Comment Re:DST is a trade off. Not having it isn't 'free'. (Score 1) 159

Well see I, like many, have a job. If I leave by 5 pm and get home by 6 pm, its pretty much already dark. This also provides the added bonus of driving West with the fucking sun setting in my face the entire time. I also love driving to get to work by 7 am with the fucking sun rising in my face the entire time.

Additionally, multiple studies have shown that kids do better with a later school start. That would resolve the "think of the children" pearl clutching about them having to travel in the dark. All that is left are the whiny pussies who act like they can't wake up without natural sunlight - they can buy an alarm clock and grow the fuck up.

There are different kinds of slavery. Owning someone and all subsequent offspring is chattel slavery. Indentured/involuntary servitude is also a type of slavery and while the 13th amendment abolishes both types it clearly makes an exception as punishment for a crime for which someone has been duly convicted.

You only need it to adopt new hardware, make configuration changes, install firmware updates, etc. I have mine running in a docker container, but I'm pretty sure they still have an application you can just run on your computer. Or you can buy an official piece of hardware dedicated to hosting the controller.

Communism doesn't work when it is implemented by people because people are too selfish and flawed. That is why communism was a very successful tool for authoritarians to gain enough support to seize power and then immediately abandon the facade. It is sort of like Christianity in that respect - lots of pie in the sky promises of equality that sound great to people who have been poor or oppressed their entire lives that the people in charge never actually intend to deliver.
