Don't forget to set your clocks back an hour this weekend

[gopiscrap]

no one over the age of 12 wants to miss an extra hour of sleep!!!

[Hugin]

1. I have mixed feelings about an additional hour before the election.

[Dial H For Hero]

2. Every clock I have automatically resets itself.

Phone, watch, computer, & car.

[maxsolomon]

4. Get more clocks.

Nothing on your oven or microwave?

[cwydro]

10. Lol, I even have an old fashioned tic tock analog on the wall.

My watch is analog too. Then there’s the oven and microwave, as you point out.

Never been able to figure the car one out, so I’ll be adding an hour in my head till I take it in for its checkup lol

[Dial H For Hero]

17. My oven actually doesn't have a clock. I forgot about my microwave, though!

Then again, I don't bother setting it.

[csziggy]

24. Well, my Ithaca Calender Clock doesn't reset - even though it can handle leap years!

But right now it's not working. It was made about 1879. My Dad rescued it from a trash pile in the 1930s, rebuilt it and got it working, at least for a while. I don't remember ever seeing it in operation, but a local clock guy does work on this No. 10 Farmer's model and I will see if he can get it working.

He will also service the grandfather clock my Dad built from a kit and the Jaeger‑LeCoultre Almos clock that my grandmother got in the 1940s. I'm ending up with quite a collection, but none of them take any notice of Daylight Savings Time.

3. My hope is this will be one of the last times we go through this nonsense. It no longerr makes any

sense AFAIAC.

[maxsolomon]

18. what latitude do you live at?

up here at 47 degrees north, daylight savings makes a lot of sense.

sunrise before 5:00 AM in the summer? a waste of light!

[c-rational]

29. 40.7 N. You do make a valid point for your northerly position. Had not considered that.

[Takket]

5. one more hour to put up with this monster as president

[Midnightwalk]

6. Nope. Not going to do it.

You'll all see the errors of your ways in 6 months.

[Shermann]

7. This is a Deep State conspiracy

When we set our clocks back, THEY leave theirs in daylight savings time.

That gives them an extra hour to carry out deep state shenanigans while the rest of us are snoozing.

DST really stands for Deep State Time. Think about it people.

[roamer65]

8. I wish we would just stay on EDT.

I’d rather have sunset at 630pm than 530pm.

[lame54]

9. Can we set it 2 days ahead?

[gopiscrap]

11. no, can we set it to January 20th?

[relayerbob]

12. This

[Ohiogal]

13. ...

[cbdo2007]

14. No thanks, I don't want an extra hour of 2020

[Codeine]

15. And thus begins the endless whining

about an hour. Dozens of threads posing and moaning over sixty bloody minutes.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. The earth still rotates the same speed. What sixty minutes?

It's all arbitrary and abstract anyway. Numbers must be banned from clocks. In their place, we must have labels such as, "Eat", "Sleep", "Piddle", and "Everybody Must Get Stoned".

We shall never be truly civilized until we agree that now is the time for all good dogs to pee on a Nazi.

[Ms. Toad]

26. Not usually much whining on this end.

It's the other end that causes problems.

[MineralMan]

16. Oh, damn! Again?

For some unknown reason, my wife and I have a clock on just about every wall of our house, along with clocks beside the bed and scattered elsewhere around the house. No two of them display the same exact time, except the one on the cable DVR and the ones on our computers and mobile devices.

So, on Sunday, I'll have to reset all of those non-automatic clocks. The worst of them are digital clocks that each have their own method for time-setting. Do I need to hold down the Mode button for two seconds and then step through all of the settings? Damn! Or is this clock one of those weird ones that uses some other strategy? What a dilemma!

19. Segal's Law

Segal's law is an adage that states:

"A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."

[MineralMan]

23. Very true, but

it also means that one clock, at least, will tell you that you're not late.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

20. Your infrenjun my freeedums!!!!!

[zackymilly]

21. Wow, I forgot. Thanks! n/t

[Ms. Toad]

25. I'd prefer to delay it until early January . . .

if I can cut an hour off of 2020 at the cost of an extra hour of shuteye, I'd gladly do it.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Good Reminder

We're still totally into analog clocks. About 6 around the house & deck!
The cable box changes itself. So, all the clocks & the digital one on the stove. And my watches!
And, the cars.
And....

[Totally Tunsie]

28. The manual one I always forget is the time announcement

on my landline home cordless phone. I get around to it...eventually.
