Arizona is not the entire world. The effect of DST is entirely dependent upon your latitude, and your longitude within your time zone. Arizona is at the western edge of MST. They can live without going forward an hour because they are already half an hour foward. Arizona is also in the south, where variations in the length of the day are smallest. Indiana, the other state famous for no DST, is also the westernmost state in EST.

Basically someone conned him into believing that it would save energy. It doesn't. There's a reason it's called "Daylight Saving Time", not "Energy Saving Time". But if we tried to go back now to the old dates, there would be enough things with the current time change dates burned in that it would not be fun.

But it already has happened, why don't you know about it? Probably because it is so bad that it only lasts a year before they go back, and then everyone forgets. Then decades later, a new generation thinks that we should end it, smug about being so smart that they were the first to think of it.

Lots of people "know" that it would be better than what we have. Except they really don't know, because they have never experienced (or even know about) the few times that it was turned off. They haven't lived through a full year with the clock an hour different. They don't stop at random times of the year to think "what if it were an hour earlier/later today"?

They only think "it sucks today", but don't think about their favored answer sucking in the middle of winter when sunrise is almost 8 AM. Or they are on the far east or west edge of a time zone, and can't comprehend that it only sucks for them because where they live makes the sun half an hour earlier/later, but they still think that things should change everywhere, just for their personal convenience.

It depends on the city. They have been slowly wiring up San Antonio for like five years now. They just buried it in my neighborhood and should be lighting it up a few weeks from now.

They have been quietly installing San Antonio Texas for the past few years, and it finally reached my neighborhood a few months ago. It's not turned on yet, but I hear that it will be very soon. They basically dug trenches on the side of the street about 18 inches deep, and put in a lot of half-inch orange conduits. Then they filled the trenches with mortar and covered the top with tar. There's a small green access panel in the ground between every other house, and some larger gray panels about two or three per block to feed those.

They've also been installing Austin, but it seems to still be only in south and central Austin so far. It's currently up to somewhere between 51st street and US-183, so you're going to be waiting a while beyond that. I used to live in way far northwest Austin, so I wouldn't have gotten GF for years if I had stayed there.

If you heard about the failure that was Louisville, the big difference was that they only trenched a mere two inches deep, in a city that tends to get freezing weather in the winter, and filled it with stuff that easily worked its way out of the trench. I'm sure they learned something from that.

I can sort of live with the soldered RAM, but the new twist in recent years is that in newer systems with the "T2" chip, they put the BIOS into the main SSD. Yes, that's right, when (not if) your main SSD wears out, you now have a complete brick. There's reducing cost, and then there's putting an essential function into a component that wears out. It's the worst kind of planned obsolescence, like an automobile that stops working when the seats wear out.

And for fixing it? You just can't get fresh chips from Apple, and they're not standard NAND flash chips anyhow. There's really no excuse for not using industry standard NVMe flash SSDs these days, especially not on their top-of-the-line "Pro" models. If they would just quit that bullshit, I'd start buying from them again.

Or maybe they already had those locations for the purpose of spying, eh, we might as well put the buttcoin mining rigs there.

Especially when they refuse to use SpaceX, at a time when all the other launcher companies with big enough rockets are having troubles. ULA and ESA are running out of rockets because their next generation is taking much longer than planned, and Blue Origin still has no sign of their first launch any time soon. Time is ticking, Amazon only has like two years left to launch a few thousand satellites to meet the first FCC deadline.

This. After blocking most of the usual stupid sources, whether dodgy TLDs or IP blocks of dodgy hosting companies (usually in Europe or the 3rd world), guess where most of my spam comes from now? "Your order has been accepted" phishing spam from gmail. And clearly they don't fucking care.

But if your SPF records are broken, too bad, automatic penalty box for you. A game I play is getting new user sign-up replies to gmail users blocked because apparently they had to change their outbound mail server and whoever did that didn't know to or know how to update the SPF.

Did you see how it changes shape? It's a hybrid of Gundam and Transformers.

But how does it compare to an iPod? I'll bet it at least has wireless and more space than a Nomad.

. . . And when wintertime rolls around, the robot godzillas simply freeze to death.

From the cars in his collection, I can tell that clearly he was trying to Dodge the law.

Well, if you say so, it must be true, because... yeah you're gonna have to show us more than that.
