I forgot to mention that I got two color and clear coats on the faces of the bundts. Used the wire wheel on the lug bolts to defeat the rust, and gave them a rust begone primer as well as color and clear. Now all of it is living inside until around May so that the cure is complete before rubbe

Being in "agrarian societies" all my life, I have yet to find ONE farmer who is/was in favor of DST. Might I politely suggest that someone has fed you a sack of excrement? I have NEVER heard that one before! Dan Penoff via Mercedes March 12, 2018 at 12:12 PM T

I propose that all the daylight that has been "saved" by "daylight savings time" now be released into a Yuuge Photo-voltaic power plant and converted to use in the electric grid to power Andrews electric car for free. After decades of "saving daylight", I'm sure some of the huge wareho

That was part of it, and little to do with the Wednesday afternoon fun on the links of lawyers and bankers (my father was a banker, so I have direct experience in this area.) Much of DST has to do with agrarian societies, the reasoning being that longer light into the evenings gives farmers mor

Avid (my employer) Media Composer (video editing application) is sensitive to time, if it finds files written more than 5min in the future it ignores them and video won't play. In 2006 they changed the date for DST to end. Microsoft and Apple both had patches but in any given newsroom about half

The feds meddled in the 70s. Jimmay cahtah's "energy saving" program probably. AZ and HI opted out, but everyone else had to begin and end stupid time on the same day. Fed meddling still exists. Max, in the beginning it was not about "energy savings" It was about more afternoon time on Wed

Here is what I think about every 6 months -- how can something so universally-hated persist?    At some point in the past I suppose there was some semi-compelling reason to do it but there does not appear to be any such reason now.  The strongest one has something to do with kids going to schoo

We are in a rare solar event this weekend. The rain will return soon, so I am scrambling to pack lots of little tasks while I can. Allen seems to not have parking brakes. I thought they were there, but the pedal goes to the floor and the wheels roll with no resistance, so I tried to adjust th
