While some of you enjoyed the Halloween holiday, here's an important fact that some may have forgot in the midst of their sugar (or other substance) highs: :siren:[i]Daylight Savings Time ended last night, you're should have put your clocks back [b]1 hour[/b] last night at [b]2AM[/b], so change them now if you forgot.[/i]:siren: [b]Advantages:[/b] You'll get up for work / school at the correct time It's brighter in the early morning (until winter hits). You gain an extra hour to do whatever. (sleep, game, :flashfap:, etc.) [b]Disadvantages:[/b] You've gotta go around and set all the goddamn clocks in the house while cursing. [IMG]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/rating/clock.png[/IMG] It takes longer to set digital clocks (more button-mashing :f5:) than in the spring. If you forget to modify the clocks, then you will be an hour early to EVERYTHING (which may be good or bad). Higher chance of heart attacks and other stress-related aliments. It's fucking dark at 5PM. Winter will be here soon. :ohdear::derp::derp::derp: You do not need to adjust your computer clock if it syncs up to a time server.

Weird, over here in Europe we set them back last week. Could somebody enlighten me on the subject?
I guess it's a way to save energy or something. I have no clue. This might help. [quote]Daylight saving time (DST; also summer time in British English—see Terminology) is the practice of advancing clocks so that afternoons have more daylight and mornings have less.[/quote]

My clock is a smartass that resets itself.
The only clocks I ever use are the ones in the bottom-right corner of my PC screen, and the one on my phone, both reset themselves
Oh yes, an extra hour of sleep!
Arizona follows no daylight savings? What, the actual fuck. Why not?
Europe did it before it was cool :smugspike:
I like early nights.
[quote]Higher chance of heart attacks and other stress-related aliments.[/quote] Wait, what? I hope in the future, we can get a remote that will set our clocks for us.
I really hate getting home from school at 2:00 and seeing sundown a few hours later.
thanks [editline]02:30PM[/editline] i lold at people who rated him clock
Woo hoo! An extra hour of sleep.
I love living in Arizona. No need to find and set all the clocks.
[QUOTE=postmanX3;18115090]Woo hoo! An extra hour of sleep.[/QUOTE] Not really its all balanced
Haha, I don't have to set my clocks back an hour because Saskatchewan doesn't follow DST. So all the channels on TV are an hour behind normal schedules.
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;18115111]I love living in Arizona. No need to find and set all the clocks.[/QUOTE]Which means anyone traveling through Arazona doesn't have the correct time!
[QUOTE=Sottalytober;18115111]I love living in Arizona. No need to find and set all the clocks.[/QUOTE] I hope you enjoy your darkness, even though it doesn't even really matter.
My clock does everything on its own so I don't really care :c00l: [editline]06:50PM[/editline] it even reads me a bedtime story
[QUOTE=The Epidemic;18115192]My clock does everything on its own so I don't really care :c00l: [editline]06:50PM[/editline] it even reads me a bedtime story[/QUOTE] which one?
w00t AZ ftw!
Fuck, I'll be getting home from physics class in the dark.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;18110874]My clock is a smartass that resets itself.[/QUOTE] Atomic Clock, huh? I got one of those hanging on the wall above my monitors. Even got a VCR, but it set itself a [b]week[/b] before DST is ending.
Thanks for the heads up OP
Thanks for the reminder :D extra hour for fapping :smug:
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18115706]Fuck, I'll be getting home from physics class in the dark.[/QUOTE] Same thing with my Calc II class. It's going to suck.
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;18115706]Fuck, I'll be getting home from physics class in the dark.[/QUOTE] use physics to find your way home
