It's Day Light Savings this weekend - Sunset moves to 4:49PM on Sunday :( - decline Nov 4, 06:42 28

        so, you know it would dark in the morning all winter till after 8am? I don't get why people get all freaked out by an hour change. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:02 16
        
        I think when people complain about this whole thing, they're complaining about three things: the changing itself, the latitude of their home, and the -- (edited) - mara Nov 4, 07:12 3
        
        The abruptness of it throws everything off too. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:20 2
        
        you deal with time zone changes, like, weekly. i can't believe you even notice! -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:23 1
        
        haha :) -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:27
        
        *shrug* I want more sun when I'm not at work in the evenings. I also don't like the change as it's dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. - Krusty Nov 4, 07:04
        
        Mornings are the worst, that's fine. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:02 10
        
        being dark for hours after you get up won't make them *better*. -- nm - Andie Nov 4, 07:03 9
        
        Nothing will make them better so might as well have the light in a non-awful time of day -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:17 3

        Yeah but those people voted for Nixon -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 07:20 1
        
        Ha! :-) -- nm - mara Nov 4, 07:21
        
        I prefer it being dark in the morning as the sun won't wake me up early. I root for rainy mornings for this reason. -- nm - Krusty Nov 4, 07:04 4
        
        see here it allows sun to warm up vehicles and clear off windows an extra hour. reducing scrapping -- nm - Beaker Nov 4, 07:18 1

        if it's dark in the mornign, no way I'm waking up. I'd get fired. No alarm would work. -- nm - loosilu Nov 4, 07:13 1

    - That’s an average, more or less, from what I recall. Probably more on some days. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 06:45
- I came across an AskReddit (I think) thread this weekend with someone non-US asking if Americans really drink a gallon of milk before it expires - oblique Nov 4, 06:24

  - about white people. -- nm - Diva Nov 4, 08:09
  - I think it depends on how you define it. If you're trying to find the median of views, maybe. But largely because the right is so extreme. If you're - pmb Nov 4, 07:22 1
    - yes! tyranny of the LOUD minority -- nm - mud Nov 4, 07:24
  - And that would be fine, if people were well-informed and voted in accordance with policies they feel benefit them, rather than having prejudices stoked by bad actors. -- nm* - mara Nov 4, 06:07 7

      - "It’s no secret this nation values hard work and ‘fiscal’ competency." I actually don't believe that AT ALL -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 06:26 3
        
        No, it tracks perfectly if you realize that “Hard work” = others’ unrewarded labor, and “Fiscal competency” = not spending money to help *those people* -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 06:34
        
        Again, I think there's a huge disconnect between what people say they value and what they actually value. Anyone who idolizes Trump doesn't actually - mara Nov 4, 06:30 1

        I’m sure it does as the deduction includes property taxes. - spamlet Nov 4, 05:03 7

        Combined cap. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 05:22 5

        Depends on how you look at it. They’re going to raise the money one way or another. - spamlet Nov 4, 05:40 3
        
        "They’re going to raise the money one way or another." isn't true. - ty97 Nov 4, 05:43 2
        
        I meant the Feds in that statement. And I honestly think the deduction should be zero which would take care of the IM. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 05:45 1
