I agree. I keep reading people saying that a big reason is so the kids don't have to go to school in the dark? Forgive me for not giving a shit about that. I would rather have at least a couple ounces of light after I get home from work...

Mazama tomorrow tonight: forecast low of -28F (source: those wags at the NWS). I suggest an extra helping of bacon. Those tracks are gonna be sloooooooow.

This is what it looked like when I spent a few days x-c skiing there, some years ago. Beautiful country!!

Praise the Sun

Solar noon is almost never at noon. If we were to follow your logic we’d have a different time at every point on earth. Instead we made an approximation that tends to work ok, it’s better than the same time everywhere I think.

In the end which time slot you’re in just barely matters. What matters is that it’s totally ridiculous to shift the slot twice a year. If people want solar noon at 12:45 instead of 11:45 it makes no difference. Permanent DST is nice on the west coast because it puts the whole country on a tighter clock. I think that’s a material benefit that far outweighs the ridiculous argument you’re making about the definition of the word meridian.

uh ok...

lmfao i no lots off ppl an buz owner there an they hate them with a passion ive heard some crazy shit lol im straight so i dont worry but for my entertainment please go so i can hear some great stories 😅 good lucky an enjoy that tasty food and drink.

Homesteading

>Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food, and may also involve the small scale production of textiles, clothing, and craft work for household use or sale. Pursued in different ways around the world—and in different historical eras—homesteading is generally differentiated from rural village or commune living by isolation (either socially or physically) of the homestead. Use of the term in the United States dates back to the Homestead Act (1862) and before.

In modern usage, Homesteading refers to self-sufficient living (i.e. growing/hunting your own food).

I think we should go further. The sun should come up later so that I can go on a run/ride with the boys before popping off for a cheeky pint on the way home without feeling sleepy due to darkness at 4:15 PM!

If you wanna buy land on the west. You gotta be willing to go north/south a bit. You’re not gonna be afford 10+ acre near Seattle/Bellevue (unless you’re some big baller?)

Kids are already walking to the bus stop in the dark. My HS started at 8 am, but I had to catch the bus at 7:15, which meant standing outside in the pitch dark every single morning.

I agree, but the business lobbies who want to make more money because there will be more daylight when people get off work won. Who cares if more kids get hit by cars walking to the bus stop in the dark mornings, right?

I wouldn't be surprised though if this ever actually gets through the senate, that some businesses start adjusting their hours because enough employees complain.

New to WW, but I'd suppose it depends mainly on the animals you raise and crops you grow. So long as they can handle/thrive in a more moisture rich environment, you should be ok.

You'd have more luck with this question over on r/homestead Best of luck in your adventure!

Thanks :) cry more about it.

Homesteading? Do you mean staking a claim on public land and making it your own? You're a few decades too late. The last vestiges of the Homestead Act were repealed in 1976. If you want land you have to pay for it like everyone else.

Ah, so you’re changing event times AND the clock on the wall. Congratulations on winning.
