Please note that in the text I quoted, only satellite relativistic corrections were listed, and those have nothing to do with particle physics.

"Don't forget GPS satellite relativistic corrections!"

That came from studying Special Relativity, not Particle Physics. A completely different branch of physics altogether.

So...there's really a shed that people build to store bicycles?

Again, is this a European thing? I've never heard of a shed dedicated to storing bikes....I can see this is brewing used as an analogy for something else, but the shed/bike concept itself is foreign to me.

Most people rarely ever change a time zone....a good number never leave the one they are born into....

All you constraints you advise are reasonable. I have no problem with "socialization of risk" ... as there IS nothing else, but social wants/needs. i would of-course strongly limit :"privatization of benefits".  Wealthy workers can  with great effort reclaim enshitified land. Citizens of my home-town of Scranton Pa got screwed-over by the mining interests, who took their profits from raping the beautiful valley ...  ditched the miners ... and left town. Scranton never recovered, and I suspect the same will be true for those providing energy/land for the LLM-farms.

Finally, a sane voice among the noise! The arguments about "which" time we keep are slowly killing us all from inaction year after year after year. "Perfect is the enemy of good".

I seriously couldn't care less if we go to permanent standard time, permanent DST, or hell, just ditch time zones altogether and go to permanent global UTC. It makes no difference whatsoever whether we wake up at 6am EST, 7am EDT, or 11am UTC, they're all the same damned thing from a biological perspective.

The only approach that isn't perfectly fine is resetting the clocks multiple times each year because some morons can't stand the idea of waking up at "2:30am" even though that's still roughly their local dawn.

You know what's aligned even more with circadian biology? Just redefine local noon as always solar noon.

Ditch the half-assed system we have now, get up off your ass, and change your clocks once a day without whinging like a precious snowflake.

Home and hobby users already have such an "efficient" system. My Debian-13 / MATE / Librewolf system running on  10 Y/O XEON-1240 / GF 3050 and 24-Gig DDR3 barely uses 15% of RAM during active surfing. Eight-cores are mostly asleep. I'd guess many of us non-gamers  have skipped the "RAMpocalypse". Granted , I'm on a slow WiFi network.

Like many stories...the answer is:

"Well...it seemed like a good idea at the time...."

What the fuck is a bike shed?

Never heard of one or seen one before...is this a European thing?

What is left to change besides oven and microwave times?

One...the most IMPORTANT one....my internal clock....

That really takes close to a week to get fixed every time.....it throws all of us humans off to some degree.

Oh...and my dog....I have to adjust her schedule twice a year too....

It probably makes more sense for ST....but as far as I'm concerned....

JUST PICK ONE AND STICK WITH IT....

I want to quit the damned changing in my lifetime.

A well-spoken argument ...  and to be balanced against the human desire for warmth in  icy winter and coolness in  roasting summer. Those are health,  productivity & agency  issues, crucial to risk/reward judgement, and  even more basic than toxic radiation. Stated crudely ... live like a savage or < threat of > die by radiation poisoning ... or coal-smoke ... of frack-contaminated water ... or three weeks of no sun & no wind ... or a huge solar-flare that takes out all common energy-producing electronics.  Indeed: the only case worth considering is the "worst case" ... because that's the one that kills you.  Thus ...  those  few who live unaccustomed to physical risk are poor judges of energy sourcing options.

"I'm writing a book on Jeffrey Dahmer...

I remember reading a history book about the Battle of Midway (No, I don't remember the name any more.) that mentioned that the IJN ran on Tokyo Time no matter where they were. As the fleet included transports carrying soldiers to invade Midway after "dealing" with the USN, the soldiers, mostly poorly educated peasants, were left wondering why the sun was rising at 3 AM. Now, imagine what it would be like for children who never bothered to go to school if we try year-round DST again. That's not an argument against the idea, just an observation about one of the side effects of doing so.
