I grew up in Indiana and had no problem living in a world without DST. I was actually happy to not have to deal with it. When I eventually moved to another state switching was annoying as hell and I couldn’t care less about the daylight shift relative to what my clock said.

I propose we switch our clocks a few seconds every day instead.

Remember when the bipartisan Senate passed this by unanimous consent in 2022 and the GOP-led house refused to take up the vote?

And in any case. whether it permanent Daylight savings time or permanent standard time, we need to stop moving the clock. Anyone with pets or young kids can attest to the fresh hell it creates twice a year.

PERMANENT DST.
Standard time can get bent. I want my sun in the afternoon evening, and extra hour of light in the morning during the winter serves no purpose.

This. I want more daylight when I’m done working for the day, not before.

Of course Leon wants to try something that was already tried in the 70s and everyone absolutely hated it to the point the two year experiment barely lasted a year, cause he’s too fucking stupid to learn from past mistakes.

The weather controlling part is the distraction. It’s what is tacked onto the bill that is important. In this case it allows the board of trustees of the internal improvement fund greater power to delegate responsibilities for how departments in Florida function. Aka, it’s a power grab.

an apparatus ... for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight...

Does this mean Trump won’t be able to use his Sharpie to alter the path of hurricanes anymore? I’m guessing the Florida Republican degen who wrote this bill didn’t think that through.

I think the “for the express purpose of affecting the temperature, the weather, or the intensity of sunlight” is the out for that. It’s just a happy side effect for them, not the main concern.

S0 orchards won’t be able to spray water on their citrus to keep it from freezing ? 

As always, check what else is attached to the bill. There’s a power grab hidden in this one.

Patty pat pat, read the whole damn article 😂

Buc-ees is the successor to Stuckey’s that used to dot the interstates and by-ways in the ‘70s. Where Buc-ees has salted beaver nuts, Stuckey’s had the Pecan Log. Of course, eating anything ‘log’ provoked sniggers from us kids in the back, but hey, when you’re 10 years old, purile humor is the best sort.

I noticed they didn't move the refinery.

This he could have been killed on landing, or injured and then nature disappeared his remains.  There are both black and grizzly bears in Washington State that would have happily taken a free meal.

(In all seriousness, they think he may well have died in the landing. He jumped with a parachute that couldn’t be steered into the PNW woods at night)

“and the FBI thinks he may have never landed from his jump”
