Actually, DST is now (as of 2007) from half-way into March until the end of October (7.5+ months), so PST is actually used for less than 4.5 months out of the year. I could see Trump and blocking this just to spite California. I hope not, as I think it makes good sense and I voted for Prop 7 as I hate the time change. I don't care of we go to UTC-7 all the time or UTC-8, I just hate the change.
Federal law doesn't allow variance in the days. It mandates that if DST is followed, it will be followed on specific dates - and it changed those days effective 2007. Current Federal law isn't going to allow California to change to permanent MST (aka PDT, or UTC-7). Current Federal law allows California to change to permanent PST (dropping PDT with the DST change).
Yup, and doing so would make California match Arizona in MST and not changing clocks. Might see Nevada follow suit. If so, maybe Utah would drop DST as well and just have MST, and so on, perhaps all the way to the northern US borders (and then influence bordering Canadian provinces as well). I'd like it, not sure if all the folks in the northern states would.
Might spread to the rest of the western states as California will influence its neighbors (Nevada and Oregon), which in turn may further influence their neighbors further north and east. If California pulls this off, it will always have the same time as Arizona, and as other states follow suit, it would make for one large western time zone.
However, the US Senate and the POTUS may block this just to spite California, but this really is a party-neutral issue with huge support from 60% of Californians.
Sometimes 9:30am... company policy says no later than 9am, but, no one cares so long as I am there for any scheduled meetings. Tomorrow I start at 4:30am as we're replacing some core switches and causing an outage for 2 hours, but that was determined to be the best time to have the outage - but that's a rarity. Often folks schedule meetings at 8am, and I "go in early" and then leave at 4pm.
I'm not an expert on the law at all, but I think it basically says if you are going to have some sort of time change, you must follow the national time change days. But there are plenty of places that chose not to have any time change, such as Arizona, and there are other places which aren't uniform throughout the state, like Indiana: https://www.timeanddate.com/ti...
"Arizona is exempt from DST according to the US Energy Policy Act of 2005. The Act gives every state or territory the right to decide if it wants to use DST. If DST is observed, the state has to schedule DST in sync with the rest of the US: From the second Sunday in March until the first Sunday in November."
Ah, but this link says a state may opt out of DST, and instead use their Standard time. California is trying to move to a permanent Daylight time, which isn't allowed by the Federal law: https://www.timeanddate.com/la... "260a. Advancement of time or changeover dates (a)(1) any State that lies entirely within one time zone may by law exempt itself from the provisions of this subsection providing for the advancement of time, but only if that law provides that the entire State (including all political subdivisions thereof) shall observe the standard time otherwise applicable during that period, "
If California does go forward and basically moves to Mountain Standard Time (aka Pacific Daylight Time), it would make a good amount of sense for Nevada to do the same as then they'd be in sync with two of their neighbors. I could see Utah dropping the time change to stay in sync with AZ & NV as well, and so on going north.
Then we'd just have 3 main timezones in the contiguous. Curious if the east coast or central time zones might copy, but I don't really care so long as the west drops the time change as that's where I live had have most business meetings.
Not really. Driving is a privilege, not a right. Sure, freedom of travel is a right, but not by whatever means you want - think about trains, planes, etc., which all have restrictions.
I started with RHL 5.2 - not RHEL 5.2, but Red Hat Linux 5.2, pre-RHEL and Fedora. I've used every RHL version and then about every other Fedora version until RHEL/WhiteBoxLinux/ScientificLinux/CentOS came out and continued on the EL path, using Fedora just for MythDora "appliance" DVR purposes. I've used Ubuntu here and there and am impressed. My most recent workstation at work is Ubuntu 18 LTS which was a breeze to setup. We're a strong RHEL shop for all things Linux, but I just got tired of fighting proprietary or limited support things on the Desktop and all the CentOS/Fedora work-arounds that only work for a few years (Google Chrome, Earth, to name a few).
Personally, I've been Windows-free since RHL9, and have only used Windows in VirtualBox/VMWare Workstation for very specific proprietary requirements where necessary (Quickbooks when I had my own personal business and my accountant had all the info for the reports I needed to produce - I tried with GnuCash, but at the end of the day I needed to be out billing and not trying to produce bills and financial records - that said, I've used GnuCash for my personal finances since my cold-turkey conversion with RHL9 when I removed Windows from all my personal devices).
What would I like to see in 3 years? More ham radio support. I hate having to run a Windows box just to program my radios and run fully-featured communication software. Better/full native Steam support and no need for Wine. That's about it, but I don't see either one coming to pass in 3 years.
Kamala D. Harris is a horrible legislator and I'm embarrassed to have her a senator from California. But, like a broken clock, she is right every once in a while. Unfortunately, the clock is right probably 729 times more per year than her.
Plot twist: Satoshi Nakamoto is really the CIA, the same as all major TOR nodes. Yup, totally anonymous, no one knows who you are or what you're doing.
Name one Florida CWP holder who has murdered someone. The only person I've ever heard of who shot someone was George Zimmerman, and it wasn't murder, but self-defense.
The problem is easy to fix. All current permits issued during this period are just run through NICS (as they should have been) and all the ones issued to Prohibited persons are revoked.
Prohibited persons aren't legally allowed to even possess firearms or ammo, so even if they have a Florida permit, they're breaking the law.
Actually the other way around. It removed the ability for police to charge minorities because they could now legally carry without a permit. Permitless carry is pro-minority, just like gun control was and still is racist.
Yeah, but most convicts aren't ever going to waste money applying for a CCW permit because they know they'll be denied. I say most, because I know that there are still denials.
It keeps those that can't read and answer basic driving laws from legally driving on the road, as well as those who can't satisfactorily operate a motor vehicle off the road, or even see with good enough vision.

Gotta agree. Changing to Standard time this late in the year with the sun setting earlier only makes it hurt that much worse.
But, if California has to pick PST year-round vs. a time change, I'll settle for that as well.
Here, here! Or at least the Western Interconnection.

Current Federal law only allows it to go to permanent PST. It cannot move to another time zone that it isn't located within.

What did you do in 2007 when the time changes shifted a few weeks? Buy new devices that can handle time zone changes.
They can't just do whatever they want. They can choose not to observe DST, as provided by Federal law.

Sounds like insurance fraud, which is a crime. Don't collect $200, go straight to jail.

Most families are paying more than their rent/mortgage for health care in the US, unless their employer is chipping in a very large portion.
Got my window spot back 3 weeks ago, not going to give it up again. I noticed a definite health decline without having a window.

It's still a Linux kernel, just because it is customized doesn't make it not Linux.
