There is no need to go through the stupidest ritual of modern life next weekend. More daylight is coming this month without the foolishness of changing our clocks. @SaveStandard Time!

Brighter days ahead! ☀️ Northern areas, including Seattle, gain over 100 minutes of daylight in March! While daylight saving time begins on March 8, the month's biggest change is the rapid increase in daylight. bit.ly/4snpLeq

Very disappointed with @Uber whilst traveling in Scandinavia & the Baltics. None of our 6 normal payment methods would work for any member of my family, and ultimately had to give up and book via a newly-downloaded eastern European competitor.

That settles it, we need a law to quit changing the clocks. Actually we just need to repeal the law that began this nonsense.

Which of these best describes your opinion on whether we should keep changing the clocks twice per year? If you want to quit changing the clocks, do you have a preference of which time to settle on?

It is about time we rid ourselves of the clock-changing madness. Dumb to lie to ourselves about what time it actually is. @SaveStandard time!

"...a little..." (storage) is doing FAR too much work in that tweet.

But nuclear?! Solar is nuclear, dummy. Just happens to be far-field nuclear: Cheap, abundant, simple and quick to turn on and when you combine it with a little storage, it’s always-on.

If possible and true, this is some very good news.

We found a way to expand passenger rail across America without laying a single track. Dreamstar Lines uses underutilized freight capacity to run passenger trains across thousands of miles of existing rail infrastructure We’ve secured a memorandum of understanding with Union Pacific to operate on the LA -> SF corridor one of the highest-demand rail routes in the country, with plans for this route to launch service on the eve of the 2028 Olympics. This is just the beginning. We plan to expand these partnerships across the most important corridors in America. In just a decade, Americans will have a well deserved alternative to flying or driving in the medium distance. Once and for all we will Make Trains Great Again.

Sundar & Karin G. Johnson Background The impact of circadian misalignment on patients with migraine due to clock transitions is not well understood. Our study investigated the immediate effects of standard time (ST) to daylight saving time (DST) transition on sleep and headaches in patients with migraines. Methods In this prospective observational study, 23 adults with episodic migraine were followed for 4 weeks (2 weeks before and 2 weeks after ST-DST transition on March 12, 2023).

RIP to my favorite Presidents Day fun fact. John Tyler, our 10th president, had a grandson alive until last May. John had a son while in his 60s. That son had a kid while in his 70s. And that kid, Harrison Tyler, passed away last year at age 96. So… New fun fact: John was born during Washington administration. So 3 generations of Tylers span EVERY PRESIDENCY IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

@BurtMaclin_FBIFeb 14
I’m not the least bit surprised that a country that tries to pass off ham circles as “bacon” would try to cheat in the Winter Olympics. All of you who wanted them to be the 51st state should be ashamed of yourselves.

Given that paper books, paper business records, and even magnetic storage of such things are going out of fashion in favor of the cloud... When the Internet crashes, will that be analogous to the Library of Alexandria burning?

"worsening" is doing a lot of work in that headline. Thus our present government couldn't have known. Serious winter storms have always hit KY... The problem is that these events in KY are simultaneously *regular* but also *infrequent*. Budgets get cut in-between.
