Incoming mass patching of any and all Date/Time libraries
Oh, we've changed them so many times at this point. In the 2000s we changed the dates that we move the clocks back and forth.
This is probably just a configuration update.

#22Does the house need to pass it? Will the president veto it? When can I literally set my clock to this?

#23This is excellent. With the rise of air conditioning, daylight savings has considerably less electricity savings than it used to. It will also make timekeeping more consistent. I have lived in Arizona for the past few years and it is pleasant to know that you will always be at UTC-7:00.
True, but this keeps daylight savings permanent not standard time.

#24>Sunshine Protection Act Jesus, does everything need to be hyperbolic virtue signaling. Won't someone please think of the children!
Nothing these days sounds more like virtue signaling than calling things out as virtue signaling.

#25Move it all twelve hours back forever, then we'll have eternal daylight!
Re: US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
#26Such a terrible idea compared to permanent standard time.
There is plenty of light during the summer, so there's no need to optimize for that. The winter is when daylight is scarce, so that's what should be optimized for.

#27Looking forward to the boost of crop production with the extra hour of daylight!
Re: US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent
#28Hot take: permenant daylight time not permanent standard time because nightowls are more common than they used to be.
I prefer having more daylight in the evening. I never really understood the opposite argument.

#29The hooray the Senate is saving our daylight I'm glad somebody is. Take care so much what would we ever do if they didn't save this daylight for us. Maybe they can take some and put it in a lock box for when we need it most.
Huge win for solar power.
