It has to be said, and who better than a curmudgeon to say it: What is all this horseshit with daylight savings time? Like all curmudgeons, I've been through this pointlessly stupid cycle more than 100 times and have found it useful exactly zero times.
There is no known point to it. There is no known benefit to it, but we persevere because, well, congress.
At least most of my newer timepieces (even my car!) change on their own, but there are always older clocks and things like my thermostat lurking about that need to be changed manually. And with digital timepieces, each one is, apparently by law, required to work differently.
So we go through a pointless exercise twice a year, do unnecessary work, and reap nothing but frustration.
Well done, all!
P.S. I have never done this before, but here's an adder: Sunday's John Oliver show used their "Why is this still a thing?" to expose the stupidity of Daylight Savings Time. You can thank Kaiser Wilhelm from WW 1 for inventing it; you can thank your current congress for continuing it without a clue as to why.
