Set your clocks forward 1 hour tonight if you live in the USA (except AZ & HI)

And there is no "extra daylight" at any time. If you want more daylight at the point before you go to bed just get up earlier. Seriously. You get that I hate "more daylight" out of I hate the clock changes?

There is exactly the same amount of daylight every day regardless of the accuracy of my clock. It is, and will be, regardless of what my clock says. That everybody has to get up earlier to make your "extra hour" during the "night" happen is just stupid.

BTW - I also hate "fall back"... I just hate this nonsense in its entirety.

actually there isn't. The amount of daylight you recieve each day at your latitude changes by about one minute per day.

Daylight Savings Time doesn't save shit... in the winter, days are shorter... changing by an hour can't change that astronomical fact and it never did.
It just fucks up the clocks and people's lives twice a year...

yea...I know...isn't it awesome to have that kind of power?

Exactly. Pick one and stick with it. I don't even care if they split the difference and change it all by 0.5 hours so long as it just stays. This "remember to set your clocks" crap is just messing with people's internal clocks for no reason.

oh they have their reasons Damo...they have their reasons.

They had an experiment back in the late sixties where they kept the clocks on British Summer Time all year round for 3 years but the fucking Jocks never stopped complaining so we are stuck with the present system!!
