I've actually thought about it both ways a bunch, and I think the human brain is better adapted to the concept of dawn is at 11 AM in New Jersey and 2 PM in New Mexico than it is to the constant changing times of the precisely located stuff.
Like, in terms of planning, at least.
Say you need to get to work at 9 AM, but you live about 20 miles west of where you work. It will take you thirty minutes to drive there, what time do you leave your house?
Yeah, you'd be able to figure it out through repetition easily enough, but it would be a huge pain in the ass every time you needed to go to a new place.
The digital assistant in my phone already tells me when to leave my house to get to work on time, factoring in traffic.
What is your digital assistant? I may be interested in such an entity.
Cortana. She's not too good at helping me kill alien soldiers (although they're still working on features, so that might be coming), but she's decent at reminders.

Switching between the two is fine. Don't change a thing!
It's called British Summer Time anyway.
(Insert joke about the weather being shitty during a UK summer)
This makes the Daylight Savings switchover the devil.
I have a feeling work schedules are pretty much responsible for most of the split on this particular poll
Like I said a few ago it's going to be a night of more idiocy at work as I highly doubt they will give us a straight answer if we work an extra hour or leave at 7am or what
as if the past holds true a lot of people will take off at the new 7 as there will nothing to do since it's already how bored can you get past lunch

I'll have to download that app when I get home then. Could use some reminders and that one feature in particular you mentioned about letting me know when to leave taking into account traffic is nice.

Doesn't Cortana come standard on all the newer iPhones

We should be on Standard Time all the time. That's why it's called Standard Time.
Chess tournaments are way more fun if you take a drink everytime someone captures a piece.

I like waking up to darkness and having the sun shine until late in the evening. Get on DST and stick with it!

I turned on Pokemon Gold, and it asked me for the time. So I provided it. It was about 2:15 PM. I waited until the minute changed so I could be as accurate as possible.
Then it asked another question. I paused. The world seemed to stop, as if it had just drawn a sharp intake of breath.

Headlights are actually kind of garbage for seeing in pitch black areas because they don't reach far enough fast enough.
Is the speed of light not fast enough for you?
I do not react at the speed of light. Driving on a winding road in pure darkness aside from some jackass behind me with his brights on blinding me is a harrowing experience.

There are people who livestream chess tournaments
I love chess, but

I get up at 5am though, so this is gonna be balls for a little bit.
I have Android.
Are you an insane person or just bad at math?
tbf almost everything is more fun when you play a drinking game
Siri is Apple.
Don't mind me

I didn't realize it was available for the iPhone.
Monday will be the worst
I had a chess set that was all shot glasses once
We had to either set up teams or load them with wine or beer (which actually worked pretty well)
Otherwise people got way too fucked up

To be fair, fatal car accidents at night occur at four times the daylight rate, headlights aren't a panacea to that

"What," I whispered, "is Daylight Savings Time?"
A miserable pile of secrets

so that's helpful.
Fortunately they mostly seem to be largely inconsequential bullshit things

YET ANOTHER THING YOU'RE WRONG ABOUT!!!!!
We can still be friends, tynic
Can't we?
Didn't realize how strong of a proponent of Larlar Standard Time you were, Tynic.
we're probably gonna have to sit down over some vegemite toast and hash things out.
