alberta is holding a referendum later this month to vote on whether (or not) to get rid of daylight savings time
9:36 am
hurshy

good luck!
9:37 am
cybernan

I could vote for that
9:37 am
cybernan

could never figure out why we had it in the first place
9:37 am
hurshy

DST causes extra deaths and costs economies lots of money, so, it's kind of a no brainer. either have it year round or don't have it at all. the switching just causes havoc.
9:38 am
MollyL

Kids and darkness in the morning when they go to school.
9:38 am
welki

it's already dark in the morning and by suppertime here - a little more daylight would go a long way here by the time the winter doldrums hit
9:39 am
hurshy

it's lighter in the morning WITHOUT DST, so having DST does not help kids and school
9:39 am
hurshy

of course schools should also start later, esp high school, but we don't do that sensibly either.
9:39 am
clg47

I say cut the difference and adjust the time by 30 minutes.
9:40 am
cybernan

ah, but if school started later the kids would be coming home in the dark
9:40 am
MollyL

I know. Let's get teenagers, that need more sleep than any of us, up at the crack of dawn.
9:40 am
hurshy

ah, a true moderate, clg!
9:40 am
MollyL

Then shorten the school day.
9:41 am
MollyL

And shorten the work day, while you're at it.
9:41 am
welki

i'd suppose we get an average of 8-9 daylight hours each day in winter - that's a lot of dark time
9:41 am
hurshy

there's unfortunately not much we can do to provide extra ACTUAL daylight hours lol
9:42 am
clg47

We have a lot of winter darkness where I live too. But I love the long summer days.
9:42 am
welki

getting rid of DST would help
9:42 am
MollyL

Hurshy what is your source for daylight savings time causing deaths and costing economies lots of money?
9:43 am
hurshy

articles i've read about it
9:43 am
rastapopolous

the Nordic countries actually provide sunbeds to try to combat SAD
9:43 am
zoozzoom

Wonder how Finland handle the darkness for the school children during the Winter months? They have pretty much 24 hours of darkness.
9:43 am
hurshy

if you do a search on like "daylight savings deaths" you can find articles from a variety of sources about the increase in car accidents and stuff
9:44 am
rastapopolous

SAD can cause suicides etc, I'm sure that's the sort of stuff hurshy's articles are referring to
9:44 am
cybernan

anyone else finding this grid unusually tough? Stalled already with 158 to go
9:44 am
hurshy

likewise 'daylight savings cost to economy'
9:44 am
MollyL

Yeah, I did. But their stats are all skewed because sleep deprivation causes fatal traffic accidents all the time, not just after daylight savings time.
9:44 am
zoozzoom

Only just started, Nan with 105 words so going smoothly for me at the moment.
9:45 am
hurshy

there's still a spike in them that weekend though
9:45 am
hurshy

also more heart attacks and strokes, weirdly enough
9:45 am
MollyL

Sleep Affective Disorder happens whether we have daylight savings time or not. The time naturally changes and we have more darkness in winter.
9:45 am
cybernan

I don't think SAD causes people to commit suicide, I it may be a contributing factor to depression, but it is the mental illness that is the cause.
9:46 am
penquis

i believe it is Seasonal Affective Disorder....less light affects people....
9:46 am
hurshy

rasta, i'm not talking about SAD, because of course SAD happens regardless of DST or not, just because of the fact that there will be less daylight in winter no matter what
9:46 am
rastapopolous

SAD Seasonal Affective Disorder, not sleep.
9:46 am
MollyL

Again, skewed statistics. It's more accurate to attribute those things to the time of year and not the artificial time change.
9:47 am
MollyL

Sorry, typo
9:47 am
MollyL

Meant to write Seasonal
9:47 am
rastapopolous

well, it was initiallyi response to hurshy saying we can't increase daylight hours. The sunbeds attempt to address this
9:47 am
hurshy

so Molly, just to clarify, yes, i'm not referring to anything to do with SAD, that is a separate thing
9:48 am
hurshy

the sunbeds are a nice idea. i hope they are careful about them not causing skin cancer though!
9:49 am
MollyL

Rastapopulolous brought Seasonal Affective Disorder into this.
9:49 am
MollyL

The sunbeds are about light, not tanning.
9:49 am
penquis

you can just get a full spectrum light bulb for your reading lamp....my great nephew has done that....
9:49 am
hurshy

yes. they are obviously related conversations, but two different streams.
9:50 am
hurshy

i know they are ABOUT light, but, i mean, real sunlight causes skin cancer so i'm figuring sunbeds could also unless you have a way to design them that doesn't do that
9:50 am
MollyL

You can get all kinds of light boxes that help with Seasonal Affective Disorder.
9:50 am
hurshy

i have one but i don't really use it
9:51 am
hurshy

i don't think i have SAD much. i have LAD.

700 x 100,000 would be 70,000,000 which would be almost a quarter of the population

6:29 pm
hokie carla

just a fan, which is short for fanatic since no one likes shortened words here.
6:29 pm
HarryHood

well I doubt any of them do it anymore. highly un-PC.
6:30 pm
HarryHood

in fact, how are the braves even called the braves?
6:30 pm
HarryHood

cultural appropriation to the max
6:30 pm

6:31 pm
hokie carla

6:32 pm
HarryHood

After all the lockdowns, I've lost all sense of when the clocks change all over the world, so I just came in to see if the new grid is up yet. I see it isn't, so can provide cl5.14s for the old one if anyone ne5.12s them.
11:38 pm
dcseain

clock change here 7 Nov.
11:39 pm
Jacula

I think ours in UK is end of Oct.
11:40 pm
dcseain

31 Oct in UK the internet tells me.
11:41 pm
Jacula

Yep, seain. Just checked on my calendar and it's 31st Oct.
11:42 pm
dcseain

so for a week, we'll be 4 hours apart.
11:42 pm
Jacula

Yes.
11:43 pm
Jacula

I'll also have had The Terrible Trio for 7 years that week!
11:43 pm
dcseain

:) nice
11:53 pm
Jacula

Yep! A little worried about Simba (the long, rangy ginger fluffy Ginger Ninja) at present. He's started to come to me for more on the lap evening cuddles in the past couple of weeks and, stroking him, I realised that underneath all that fur he's a bag of bones and it feels like his bones might break through his flesh at any moment. As far I can tell, he doesn't have any internal parasites, but what I did notice recently is that the normal brand of sachets of wet cat food we can get now (it's been a bit short in supply in shops for a couple of months now) even though it's from Northern Ireland, has a different feeding recommendation on it. The packs we get now must have less potash filler in them or something, because rather than 3 sachets per day it says 4 on the foreign market ones. I hope I haven't been inadvertently starving my largest cat for the past couple of months! I've started giving both the Ginger Ninja's an extra half sachet of food with each meal and more dry food. Daisy Cat, their sister doesn't ne4.5 it, since she's less active and very well padded. Just have to make sure she doen't poke her nose into her brothers' food bowls.
11:54 pm
dcseain

oh, dear.
11:55 pm
Jacula

I used to cook fresh food for my old cats, but this lactose-intolerant trio, get runny tummies if any slight change of diet happens.
11:55 pm
dcseain

sigh.
11:56 pm
Jacula

Yes, quite. Cats are an enigma.
