The thing that burns me out about freelance is the client just views you as a cost center. Always want more work in less time. I start to fantasize about the "camaraderie" of being on a team. Maybe there needs to be a Freelancer&#

So now you can hide the fact that white supremacists are sending you money? F!@#ing weird example. But no one has a problem with the meth cook example??

> time that should be spent working is spent on tinkering with the DE The counterargument is that time spent optimizing your workflow by tinkering with the DE pays off 10x.

Adjusting twice annually (forward and back) is a compromise between adjusting every day and never adjusting. Four adjustments might be preferable for people closer to the poles, at the expense of people closer to the equator.

> Most workers today would prefer going to work in the dark and having daylight after work. Daylight in the morning suppresses the action of the pineal gland. This helps you wake up. Getting up in the dark may sound like fun but it'

The advantage of daylight savings is I can set my schedule to wake up at the same time each day, while maximizing my daylight hours and never getting up before dawn. Without the shift for daylight savings, the sunrise time in San Francisco
