   @TechConnectify Personally my gripe is scheduling international calls. At four seemingly random points in the year I have to reschedule to match the shifted clocks. And I struggle to keep track of the timezone offset when incorporating DST.

   I'd be happy even if NZ stopped with DST & most other places didn't. Then it'd only be 2 times in the year!

     A short thread about DST which some people probably will not like but I feel like needs to be said:

     So, the clocks right? What do we use them for? Well, we coordinate our schedules around them. Time as we use it now is an entirely human concept, and clocks are just a way to make sure we're all on the same page.

     Clocks don't give a crap about what the sun is doing. We all know this. Sunrise, sunset, and the length of the day all move around with respect to our made-up human clocks.
