Are you Yanks seriously not going to get this sorted out before winter? BC has moved - can at least the rest of Cascadia get their asses in gear? Come on, California, I do not want to be dealing with a north-south time zone difference with my coworkers
- frollogaston 4mo agoThen get BC to change it back
- mikestorrent 4mo agoHell no. Never going back.
- ssl-3 4mo agoYes, we won't. It turns out that we're way too terrible at being rational way too much of the time. For DST in particular: Even discussions where the participants manage to form something resembling a quorum to stop changing the clocks twice every year somehow manage to unilaterally get sucked into a seemingly-inescapable quagmire of differing opinions, wherein: The decision of whether to use standard time and stick with it or to stick with DST instead becomes an intractable impasse. Accordingly, nothing ever gets done. I have every expectation that I will be dead and buried before this issue is resolved.

- wpm 4mo agoTough shit. I live on the eastern edge of Central Time, I don't want to be dealing with 3PM sunsets in December.
- mikestorrent 4mo agoWho gives a shit what time it happens at? It's not like you're actually making the day shorter or longer, man.
- wpm 4mo agoBecause my schedule depends on my workday and everyone elses work day which doesn't shift around at all depending on the time of the year.
- nerdsniper 4mo agoWe don’t really get much of anything sorted these days.
