Ahem…

Should add some corn to the burger mix.

“Terminally online” is, indeed, an undesirable state to exist in, but so is the urban hellscape in which public transportation operates. The screen is a far lesser evil.

Wait, whales are bees?

Ketchup is for the fries, never the dog.

If you’re at the pole, just walk due south.

Just gonna leave this here for my lady friends.

tl;dr: LDPE or HDPE for most acids.

To be honest, I don’t completely know. I never used work profiles before Shelter, so I’m not 100% sure.

The Shelter app (on F-droid) gives you simple access to Android work profiles, allowing you to install multiple copies of apps.

Frugal families sold their tapes, sold their VCRs, and sought their fortunes on the high seas.

My advice: Don’t setup dual boot.

Instead, setup Virtualbox in your Linux instance, and install Windows in a VM. You’ll have access to a windows “crutch”, without having to leave Linux to use it.

For what I’m paying in mortgage and one car loan, I couldn’t afford rent on an apartment in the nearest city. Whatever single family home I could afford to buy in the city, I wouldn’t want to live in.

Today, it takes a family with both parents, or partners, working just to have enough money to pay a mortgage and two auto loans (none if they live in a city and are smart).

If they live in the city, they aren’t paying a mortgage and two auto loans. The money they’d spend on all three in the outer suburbs is instead going to a landlord.

As shepherds we shall be…

While Intend to agree that the time needs to accommodate school schedules, it is ludicrous to base school schedules on the latest sunrise of the year, especially since that sunrise is only that late for a few weeks of the year, and for >2 of those weeks, the kids are on winter break anyway.

Schools can adjust their schedules on much smaller increments.

if new York stayed on -5 in winter

New York is on UTC-5 in winter.

8am is the latest sunrise in a Detroit winter on EST, UTC-5. If you want it earlier, Detroit can’t be on EST, let alone EDT. They would need to be on CST, UTC-6, which the never are. Solar noon would be around 11:15 AM. Sunset would be before 4PM.

Are you just being contrary for the sake of being contrary?

It’s a sad day for Rule 34.

Timezones are already a step toward an arbitrary standard time for the purposes of making communication easier and not needing to change your watch just because you moved around. UTC everywhere would just be another larger step in that already established direction.

The next step is to stop talking about “Daylight Savings Time” and “Standard Time” and phrase these as UTC offsets.

The Eastern timezone uses UTC-5 over the winter. We use UTC-4 over the summer. In summer, if they used UTC-5, the sunrise in New York would be around 4AM. Which is way too early. New York should not be on UTC-5 in the summer. But there is no real problem with New York using UTC-4 year round.

Detroit, on the other hand, would have sunrise after 9AM in winter if they used UTC-4. Which is absurd; they cannot use UTC-4 year round. But, there is no real problem with them using UTC-5 year round.

The solution, then, is not to select permanent DST or Standard Time for the entire timezone. The solution is for the states (or localities) to each select which UTC offset makes sense for them, and the next time they are on that offset, they do not switch again.

Let’s stop using the terms “DST” and “standard time”. They really confuse the issue. The contiguous US uses UTC-4 (EDT) , UTC-5 (EST/CDT) UTC-6 (CST/MDT), UTC-7 (MST/PDT) and UTC-8 (PST) time zones. We aren’t all going to be using the same UTC offset for permanent time. We are all going to be adopting the UTC offset that makes sense for our region.

New England and Michigan are currently in the same time zone, which switches between UTC-4 and UTC-5. Year-round UTC-5 puts dawn before 4am in New York City during the summer. New England should absolutely not be on UTC-5 in the summer. They should be on UTC-4. On permanent UTC-4, New York dawns will always be between 5 and 8 AM.

Year-round UTC-4 puts dawn at 9am in Detroit during the winter. Detroit should absolutely not be in UTC-4 in the winter. On permanent UTC-5, Detroit dawns will always be between 5 and 8 AM.

New York should be on permanent UTC-4. Detroit should be on permanent UTC-5.

Its easier to illuminate a bedroom in the morning than the great outdoors in a ridiculously early evening.
