Yes, we can't change nature. But, we can change the perceived timing of those daylight hours. I like DST for the 8 months that we have it, and ST for the other 4 months.The reality is there are more daylight hours during the Summer (Northern Hemisphere) and less in the Winter. Moving the clocks ahead or back doesn't impact the number of daylight hours which is really a function of what season it is.
Guessing probably in November.Seem to recall a recent thread on this topic.
I think it's more a function of airline schedules being based on Zulu time, also known as Universal Mean Time or Greenwich Mean Time.I wonder if this is a (VERY minor) consequence of changing time...
I'm scheduled to fly tomorrow at 11:30a. I got an email time stamped at 10:29a today saying "It's time to check in!" (normally 24 hours before flight). I wasn't paying attention to the time, went to my Delta app and go the message "It's too early to check in."
10:29a today will be 11:29a tomorrow. Maybe Delta changed the clocks on their email notification system a day early?
Good thought. I didn't think of Zulu time. BUT, should all of their systems reference the same time?I think it's more a function of airline schedules being based on Zulu time, also known as Universal Mean Time or Greenwich Mean Time.
SW does this where if you're checking in today for a flight tomorrow it is 25 clock hours when you can check in. Same issue in the fall, you can't check in until 23 clock hours before scheduled eparture.
Senate approved it a year ago. House did not. No interest in the House at the time in the bill. Not to get political, just a statement of fact, but a different party controls the House now, so maybe it will get some traction.Wish we would just stop this practice already. There’s a bill in Congress, but it hasn’t been approved yet.
I don’t mind the spring, it’s the fall that gets me. I hate it getting dark so early (at sunset) in cold weather.
So, do you still use the time change as a reminder to change your smoke detector batteries even though you don't change your clocks?We don't change here, but it is nice to know when it happens so I know when to make calls.......(WDW and DLR)
No....we change batteries on Halloween every yearSo, do you still use the time change as a reminder to change your smoke detector batteries even though you don't change your clocks?
Mine are all 10 years old, and I guess now you're supposed to replace the entire detector every 10 years. And the new one's come with a battery that lasts 10 years.
Ah, only once a year? Not twice a year like they recommend?No....we change batteries on Halloween every year
