This isn't "trolling". Just because you are one of the whiners does not make it trolling. There is no -1 disagree, or -1 I hate facts.

The reality is that outside of a vocal majority of nerds on slashdot who come out twice a year to whine about how DST raped and killed their sisters (i.e. the real trolls), most people do not have any strong opinions on it.

Having been to Tenerife, I can safely claim that the Brits already have it.

That's offensive!!

They prefer to be called "little" planets.

What an obvious load of crap.

How many timeshares do you "own"?

I don't even chew gum so I have no skin in the game. Sure, the "researchers" tried to correct for other, potential, single, possibly stronger correlates, but that is scientifically just one baby step beyond the headline. Now if they actually did dissect people and find the xylitol deposits as you suggest, that would be actual science in action.

Then the researchers should be focusing on that, instead of simply blasting out another nearly meaningless nutritional statistical correlation study.

My comment was obviously too difficult for you to grasp. You response implies a reverse causality as a counter argument yet no one, least of all me, makes such a claim.

"Associated with" means correlation without causation.

For charges of terrorism and child sexual anything, prosecutors know that they do not need to present any factual evidence. There mere accusation is enough to convict.

Exactly. It is only the middle latitudes for which DST makes sense. On the equator? Every day of the year has exactly 12 hours of daylight. Near the poles? The shift in say length is so rapid that it only makes sense for a short period.

"Designed by the European Union. Assembled in China"?

We approved $10 billion, not $33 billion.

I could never figure out any purpose for this or similar devices, nor how to get around the ridiculousness of wearing one (although Apple did make a valiant effort).
