@lcamtuf I hate dst so much, and I hate that current plans to "abolish it" are really plans to abolish standard time. This is especially terrible for places that are already too far west of their respective time zone, such that some places have true noon at like almost 2PM in summer.

@Aknorals @lcamtuf What's so bad about that? Getting used to the hottest part of day being an hour earlier in winter orosomething like that?

@pies @lcamtuf the heat of the day is normally a few hours after true noon. So like the hottest time of day might be nearly 5PM in some places

Always there's been numerous studies on people too far west on their time zone. They tend to get less sleep. Same with dst in general.

I'm just not into lying about noon.

@Aknorals @lcamtuf Presumably any state can also choose the timezone it's in. Which isn't to say that I care which way this goes, as long as we get rid of summer time and winter time, really.
