Its almost 2AM right now eastern, I have to wake up in 4 hours and give a philosophy presentation then immediately take a calculus test woo woo
Do the tests require knowledge of specific instances or just ask how things propagate through the social system?
Doesn't work, need the ******'s of the after the www.
Whoa I quoted a post that doesn't exist....
Daylight savings time confounds me. So the original purpose was to reduce new fangled incandescent lighting useage in the evening - which I just learned, I had always thought it was something to do with the morning, which made less sense. The point seems valid, but it's pretty much pointless. An extra hour of light in the evening in the summer, whoopdedoo, summer days are already plenty long. The power saving is irrelevent, since your going to have to use more power in the winter anyways - both for the longer nights and for keeping warm. Why do we still have daylight savings time? A few years back when the US decided to change when the clocks shift and the rest of the world had to follow suit or else everything would have gotten screwed up, why did they choose to arbitrarily change the date that the clocks shift rather than abolishing this archaic and pointless practice?
Studies on power saving from daylight savings time contradict each other all over the place. Power consumption goes down, but yet it goes up, but yet it doesn't change at all.
Asia, lots of South America, Central America, and Africa have given up DST. It doesn't exist in the Pacific rim. Iceland, half of Australia, Saskatchewan, and Arizona don't use DST. WHY ARE WE STILL USING IT.

DST was invented by the devil to annoy us humans. It is pointless..
Shun the non-believer! SHUN!!!
DST is full of win - I want my daylight towards the end of the day, not at the start when it's of no use to me at all.
Yeah, but DST only applies in the summer, where you've got enough daylight as it is.

As for that UN countries poll - damn Norwegians, bribing the UN to win...
