    Don't forget to change your clocks tonight, you befuddled peoples in lands that still torture their populace with seasonal time adjustments.

    Whoever invented that should be put in one of those places where they do basket weaving.

    Daylight saving time (DST), also referred to as daylight savings time, daylight time (United States, Canada, and Australia), or summer time (United Kingdom, European Union, and others), is the practice of advancing clocks (typically by one hour) during warmer months so that darkness falls at a later clock time.

    In the USA the torture began March 12 2023, and ends early tomorrow morning November 5.

    It varies around the world, but here in Mexico they got rid of that last year. Yay!

    Either one, set it and leave it alone. Dunno why one hour can screw everybody up for days getting used to the new time...

    In Ohio we changed the clocks back over the weekend. I had a couple medical tests this morning at 7:30 and all the clocks in the facility were wrong.

    If we could vote on this I would go for stopping the changes twice a year. Pets certainly don't change their clocks.

    As much as I dislike the time changes twice a year, it does save some energy consumption that would otherwise happen at latitudes far from the equator, such as where I live.

    Near the equator, it's totally pointless.

    I had to do the time change twice this Spring, first in my usual home country, and then on a trip to a country that changes the clocks weeks later. Even though I gained back in transit that first lost hour, it didn't feel like it. Losing an hour again was pretty tough, when the host country sprang forward, after I'd gotten used to the sunrise and sunset times in the host country.

    Very confusing... I am so glad they do not have that where I live.
