Why do you feel the need to make up complete bullshit?

If you think you need all of that to have a job here, then frankly you are completely deluded.

Allow me to answer. Ahem.

Is your paycheck larger?

No, that's Biden's fault.

Did you pay less taxes?

Did you her Kamala's laugh?

are grocery costs lower?

That's Barack HUSSEIN Obama's fault.

Are your utility costs lower?

Her emails and Benghazi made them high.

Did the price of gasoline or diesel decrease?

Yes but Biden did it Trump made money because he's smart

Did you pay less in health insurance?

Bill Clinton got impeached!! Trump's still draining the swamp.

If you needed insurance or healthcare were you able to obtain it?

Get your government hands off my medicare!

What if Obama did the exact same thing?

BOTH SIDES

I keep all my clocks on UTC now. I can't be bothered to change them twice a year.

Yeah mate that's frankly nuts.

Firstly, you have to go to effort to stop you phones and laptops changing their times automatically. Secondly, your clocks are now mismatched from literally everyone around you half the time. 95% of the point of clocks is to synchronise things with other people. That's why we got the concept of centralized time in the first place.

Scotland only has six hours of daylight in the winter - so you're either going to work in the dark or coming home in the dark.

Or both! I'm further south (London) and in the depths of winter I was going to school before sunrise and would often/usually arrive home after sunset. And work is usually longer hours than school.

That actually seems worse than the alternative. If everyone's going to be shuffling times around, just sort it out centrally rather than having a month of incredibly vexing minor synchronisation errors.

Or, you know pick hours for when it makes most sense when there's least sun (winter) and just leave it there?

Not getting any sunlight until past 10.00 AM is so annoying,

Well not getting any sun past 4:30 in the afternoon is also so annoying. I live at the same latitude: the number of hours of sunlight is too short and all you are doing is shuffling it around.

and the cost of road maintenance because rush hours is when everywhere, there is still ice on the roads, will be prohibitive.

You what?

People complaining have simply no clue how it is to have DST in the winter, and can't imagine.

Or maybe people just don't agree with you? Or maybe you also didn't read the article title? The plan was to KEEP DST, so winter is unchanged.

Despite electing a communist mayor in their largest city,

Gosh a Mayor who isn't a drooling right wing nutjob actually representing what people, not coprs want? He must be out to sap and impurify your precious bodily fluid.

As a distant observer, I also like his style. Arseholes tried to block a bike lane, so he made it twice as big. Noice.

If all goes as it should we'll all simply be working less in 10 years time.

That seems phenomenally unlikely. Absolutely vast changes were made to the world of work since the 1970s with the inexorable rise of computing and productivity gains have been vast. And yet the 40 hour work week has remained.

To be honest, I already am.

cool. You are not even slightly the majority in this.

Most of the world is not Northern Canada, which must be where they got that number from. Maine averages 4.55 peak sun hours per day, and is the northereasternmost state in the continental United States. Even Washington state is at 3.95.

Solar panels: The roof of a trailer is about 450 square feet. In the northeastern U.S., you would average only 3.5 hours of full sun, so you'd get only a little over 13 kW per day.

So the solar generation function of a panel is no sun, no power, partial sun, no power, peak sun hours, full power.

Well, I guess that you're the expert.

So in an entire day, covering the entire roof of a trailer with solar panels would add a whopping 7 miles of range

Maybe that's enough to get you over a time zone or so so that you get an extra hour of "full sun"? ;)

After all, it's not like trailers are ever sitting idle during loading, unloading, or waiting for loads. Always moving, doncha know.

Once and for all people: "it's" (with an apostrophe) is a contraction of "it is." "its" is the possessive pronoun, which was intended here.

Yes, it is. Now think of the rule for possessives with every other type of noun (ordinary and proper) - " 's ". It's like the "i" before "e" except after "c" (and sometimes "y") rule, irregular verbs, and a host of other landmines in writing down the English language.

It doesn't help that there's a group of people actively miseducating kids about pronouns and demonizing references to them. His, hers, its, yours, theirs, and ours are all bricks paving the shoulder of the road to hell.

They can take their robotaxis, scooters, ebikes and everything else with them.

Nah, the dockess ebikes are really popular for good reasons.

I mean sure lots of people complain bitterly about them "taking up space" but somehow the 40% of people gifted land for free car storage in my part of London never get a mention in this whole "taking up space" argument.

Lime isn't 100% without problems, but providing effective, theft resistant, low impact point to point transport when the rest of the options are often stuck in slow moving traffic clogged by a shockingly small number of private cars works well. Our society won't yet distribute space more equitably apparently.

And not everyone is a low income disabled plumber urgently rushing their elderly fridge to hospital.

Oh yeah and even with all the dockless ebike problems, they are still vastly safer than cars.

I have been quite happy with my heavily customized FVWM desktop for about 30 years now.

Same! It's just really good.

I have not yet switched over to fvwm3. I do not anticipate much pain.

Two tier policing is alive and well in the UK.

It is: right wing protests get the ultimate in soft touch policing, especially farmers. Protestors causing similar disruption but aligned left get massively harsh sentences. This two tier policing absolutely needs to end and the police need to crack down as hard on the right as they do on the left.

That way maybe the right will stop advocating for it.

...facial recognition will alert shop owners when a compulsive buyer enters, so that he/she can be approached at once by shopping assistants.

What shopping assistants? They got rid of all of them which incidentally along with a bunch of other "cost saving" measures made shoplifting much easier.
