Driving to work in the dark, when most people are not fully awake, is dangerous, DST in the winter gains almost no time in the evening for any useful activities. Plus, it is too cold to be outside. I know no good reason for winter DST. The US tried winter DST in the mid-70s, it was a disaster. How soon we fofget.
I used to live in AZ. Every few years someone from "Back East" would push for DST. When asked why, the response was always, "That's how we did it back east", and after lots of laughter, there was no more discussion.
AZ and HI are smart, stay on standard time all year. FL is stupid, want to go on DST all year. The US tried this in the mid-70s, it was a disaster. Fortunately, it will take an act of Congress before this becomes real, which won't happen.
Sorry, but you are backwards. By IEEE definitions, units named after a person are capitalized. Volts, Hertz, Amperes, Teslas, Newtons, etc., but not seconds, kilometers, farads, grams, etc.
I never understood why anyone used TI calculators. I watched my engineering colleuges struggle with algebraic notation time after time, while RPN was easier and faster. And why would a professor care which machine one used? I still have my HP-41, as well as an HP-50, plus HP programs on my tablet and smartphone.
TV shows no longer reflect real life. Every show has to be what libs perceive as PC, a certain number of gays, diverse ethnic backgrounds, even transgenders are showing up. Audiences do not like having this distorted version of reality shoved down their throats.

Agree, get rid of DST!
No stinking DST!
I don't know anyone who works 9-5. Not even a 40 hour week. 8-5, 7:30-4:30, maybe. Not 9-5.

Have you ever lived without DST? I have 38 summers with no DST, 35 with. I much prefer no DST.

As usual, the utilities count meters as customers. The actual number of people without power is likely around 300,000.

Does anyone use Chrome? No one that I know.
