Yes. Standard time is the more accurate solution. Then it will be approximately noon when the sun is at its highest instead of off by at least an hour during daylight savings. Daylight savings was invented by people screwing around with nature…probably similar to those pushing the whole climate crisis BS.

With regard to "Judeo Christian": The 10 Commandments are Jewish. The great stories of the Old Testament are Jewish. The Jews developed the idea of subsidiarity as the alternative to tyranny and slavery. The Jews established the cultural preconditions for the rise of universal literacy. The fate of Israel at the hands of the Islamists is the fate of the West. This rising tide of anti-semitism sickens me. Those of you engaging in it for your oh-so-moral reasons—you're despicable. And remember, you proud "Christians" objecting in all your purity to the term: Christ Himself was a Jew.
Wes Huff@WesleyLHuff

So much noise online regarding the term "judeo-Christian." Guys -- in academia it's simply the term that describes the combined corpus of Old and New Testaments. The Jewish heritage of the Hebrew scriptures combined with the New Testament. That's it. I know you want there to be some conspiracy but there isnt, that's the way we're using it. It has nothing to do with geo-politics or a one world order.

Disrupted sleep cycles caused by the time change cause: 1) 10% increase in car accidents for the first few weeks of the time change. 2) Increase in heart attacks and strokes after the time change 3) more workplace injuries 4) Increase in depression, anxiety, etc
Dave's Not Here@Weirddave0

@ShamashAran Honest question: Why? The time change makes perfect sense to me, adjust the clock twice a year so that "midday" is roughly at the height of sunlight. Diurnal humans function off the sun. Why not adjust "time" so we can do that efficiently. I don't understand hate for that process

While the arguments you've made are persuasive (and changed my mind about Permanent DST) I care more about eliminating the time change completely, regardless of which direction. The time change causes far worse issues than you describe, and eliminating it, even in a less optimal way, is still good policy.
Roger Seheult, MD@RogerSeheult

🚨🚨🚨🚨Today the U.S. House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, advancing legislation that would make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide. This is the biggest legislative step this issue has taken in years but it is not law. The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate, where there is still an opportunity for it to be debated, amended, or rejected. If you care about health and circadian biology, this is the time to speak up. The scientific case against permanent DST has become increasingly strong: • Morning light is the most powerful signal for synchronizing the human circadian clock. • Permanent DST delays sunrise for much of the year, especially in winter, reducing exposure to morning light when our brains need it most. • Later sunrises are associated with chronic circadian misalignment, sleep loss, poorer mood, reduced alertness, and increased cardiometabolic risk. • Studies comparing western versus eastern portions of time zones consistently show worse health outcomes where people experience later sunrises despite sharing the same clock time. • The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and numerous sleep and circadian experts recommend permanent Standard Time, not permanent DST, as the option that best aligns with human biology. The argument for permanent DST is largely one of convenience and preference for lighter evenings. The argument for permanent Standard Time is one of physiology and public health. If you believe our laws should reflect the best available scientific evidence, now is the time to respectfully contact your U.S. Senators. Tell them that while ending the twice-yearly clock changes is a worthy goal, permanent Daylight Saving Time is not the healthiest solution. Ask them instead to support permanent Standard Time, which preserves the morning light our circadian system depends on. Please REPOST this. The Senate has not yet voted, and informed voices can still make a difference. @LeaderJohnThune is the Senate majority leader that will determine when this legislation comes to the Senate for debate. He should know how you feel.

As usual Stephen King is a lying ass drama queen. His book isn’t “banned” in Utah. It is on the list of books that aren’t appropriate for public school libraries. And he cites two stories out of four that are about friendship and courage (and prison rape) but be leaves off the third story about a Nazi war criminal teaching a psycho teenager how to rape, torture, and murder people. All these liberals do is lie, moralize, and play victim.

In 1948, a young American pilot gave two sticks of gum to a group of German children behind a barbed-wire fence. What happened next helped America win the Cold War. June 1948. Berlin. Stalin has blockaded the city. Two million people are cut off from food, fuel, and heat — the Soviets are trying to starve them into submission. America's answer: fly EVERYTHING in. Coal. Flour. Milk. Medicine. A plane lands every 90 seconds, day and night. One of those pilots is Lt. Gail Halvorsen — a 27-year-old farm kid from Utah. On his day off, he walks over to Tempelhof Airport and finds 30 German children watching the planes through a barbed-wire fence. He braces himself. Everywhere else in war-torn Europe, kids had swarmed him begging: "Any gum, chum?" These kids don't ask for anything. They just want to know one thing: "Please don't stop the airlift. Please don't leave us." Halvorsen checks his pockets. Two sticks of Wrigley's gum. Thirty kids. Two sticks of gum. He hands them through the fence and waits for the fight. There is no fight. The kids break the gum into tiny pieces. The ones who don't get a piece pass around the empty foil wrappers — just to smell it. Halvorsen breaks. Right there at the fence. "I'll drop more from my plane tomorrow," he blurts out. A kid asks: "How will we know which plane is yours?" He tells them he'll wiggle the wings. That night he ties candy bars to handkerchiefs, makes tiny parachutes, and stuffs them in his C-54. The next day, on approach to Tempelhof, he wiggles his wings — and drops chocolate from the sky. The kids named him Uncle Wiggly Wings. Word spread. His crew donated rations. Then his whole squadron. Then Hershey sent candy by the truckload. American schoolkids mailed in handkerchiefs. His superiors were furious — he'd broken regulations. Then they saw the headlines and shut up. By the end of the airlift, American pilots had dropped 23 tons of candy under 250,000 parachutes over Berlin. The Soviets tried to starve a city. America dropped chocolate from the sky. Gail Halvorsen died in 2022, at 101 years old. At his memorial, elderly Germans — the children from behind that fence, now in their 80s — flew across the ocean to say goodbye to Uncle Wiggly Wings. He always said the same thing about that day at Tempelhof: "The small things you do turn into great things."

