Just a reminder you have to manually change the setting under your Profile to account for Daylight Saving Time, should your locale observe such a silly outdated practice ;D

It is estimated that this silly antiquated thing causes savings in the billions annually on heating and lighting that is why it was recently expanded... Ben Franklin was a smart cookie

Maybe years ago it saved some money but not anymore. adults and kids up at 5am, they have the lights on to get ready for school or work. As for heating and cooling energy, use a programmable thermostat. We have three shifts t work, so the environmental controls are always on. On cooler days I see multiple parents sitting at the bus stop with their vehicles running to keep their children warm or dry. Streetlights come on or go off with the sunset/sunrise.
DST on and off, so now they need to be reset 4 times a year manually rather than none. I actually don't bother anymore, since I've gotten better phones, so really I should unplug them and save that much more electricity.
All the wall clocks at work are already between 3 and 15 minutes different, and they don't get any better as over the next two months they MAY get reset. Maintenance always misses a few, and they don't bother to even come close to synchronized.
I find most people do not know how to change the clocks in their cars, so they are either close or off by an hour, or way off since the last time the battery was disconnected.
DST time changes now only cause irritation.
