Well, I certainly messed up bigly!

[TomH]

Warning after warning this week, "change your clock, saturday night!"

I live on the edge, most of my clocks are still using yesterdays time!


Well crap! You just can't help some people, ya know!

 

[TomH]

BTW: changing clocks twice a year is certainly one of the top 5 stupid things people do!

I get it, years ago, it made a difference. It's not years ago anymore! Let's move on and try something new like not messing with everyone's internal clock twice a year!

 

[moe.red]

I agree, it's dum. But what did you mess up? Late for your Sunday AM dentist appt?

 

[MDK]

Light schedule get thrown off?

nope, just sitting here enjoying a little dane-brammage this morning.
It just cracks me up, the major media makes it seem critical to set clocks before going to bed, I've never been good with being told to do something. I usually figure out ways to be stubborn (I know, who'd have thought that?)

How? My timer did not recognize DLS. I keep it locked up in secret room and it thinks it is in South America, since I kept it blacked out in a box until we got in the room and I closed the door. I kind of innuendoed we would be going somewhere near the Orinco river when we first met.
I will adjust my timer though and drop 1 hour out of lights on as I am on last week flowering.

We were worried they were not going to fall back here.
Dark at 7 am and only getting worse.
I don't mind the darkness, but not working outside in the winter with sunrise at 8:20.

 

[SiamSam]

Time Time Time is on my side, yes it is. We aren't falling back here at all, not too many 'civilized' countries try to confuse their entire populace twice a year.

Wont affect mechanical timers.

12hours is 12 hours.

Unless my timer was fucked to be begin with

I never really understood what was going on back then to warrant having to ridiculously move your clock back and forth. If the sun came up earlier or set later once the seasons were gone through didn't they realize it would just come back to the same thing later on?

the explanation that makes sense to me is to assist farmers at harvest (weak argument) and children that needed to walk to school (a little better), but ... maybe those were just made up excuses to maintain a moronic policy!

Im pretty sure the whole "Daylight savings" is just a gag lol, I think Arizona doesnt even follow the practice anymore. Considering ignoring it and basing my time zone off of my grow room light timer XD.

 

[steamroller]

I would not want my child walking or waiting for a bus in complete darkness.
Up here in NY it is dark still at 7 am before fall back. By 12/21 the sun will be rising at 7:34 which would have been 8:34 if they did not switch back.
I don't care it is dark at 4:30 and the kids should all be home by then so.
Why we still switch in spring is beyond me.
I would love to see the sun at 4:30 in the summer. I could be done working at 12:30~!

 

[Zen_seeker]

I think it had to do with the trains crossing the country.

Adam Ruins Everything covered it once. It’s not farming like everyone used to say.

I’d have to go look it up for sure c

So they couldn't just say "Suns coming up later. School starts at 8:30 instead of 7:30?

And besides changing you're schedule you want them on/the hour (s)

My timer is wifi...and I'm in flower so my ladies ended up with 13 hours of dark last night. When you spring forward though your plants will only get 11 hours of dark on that 1 night then it goes back to normal. This is where mechanical timers win

Odd things that we do with time:
Russia covers 13 time zones, China covers about 6 or 7, but all of china is on the same timezone.
India and Pakistan dislike each other so much they invented a 30 minute time zone so they don't have to share the same hands on the clock.
In the last millenium, before we were enlightened (LOL), Europe and the US changed their times a week apart (that caused significant issues for Network operating systems which are time and nonce sensitive, as well as switches and routers which also use time in many critical ways. Yes, we dealt with it, but shouldn't have to!

It was adopted in 1920ish to help save energy during war time.
It has NOTHING to do with the "farmers" like people think it does.
It was all about trying to save energy and now its stooooopid.

All the theories are actually incorrect.

In the early part of the 20th century, we humans wanted to impress the rest of the universe with our ability to alter time.
Try as we might, we couldn't do it, but by a simple backwards spin of the watch stem, presto! We were an hour ahead (or behind), certain that the rest of the universe noticed and were duly surprised, we went a step further and decided that we could build a doomsday clock with which to predict when we're going to destroy ourselves. We move those seconds around like a lid at a pink floyd concert!

One hour either way for one day will not make or break anything.
You look solid for week 7 man~!

the Bro-sci manual states, with no uncertainties, an additional hour of light on the first sunday in November will increase terpenes by 45%

The real fun is yet to come, though! Seconds since Enoch are running out for the 32bit registers. The year 2038 problem is gonna fuck everything.

I lived through one* of those kinda things when I was flying to singapore on 9/9/99. A little different, but certainly had the opportunity to screw up the flying world.

I was a Y2K support guy. Could have been an issue but never heard of anything actually happening. But critical things god resolved first.

Exactly, I was doing the same with Seagate at the time, Y2K consumed literally 2.5 years of time for many (hundreds) of people across all departments.

The fact that Y2K was a dud was because people in companies all over the world had done the same thing we did.
It wasn't a "sky is falling" thing, we truly averted a lot of problems.
