Daylight Saving Time Gripe Assistant Tool
A handy tool to help make your case when whining about a biannual time change, following earlier explorations of the geography of DST effects. Tip: rotate to landscape mode if you're looking at this on a mobile device. Measuring if—and how much—DST sucks for you While my earlier map was interesting...
Kind of neat.

@boomzilla shouldn't there be more jokes in this thread?

@Gribnit you're here now!

The biggest joke is the Ameri-centric outlook it has of the problem, as though there aren't other countries affected, full of would-be-happy but solar-deprived souls.

The horrors of nonpartisanship: Due to a lack of partisan rancor, the Senate just passed year-round DST, which already flopped in 1974
As we\'ve all been told, it\'s terrible that Congress is gridlocked by partisanship, compared to the good old days when wise solons would come together across the chasm of party and make laws for the benefit of all. Well, it turns out, there is one controversial issue that is, as far as anybody can...

Yay, we haven't derationalized arbitrary indexing choices yet?
Apparently, the real winner here is me. Using yonder tool, I calibrated for a 9am wake-up and corresponding 9pm sunset. This indicated for DST across the nation year-long.
