Prof. Sam LawlerFUCK all my North American meetings get one hour earlier this week?!! AUUUGHHHH I hate daylight savings time.
Oh no... EXCEPT FOR THE ONES AT HOME IN SASKATCHEWAN. Welp, my meeting calendar is fucked, pretty sure that it's going to get all the time zones wrong for everything forever now. (Luckily I will leave NZ before they go off daylight savings time, or I'd have to do another rant and watch my meeting calendar get even more fucked...)
ScottyWell, you will go gallivanting around the planet @sundogplanets đ¤Łđ
GunChleoc@sundogplanets If the planet could at least agree on the effing date when they do this nonsense
Dr. Eric J. Fielding, PhD@gunchleoc @sundogplanets I donât see any way to avoid having the International Date Line, unless we go to a flat Earth
Roy -- the dull one@EricFielding @gunchleoc @sundogplanets
Great suggestion!
Or we could just agree among ourselves that we're going to stop spinning.
Ken Butler@gunchleoc @sundogplanets Europe does.
Alexandre Olivanot possible. daylight savings is supposed to be around summer, but summer occurs at different parts of the year depending on which hemisphere you're on.
back when (most of) Brazil had DST, my US and Europe weekly meeting times varied by up to 2 hours throughout the year, and remained at each extreme for months
Europe vs US out-of-sync DST is like playing that game in easy mode

zl2tod@zl2tod No I haven't had the honour yet. Someone gave me a copy of one of his excellent books though, and I've been using it to learn a lot about MÄori astronomy.
I hope you get to bump into him while you are here.
Darryl Shpak@sundogplanets I used to work for a company with offices in Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Whether meeting times changed for DST depended on who booked them. Twice a year everyoneâs calendars would suddenly have a bunch of conflicts as half their meetings shifted around.
Pusher of Pixels@sundogplanets what time voodoo do the Kiwi's follow?
Roadskater, Ph.D.@pixelpusher220 @sundogplanets Start of April, Kiwis will set their clocks BACK an hour.
There's someone in Wellington I've been DMing with for nigh on 20 years about gaming stuff, and timezone changes always cause chaos because not only do they go in opposite directions, they don't occur at the same time.
Shaula Evans@sundogplanets Not frivolous at all. It's brutal on all of us.
Challis2070@sundogplanets I dislike this immensely!!!
Andre Louis@sundogplanets Then you hate something that doesn't exist. 'Savings' is what you keep in the bank. *Saving* is what you *want* to hate...
Dr. ir. Brian R. Pauw@sundogplanets just refuse daylight savings considerations for meetings. From now on, say: âall my meetings are scheduled in UTC: the one true time standardâ. And encourage others to follow đ
I like this suggestion for two reasons.
1. It evades parochial and geographical jingoism.
2. While the meetings are being set up, everyone will become confused and annoyed by trying to sort out MY time vs YOUR time vs UNIVERSAL time. Enraged partisans will argue to the bitter end when the meetings are being arranged, so there won't be any more meetings. Everyone wins! đ
@sundogplanets opinion: meetings for people in more than one time zone should be booked in UTC.

Gordon J Holtslander@sundogplanets BC throws in another quirk, Pacific Time, daylight time all year, no more switchingâŚ

Odin@sundogplanets Not frivolous at all, while I like being on daylight savings time (and wish we could keep it year round), the change itself is a huge pain for absolutely everyone
