Daylight saving time. Again.

Apparently, we’re still doing this whole daylight saving time silliness. Fine, ok.
If you live in one of the unfortunate places that changes the clocks, set them forward at 02:00 local time Sunday morning.
Myth: Daylight saving time saves energy.
Fact: No, it doesn’t. At best, it simply results in a shift in when energy is consumed.
Myth: There’s no real downside to switching to daylight saving time.
Fact: More people are injured or killed in the week following the time change than usual.
Either of those is a good reason to end the madness and pick one time and stick to it going forward. I’d prefer to stick with DST, but I’m at the point where I don’t care — just pick one.
