Who has it? Begins at 2am here. I'm undecided about it as I like the later sunset but hate the disruption in my schedule
-
It will start at 2AM here tonight, too.
-
Here too. I'll be messed up trying to adjust for a few days. :zombiefuck:
-
I like the fall back better in a way as it make my scheduling easier
-
I always hated it when I was a kid, didn't seem right to be getting ready for bed when the sun was still out.
-
Doesnt bother me. Melatonin helps the body adjust to time zones, could this natural component aid adjustment to daylight savings?
-
Begins here on the 29th, 1 AM in the morning.
-
We have it here in the PRK. I fucking hate it.

No rant on how it's a government conspiracy ???

Well, it is, because they do it to save a very tiny amount of energy and people who work have to go up on hour earlier in the morning.

That's better now with more conviction >:D

I'm okay with it but I think it's funny when you get the morons who set the clock in the wrong direction and are either 2 hours late or 2 hours early.
-
It's just another way the authorities treat us like they please. In 1916 they tested it for the first time in Sweden but the farmers protested, so they didn't try it again until 1980 something, when they'd brainwashed the people enough.
-
During WW2 they changed by 2 hours for awhile
-
Yes, so you could help the Soviets to get half of Europe and let tens of millions of Negroes and Arabs come to the rest of it. Good work.
-
It really affected me. I was so tired today. I was out for lunch with my grandparents and I was nearly falling asleep in the restaurant. :yawn:
-
I hate how the US changed it so that we get an extra month of DST. >:(

I know, it's weird. I still haven't reset all the clocks yet.
-
I don't like having to get up when it's dark

If the Nazis where so superior it would not have mattered :P

Most of the protest here was because the nazi's had forced it upon the dutch during WWII.
Took a while before people would accept daylightsavings as something from their own government. There was this remembrance of oppression attached to it.

Really? I know that they had/have it in Germany, but it's not a Nazi idea originally.
By the way: why don't the Dutch like the Germans in general? I mean you didn't like them very much even before WWII, did you? And you don't like them very much now either(?)

Can't talk for the Dutch in general. I come not far from the border. Many people here are related to Germans. Or at least speak the same dialect. Go for their weekly shopping over the border. Yes there is German hatred, especially around footballmatches. But there's also joined celebrations, both the sad ones, about casualties in war, and the happy ones, about the end of WWII.
It was nazi-germany that introduced daylightsaving here. It is what most older people remembered about daylightsaving.

Do you live in Friesland? I had a German pen pal in Wilhelmshaven. :)
Restricted smoking areas is a thing that actually was invented by the Nazis originally.

LOL, now you have managed to insult almost all Friesians. Very proud people they are. They will never say that they speak a dialect. They speak a language.
I speak Dutch. And a dialect, part of what now is considered to be a West Low German language group.
-
Oh, I will hate getting up an hour early end of march.
But I will love being two hours less apart from the man that ties me to the internet.

Yes, Frisian is a language, I know. I have studied Germanistic at the university.
Wo de nordseewellen trekken an den strand,
wo de geelen blömen blöhn in't grüne land,
wo de möven schrien gell in't sturmgebrus -
dor is mine heimat, do bin ik to hus.
Dutch (correctly: Netherlands) is a Lower Franconian dialect to be exact.
-
Dutch, Nederlands, is the combination of many dialects together, the dialects of the several lower 'count(r)ies', that together formed the Netherlands. Used in the 'Statenvertaling', the major dutch bible translation. That's where the language becomes an official language. With the translation of the bible. And the dialects/languages it is made of are more than only the Lower West German dialects.
Thanks for the quote. Sounds beautiful
-
It's a poem called Ostfriesland. :)
-
Thought it was Ostfrisian, it was more eastern than 'grunnings'. But has the same rhythm in a way.
-

Policies of Colonization are what initially let the Negroes and Arabs into Europe in the 18th to 20th centuries. Alexander Dumas was a mulatto to cite one famous example.

Sweden had almost no colonies and certainly not any Arab ones. We had a little bridgehead in Africa for some decades and a West Indian colony for about 100 years (St. Barthelmy) and New Sweden in today's Delaware.
-
Sweden's Colonial period was less extensive and shorter lived than other Colonial powers to be sure, but there was one. In any case my post specified Europe, not Sweden, and the 18th to 20th centuries not any earlier colonizations/incursions.
-
we in Chile the next saturday march 14 we set back an hour ours clocks in the Continental Chilean territory but i just think dumb the DST not think that save any KW (Kilowatts) or energy that action, but of anyway the good of the DST of Winter time is that get at same time than the EST of United states.

Daylight saving ends for us at the end of this month. I have never been bothered by it. It was tried out in 1991 here and then everyone voted against having it again.
Then the year before last the government started it again without giving anyone a choice about it. We are meant to have it for three years and then vote on it.

Do try to keep up with the important states like Victoria :green:
Usually business push for things like this so they can keep up with everyone else. We've had DST since from whenever I can remember.

They ban guns, they blow people's brains out for petty crimes and force their families to pay the cartridge, so why can't they fuck with the daylight?
-
In old, nice Soviet Union, they tried to force rivers to run towards their sources. If you're an almighty commie, why would you back off for the laws of nature and such rubbish?

Well your right but imagine living there and going to bed at 6pm and getting up for work at 2am and it's a normal day

For us it seems pretty insane, but they are just numbers on a clock. They can't change when the sun rises and sets.

I wish you lived in a place where you were not allowed to talk about guns.

Just wait, that will probably come, though it will come planet-wide.

Yes just numbers but they mean something. If you were to have to do business across the country you'd still have to convert and figure out what time of day it was here you were calling. Time zones make that easier and more standard they must still have them to coordinate certain aspects of daily life

True. Locally it causes problems because not all states adhere to DST and they complain about it etc. But if a large enough company does business between wacky timezones, then I'm sure they are aware of it, discounting the morons (of which there are an endless supply it seems).
