[News] DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME REMINDER

[jaswilliams]

Thanks for the link to the wiki on changing the time on an S9.  I recently added my husband's profile to my Oscar download and his time right now is 3 hours off--it shows him going to bed at 2100 instead of about 2400. The DST box in both of our profiles is not clicked on.  After reading this thread and the wiki it looks like I should change that S9 time before going to bed, correct?  I think the Oregon legislature has passed keeping standard time but it has not been enacted--waiting to see what California and Washington are doing,

As you are going forward by 3 hrs you can do the change when you want I suggest doing it before 21:00 so you don’t have to worry about the day roll over, maybe do it after midday

Arizona's solution effectively keeps them on daylight savings time all the time relative to MST, and that would be my preference as well.  I predict that California will ban standard time, and the western states will follow, continuing the trend of California either being the leading anarchist or just leader of being different.

About California -- they have already banned "real-time" and implemented "space-time" in honor of our former Governor Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown and his contribution to saving the planet by taxing Californians to support our shadow state, Mexico. In California, we do not lead, we infect. It's just the nature of a one-party state ruled (not governed) by aging hippies who are stuck in the 60s and still are protesting "the man." Ironically, not realizing they have become "the man" for younger generations.

For those of you who are old enough to remember the old television program Dobie Gillis and wondered what happened to his girlfriend "Zelda" Gilroy, Sheila Kuehl is now a powerful Los Angeles County Supervisor and the first openly gay legislator in California.

But, for some, myself included, it is a beautiful place to live. (In spite of Earthquakes, Wildfires, and Mudslides).

I remember Dobie Gillis and Zelda.

Poor Maynard, became Gilligan. Must have been Republican. He would have been a natural in Caddie Shack.

Even the dumbest person knows if you take a foot off a six foot blanket and sew it on the other end, you still have a six foot blanket.

But at least my feet are warm

I keep seeing variations of cutting off a blanket and sewing it to the other end, and they often come from people in AZ, NV and CA.  We all experience DST and Standard Time differently depending on our location.  Arizona, at the southwestern extent of Mountain time experiences DST much differently than Idaho at the Northwestern extent, or North Dakota at the Northeastern limits.  Similarly, a person in Florida sees a much different daylight in Eastern Time than someone in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where summer daylight often goes to 10:30 PM.  We can only guess at how the Alaskans feel with no summer darkness and constant winter darkness and time has no relevance to daylight at all.

I have read that back in the 70's AZ tried Daylight Savings Time and it was a disaster. The intent was to save energy, however, with the change, it put more people in the workplace during the hottest part of the day.

Not a time issue, but our schools start in August and get out before June. We have a lot of schools that aren't able to handle the heat in June (our hottest month). Yet, some school systems are going to a year round schedule, but then they also have new buildings designed for the heat.

Seriously, if you're going to change the time, do it now.

Rgarding DST changes and CPAP machines - just one word: don't worry about it.

Unfortunately our national media CBC here in Canada didn't bother to remind anyone that we were to put the clocks back last night. This is where I play 'the little old lady card' - and admit I completely forgot about the 'fall back' time change.

I had fun trying to get my new ResMed to pay attention this morning but I've never allowed any machine to get the upper hand - so far! - and forced it to obey me after a spot of tinkering.

daBee's question on "Airsense 10 Date and Time S" thread here this morning offers my take on how to reset the time backwards and get round the message that says it can't be done.

For those of you who forgot to change times ... just wait until after 1:00 p.m. the next day and set the time back one hour -- check that the date is correct -- and all will be well.

For all you physicists out there: time can run backwards -- the government says so!
