TZ3.5: Half-hour offset

Time Zone 6:  Return of the Daylight Savings


Poiponen13

Nome has sunrise at 12:03 pm and sunset at 3:57 pm at winter solstice, and sunrise at 4:19 am and sunset at 1:47 am at summer solstice. Nome is in -9, but -11 would suit Nome better. The winter solstice would have sunrise and sunset at 10:03 am/1:57 pm and summer solstice at 2:19 am/11:47 pm.

Once again, the fine people of Nome have a way to change their time zone if they wish to do it. They don't have to listen to some random forum poster from halfway around the world.

Truth be told, I've been struggling to keep working after the sun goes down, so now I'm on Team Standard Time.
On some days I've been struggling to keep working after the sun goes down, and  also while the sun is up...
So your mileage may vary....

I demand John Madden Standard Time. 

Too many time outs, hard pass.

Some of those valleys in your family's ancestral homeland would be dark by 3:30 in the winter if that was the case.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.

Pssh, some of us are quite used to the sun setting at 1530 near the solstice.

What about how much energy it takes to run a kid over with a school bus?

Small goats run over buses in Alanland, so you'd have to use the Quigley-Parsons Equation to figure out the energy involved in the rupture of the time/time diaphragm in decanumberwangs.

Inflation is so high we can't even afford a 71 anymore, I guess.

Of course, because Alanlandian inflation is measured in crab mallets.

But eventually it will be 42 anyway.

We need exact solar time. Accuracy should be demanded. Now that would mean that Boston would have a slightly different time than Worcester but who gives a fuck.

Wasn't there some actual legitimate argument in one of the DST threads regarding having one single standard time?

But for now, it's always 5 o'clock somewhere.

Would certainly make international communication easier. But it would not be what are body's are made to do.

Was that article even necessary? I could tell it was some kind of play on a clock just by looking at it.
