Thing is you can’t make everyone happy.

Daylight savings time sole objective is to move 1 hour of sunlight in the morning to the evening.

I’m not sure how it’s supposed to help farmers unless they want to sleep in and work an extra hour into the evening. I think that it helping farmers is more of a myth.

So much of DST is misunderstood

Most people I have heard hate daylight savings time because “the sun sets so early in the winter”

Yet that’s the outcome of not staying on permanent DST. Winter is standard time.

Others hate the switch. Once again it’s because we don’t stay permanently on one.

I’m with you though, I enjoy the extra hour of sunlight in the evening.

Let’s look at NY city.

June 21th longest day, sunrise is at 5:24 am (Set 8:31 pm)

December 21th longest night, sunrise is at 6:42 am (Set 4:32 pm)

If you got rid of daylight savings time then the sun would rise at 4:24 am in June and set at 7:31 pm.

(Most people in NY probably want the extra hour of light at 7:31 pm instead of 4:24 am)

If you kept permanent daylight savings then the sun would rise at 7:42 am in December and set at 5:32 pm)

(Most people in NY probably want some light before 8 because it’s going to be dark after dinner anyways)

So many people are awake before 8 am compared to 5 am

So many people enjoy the light at 7:30 pm in the summer

Switching really is the sweet spot for NY

Location is definitely important too in hating or liking DST

Ontonagon, Mi sun sets at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)

Dexter, Me sun sets at 4:10 pm tonight (6:33 am rise)

Same time zone, both northern cities.

If we didn’t get off DST Ontonagon wouldn’t see the sunrise until almost 9 am today

People in Dexter might have preferred to stay on DST getting light between 7:33 am to 5:10 pm today

The farther west you live in a time zone the less you like DST generally. Farther east, the more you like it.

Ontonagon is so west it should really be in Central Time zone.

If that was the case then the sun would set at 4:25 pm tonight (6:58 am rise) (basically Dexter ME times)

At that point they might want to stay on DST and it would make it exactly what it was today, sunset at 5:25 pm tonight (7:58 am rise)

Should just have dimes.

$1.1 $1.2 $1.3

There’s no reason to break our currency into thousandths. Hardly a reason to break it into hundredths.

Could keep quarters to keep hundredths

Transactions already need a nickel to do 5 cents. So requiring a quarter to do 5 cents isn’t crazy.

Say you have to pay $1.05

Dollar and 3 dimes, quarter in change.

$1.15

Dollar and a quarter, dime in change.

But I think just dimes are needed

You’ve never seen Maximum Overdrive

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

Matthew 5:17

He calls and orders a pizza

Steepness has nothing to do with time.

Say your goal was to climb a 20km mountain

If it was a steep mountain it would be harder than a flat dune mountain.

If you could walk at a max speed of 10km an hour both mountains would take 2 hours to climb.

X-axis: Time Y-axis: Difficulty

Example Yo-yoing.

Doesn’t have steep learning curve. You can throw a yo-yo and get it up fairly easy. As you practice the difficulty of things you can do goes up.

It’s learning curve would look like

Example wake boarding.

Does have a steep learning curve. You more than likely will be dragged under water a couple times and probably fall as soon as you get up the first time to be dragged under water again. But once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature.

It’s learning curve would look like

Steepness is the difficulty required to move on in time

Some form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”

Psychological and physical

Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.

And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”

Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.

You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

Sweet Gherkins

It’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.

There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.

If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.

Every animal in the comic should be a horseshoe crab.

A bat can bite you in your sleep (more likely to bite a human if rabid) and you may not even know you were bitten because they have tiny teeth.

Definitely worth notifying everyone that could have came in contact.

Highly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.

It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.

It’s honestly mind blowing

I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.

Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.

I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.

I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.

As someone with long hair and a long beard I haven’t been carded in basically 10+ years.

Last weekend I got carded buying a beer with my parents-in-laws. Of course one of the very few times I didn’t have my ID.

Two 65+ people order a beer and then like, oh we’ll get your beer on our tab to make things easier. Bartender “I’ll need to see his ID”

We all couldn’t believe it. I wasn’t upset or anything, it was just kind of absurd feeling. I’ve been drinking for almost 20 years.

It’s one of those situations where common sense should be allowed to be used.

Eye-Dee-eR

Or

Eye-Dee-Uh

I.D. is Eye-D

It’s missing a last syllable

Most people I know say Eye-Dee-Uh. And the Uh is exaggerated.

I.D.er works.

Bouncer: You have to show me your I.D., I’m the I.D.er

Hillbilly: You’re what idea?

A picture is worth a thousand words

“Hi I am…I am looking for sex”

If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You’d look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)

But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.

So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.

They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.

If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.

It’s no risk, high reward

Dang you would have gotten BoobSmiles too

I get that

I wouldn’t buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn’t buy bitcoin to do the same.

If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.

I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.

The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.

The only reason you’d take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling

Craps is almost a team game.

If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.

Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.

Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.

It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?
