<p>Good one Carl/Ken ...</p>
<p>And don't even get me started on converting calendars and clocks
to *metric* (y'all know how much I prefer fractions over decimals
for everyday measures and calculations).</p>
<p>As a child, WWV was one of the very few constant signals I could
tune in on my parent's antique (even then) "Zenith Wave Magnet"
they let me keep in my bedroom... I can still see the dull orange
glow seeping out of the back of the set when the tubes were
cooking... now-adays when I fire it up I also smell the dust
burning off. Deeply visceral... "beep, beep, beep..." WWV-Fort
Collins.</p>
<p>I haven't cared "much" about DST in any part of my life... it has
just been an opportunity to stir the pot and be contrarian about
something I know to be arbitrarily arbitrary really. Same for
metric/english/archaic measures. All those things exist for good
reason even if they persist for bad ones.<br>

get why it's such a big deal. Sure, it's obsolete. And
maybe it kills a few people, raises cortisol, etc. But
there are so many other things that affect our (sleep)
cycles soooooo much more, like obesity, alcoholism, wage
slavery, TikTok fomo, ... on and on. Passing such a law
feels like rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Or
maybe complaining about how a reporter discussing Putin
mispronounces "nukular" ... an odd thing to complain about
while the ICBM heads your way.<br>

it would just make more sense to sqew the 8-5 (or 9-4) for
bankers) an hour earlier instead, but what is the point of
having a state/federal/global government if it isn't going
to decide for you how we index time?<br>
