Re: xkcd is too true, but posted at the wrong time.

There was a great deal of debate over DST during the petro crisis of the early 1970s. Proposal then was to make DST the year-round standard for further energy saving--if DST really saves energy at all. One debating point was the specter of millions of children waiting for school buses in the

Re: xkcd is too true, but posted at the wrong time.

And then there are the clocks we have that automatically do DST--but which predate the semi-recent date adjustment. So instead of having to adjust the clocks twice a year like most clocks, we have to adjust these FOUR times a year. Yay. And no, there's no switch to disable it (so I guess they

Re: xkcd is too true, but posted at the wrong time.

The start date and end date for DST was adjusted sometime in the decade of the 2000s. Again, this was done as an energy saving scheme. I can't find the evidence of it at the moment but I recall another instance of the law of unintended consequences. Apparently, (at least in the US) early in

Re: xkcd is too true, but posted at the wrong time.

DST was started to save electric lighting costs. But since the introduction of Air Conditioning, DST often gets people home right at the hottest part of the day, so A/Cs that were set to let the temperature climb during the day kick in to cool down for occupancy right when the demand is highest.

Israel in 1999 switched early to standard time for pre-dawn prayers. Palestinian bombers were still on DST and transporting bombs when they went off, thinking they had another hour. http://darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1999-38.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel_Summer_Time Oh, geeze, no
