#MakeDSTpermanent

Despite the science (recent
@theeconomist report), I am all in favor of making Daylight Saving Time permanent: in winter, it will be dark in most states anyway for most people when getting back from work. In early and late summer, one hour more gives you some weeks more to enjoy an evening swim in daylight, etc.

So, for once, I can agree with the #OrangePeril on something.

Earlier this morning, U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday called on Congress to make daylight saving time permanent and end the twice yearly practice of switching clocks.


Let's take a moment to remember the guy who made sure we don't have to change Every Goddamn Clock today, David L. Mills, creator of Network Time Protocol (NTP) who passed last year.

My wristwatch is synced to my phone, which is synced to the internet, which knows that time it is right now thanks to David Mills. Cheers to his memory πŸ₯ƒ
