No condescension intended, I didn’t understand if there was a typo or not. You can’t always infer tone from written language and you don’t know me so you shouldn’t infer that such tone was intended towards you; so apologies to you if you felt I meant you any insult, passive aggressive or otherwise!
Almost everyone caries in their pocket the technology to make gradual adjustments throughout the year so there wouldn't be a need to do it all at once twice each year. Heck communication and computing power is now capable and affordable enough to make a wrist watch capable of the calculations. I expect that large companies would be the first to adopt a LNBT standard as a perk for employees that need to keep a schedule.
Na forget about it. It's just a silly concept that we would apply the technology as it becomes available to our advantage while we could just plod along in the same rut without considering the possibilities.
ok, I’ll byte. Am I being Rick Rolled ?
Low to mid 70’s sun low in the sky even with some humidity sounds like a fine time to be outside!
Sorry to “hear” that.
That’s my vote. An extra hour of daylight at night would make outdoor exercise and cooking possible all year round.
say, mid-70’s, with a 90% humidity, that makes it feel about 85F, no wind... and mosquitoes that drain your blood.
Also, that’s usually the midnight to 2 AM time.. I’m well asleep by then.
In the evenings after work, it’ll be 85-90F, with that 90% humidity... and still the damn mosquitoes.
Leave it up to a bunch of Ontario royalists to invent something so stupid as DST.
We call it the Gregorian calendar because Pope Gregory XIII proposed the calendar reform. But of course he did not invent the count of years from the supposed date of the birth of Jesus Christ. That count is based on the work of Dionysius Exiguus.
Some people object to B.C. and A.D. because of their Christian origins.
But B.C. can be interpreted as "Backwards Counting" and A.D. could be interpreted as Annus Dionysiacus after the inventor of the count of years.

I’ll vote for that!

Finally!

Beets me.
Get above 45° latitude and the 'extra hour' ain't gonna help much in the winter!
And in the summer ya got so much sunlight you could EXPORT some of it!
ff
:-) 40° lat and reasonably mild most of the year, but November-January it’s dark too early. I could manage grilling by the patio light, but really prefer walking my dog or biking in natural light.
39° 53’ for me
