  5. This might be a good topic to revisit.  This topic seems as alive or more alive than it was 12 years ago.

    I definitely recall complications around changing clocks, different clock times for scheduling etc. And when this vid was made, it's when I was unsure if various clocks were updating themselves correctly automatically. Nowadays, I'm always certain my personal devices have the correct time, regardless of what I do or where I am, and just checking the weather in another locale gives their local time too. The magic of scheduling software within our phones, laptops, etc, gives the true time of a scheduled event without any particularly difficult mental gymnastics. It just is what it is.

    New focuses: The push to make daylight savings time permanent, which to me is an abomination against natural time… To decide to permanently never have High Noon again, but High 11am. lol. Etc. Why not just make work schedules more flexible in general, and allow employers and employees to determine what schedules work best for them. And still, health and mental affects of switching clock time without traveling. It still messes me up when we "Fall Back" and I'm in northern North America at the time…. but I'd rather see DST abandoned and keep natural solar time than the other way around.

    Thanks for the content!! 😀

  15. I'd definitely have zero complaints if daylight saving was abolished in the UK. The way it has fallen meant last October when they went back I had to do a 13 hour night shift, then this past weekend when they went forward, I lost an hour's sleep prior to a 12 hour day shift! It certainly doesn't do much for my mental health when it falls like this!

  25. All I know is that in the spring and summer it doesn't get dark out until
    8pm / 9pm

    In the fall and winter it gets dark
    Around 4pm – 6pm