Discriminating against doctors based on their race makes absolute perfect sense once you realize that the medical schools discriminate in favor of incompetent future doctors based on their race.

I knew it. I saw in a dream I had at Fort Huachuca that she flew to the prison in an Egyptian plane piloted by a French Jew in a maroon shirt. Also, dinosaurs weren't real and we bombed Japan in WW2 to target Catholics. I'm only asking questions.

In “Apt Pupil,” also in this collection, the main character has a wet dream where he sexually violates a Jewish concentration camp prisoner while torturing her at the same time. This is not “banned.” It is “not purchased by government schools.” Stop whining.

@gorgalog @SCShipyards Good world building is when the author knows enough about the world to stay consistent as they reveal more and more of it, and they don't break versimilitude. The longer the work the more that needs to be worked out to succeed.

One thing many people fail to realise about wordbuilding in a story is it doesnt have to be in depth thought out. For example you can make the world feel bigger uust by having a throwaway line like "X character is from the fringes of Y planet" and dont need to go more in depth if said planet wont be mentioned again. And unfortuantly MANY people think that 'good worldbuilding' is when you have every tiny detail thought out in advance when good worldbuilding is simply just making the universe feel bigger than it is

It's still hilarious to us that humies diddle with their clocks twice an orbit as if it does anything other than increase strokes & heart attacks, traffic accidents, workplace injuries, and depressive symptoms. We don't really care what time you choose, just stop being dumb.

BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.

My bold stance on the Nolan's Odyssey is that I don't really care. I'm not really into his stuff. He's made some movies I liked (Inception, Memento, Prestige), movies I haven't gotten around to seeing (most of them), and movies that I was like WTF is the sound on the dialog so bad, is that on purpose? (Tenet, Dark Knight Rises). And absolutely nothing in the Odyssey trailers makes me want to watch it, so it'll likely go into that middle bucket of meh, maybe I'll get around to it someday. It has been enjoyable watching my history expert and art history professor friends going off about how inaccurate everything is though. It is like being a gun guy watching any action flick. The casting choices feel like a dumb stunt Oscarbait, but I'm burned out on caring about Hollywood doing crap like that. Hollywood's gonna Hollywood. If they had any balls they'd something like Jason Statham as Shaka Zulu, or really embrace the whole diversity thing and not just for likable hero characters because a serious WW2 drama with Terry Crews as Hitler would be hilarious and amazing. On the modern dialog, weird choice. Regardless of historical accuracy audiences expect their epics to speak Tolkien English. Will this matter? Don't know. Depends on how good the dialog is. And if it is like Tenet or Dark Knight it won't matter because it'll just be "mumblemumble mumble hmmm" anyway. :D But anyways, meh. I'm sure it'll still make a bunch of money because everybody involved is famous and most customers aren't terminally online, but it'll make less money that it could have without the weird choices. And me personally I'll watch it if I'm on an airplane or something and Die Hard isn't available. So basically this post is the extent of my passion for this week's controversial pop culture subject.

Viking History
Viking History@Vikinghistory·
Odysseus sails home in a Viking ship. The vessel in Nolan’s Odyssey is Draken Harald Hårfagre, the largest Viking ship built in modern times. Built in Haugesund, Norway. Named after Harald Fairhair, our first king. The Odyssey is set around 1200 BC. Ships like this appeared around 800 AD. The Viking Age is closer to us today than to Odysseus. Homer’s ships were black, low, open galleys, light enough to be dragged onto the beach at night. Not a 35-meter dragon ship built for the North Atlantic. A sailing reconstruction of a Mycenaean warship already exists: the Argo, 50 oars, built in Volos, Greece. Nolan filmed in Greece. He still picked the Viking ship. This week Draken sails down the Norwegian coast to the Oslo premiere. She will be the most authentic thing on screen. She is 2,000 years off.
