    Change is hard. In Europe we wanted to drop daylight saving time, but nobody could agree on which hour to keep. So it’s here to stay. Sigh.

      Is it really? I thought it was just postponed. Or do you say it juat because it seems to be always postponing

        Maybe I’m too pessimistic.
        The parliament voted to abolish them in 2019, but instead of agreeing on a specific time, or discussing it at the council level, they polled each country individually. We got incoherent results, obviously, and I don’t think any progress has been made since then.
        Admittedly they had bigger fish to fry, so maybe once the covid and the war are over, it’ll get sorted out.

        Actually no. This year was the last spring forward, at least for the US. We’re not falling back to standard time this year and never will again.

          Leave it to the US to, in the choice between a “standard” thing and an off-standard thing to choose the off-standard option.
