With Daylight Savings once again coming up, it never fails for it to spark discussions about its purpose in modern times. People hate it widely while few seem to be okay with it and depending where you live, others don’t even know what the deal is.
Politicians have actually put it on the docket to be voted on, but seems to have lost traction. Quite frankly, this is an issue that should be done and over with. Just end it, but please end it when we have the clocks dialed back than forward, because I wouldn’t like time going faster than it already is.
Imperial measurement system. Ffs just convert to the metric system already
I’m in Australia and it still shits me to tears that I can’t mathematically communicate with Americans. We just changed one day and it was done.
That said, the Australian mainland is running 5 different timezones right now. Some zones are only 30 minutes apart. We also have a little island just off the coast of Sydney where the DST shift is 30 minutes. The entire planet does an hour. We’ve introduced this edge case for the sake of 400 people and some stick insects.
Canada has a portion of Newfoundland that does the thirty minute thing as well.
Anyone tangentially studying anything scientific with real life measurements in the US is versed in metric. Imperial really is for the dum dums and their precious feel feels.
I just wish i didnt have to own 2 sets of tools. Even if we officially swap, im still going to have to keep 2 sets because of all the legacy junk around.
Really though, phillips heads screws bother me more than anything else. There literally designed, on purpose to strip.
Fuck, I forgot about auto work.
Also, I think hex heads are more prone in smaller applications. Phillips should’ve been the square head.
