with the "one hour less sleep" due to the change.
Abolish DST ! The switching is more of a problem than any benefit from, in effect, shifting business hours!
-
@theresmiling One year I managed to "opt out" of it by waking up an hour earlier (actually the same time) during the all-too-brief Standard Time period.
It worked out pretty well that time, but I rarely have that level of regularity in my sleep schedule.
It is 100% time to #abolishdst

The US began daylight saving time (DST) yesterday.
Europe does not start DST until March 30.
So begins the 3 weeks of recurring meeting calendar collisions for teams spread across the US and EU who didn’t pin the meetings to UTC.
-
Timely reminder when communicating time zones:
The US east coast is now on EDT (Eastern Daylight Time)—not EST (Eastern Standard Time).
Use EDT when you mean NYC time—until it falls back to EST on November 2.
Several countries (Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru) and parts of countries (Mexico, Brasil) are always on EST because they do not observe daylight saving time.

but moooooommm.. I don’t want to set my clocks back.. it’s #stupid. #DST #abolishDST
-
Just a (dumb) reminder that tonight is the ~first~ no, WORST day of fall. DST is dumb. #abolishdst
-
I am not the biggest fan of autumn and winter. But one thing I love about this time of year is the changing back to normal or standard time.
Don't you dare call it winter time.

For the first time in years and years--decades? maybe--I do not have to shift my circadian schedule in November.* I'm so thankful I was able to work out with my boss that I can change the label of the time, but not the actual time, that I come into work. If that makes sense. #DST #DaylightSavingTime #AbolishDST
*originally said Oct., but the switch is Nov. 5

Cue some rando reply guy justifying year round DST by saying, “I prefer when the sun on Midsommar rises at 3:32 am instead of 2:32 am.”

The EU voted to abolish daylight saving time in 2019. However, we continue this stupid practice because some states want to stay on DST year round, while others want to stay on standard time year round.
The correct answer is standard time year round because:
1. Time is an illusion. Let’s keep it simple.
2. Science says morning light is better for your health. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/03/11/1162345477/changing-our-clocks-is-a-health-hazard-just-ask-a-sleep-doctor

JFC, I'm so stupid this morning, I forgot to even turn on the kettle to start boiling water for tea. 😩
Maybe I should go for coffee.
Anyway, #DaylightSavingTime is a complete asshole, and I wish this crap would stop. #AbolishDST #DSTMustDie

Health Experts and Folks Like That: One way to adapt to the DST spring-forward time change is to go to bed earlier.
Me, at 11:00 Last Night: I'm going to bed early.
Me, at 9:00 This Morning: I got 9 hours of sleep. Why do I feel like someone dropped a ton of bricks on me? 😩

OMG, Daylight Saving Time is just so fucking Evil. I can't even. 😩☹
