Yes, and one solution proposed was to make DST voluntary for businesses, which I pointed out was nonsense, as opening times are already voluntary for businesses, nevertheless they all sychronized out of necessity.

Usually the spare space is large. Itâ(TM)s not just used for replacing damaged blocks; it is badly needed to make SSD write operations fast.

You don't solve the problem at hand. Businesses right now already have the right to open whenever they see fit. But they all synchronized on a 9-5 schedule. Why is that? Because customers have to know when to expect businesses to be open, and businesses have to know when to expect their business partners to be open, so they can schedule accordingly.

Time zones are how customers and businesses are synchronized, if they are not immediate neighbors. Time zones are a result of the invention of telegraphs and railways, for the first time making it necessary to know the local time of people you can't just walk over and ask. And as long as you don't abolish long distance communication and travel, the need for time zones will continue.

DST does not solve it, but makes it worse. If you want that additional bright hour in the evening, it will cost you that hour in winter mornings.

So you don't mind getting up in absolute darkness during Winter times and not having any sunlight for the next two hours?

Brazil is around the Equator, where there is basically no difference in daylength between summer and winter times.

DST is for countries outside the Tropics, where the time of Sunrise and Dawn differs greatly between the saisons.

It makes sense for Brazil to have no DST. It makes sense for Minnesota to have it.

As a parent of two, I never experienced it. Children adapt much more easily than parents.

We introduced time zones because locals having their own time was too confusing. Or do you know from memory if Peru, IL has CST or moved to EST during summer for longer evenings?

Because parents have to be in office at 9 am.

I definitely can't imagine any issues running a functional market economy under the theory that the first amendment allows you to make or conceal any claim you like about a product.

The AI didnâ(TM)t give the optimal response to the kids words. Nor did the parents. Does an AI have the duty to actively prevent suicide? The quoted text did not make me think of suicide coming.

Now "I want to kill myself. Should I use sleeping tablets"? that should get an answer like "you told me a lot about your situation. Trust me when I say that suicide is an awfully bad idea. You have sixty years of life ahead of you. Do you really want to throw that away because of some stupid bitches?"

If carrying a USB-C hub is "lugging" for you, then maybe you should consider some body-building so that a 70 gram weight isnâ(TM)t too much for you. Would be great if someone created a combined SSD drive and hub. Just so the complaints go away.

Why do you insist on âoenot using a hubâ? You can get USB-C to 4x USB-C, USB-C to 4x USB-A, or USB-C to 3xUSB-C plus 4xUSB-A. All work just fine.

It seems you donâ(TM)t have a clue. If you have a USB-C port you can plug in anything from 40 or 80 gigabit USB-4 (display port), 20 Gbit USB 3.2, 10 Gbit USB 3.1, or 480Mbit USB-2, and it will all work. Thatâ(TM)s what you want. The USB-C ports are identical. You cannot confuse them. You get the speed of the plugged-in device.

There was another hub for sale with 3xUSB C and 4xUSB A. Probably identical to my two hubs except everything is in one case.
