The Oregon Senate has passed a bill establishing permanent Daylight Saving Time in the state, and the Governor has signaled she supports the effort. If it passes the House (and possibly the US Congress, it is a bit ambiguous to me), it could end the semi-annual resetting of clocks which causes so much annoyance and increase of injury and deaths.
Personally speaking, I'd rather it settled on permanent Standard time than Daylight time, but as long as it is steady I think it's better than the current regime.

Fear not comrade. He will be assigned appropriate work in the mines, come the revolution.

He's already living lower down, so it might be a upgrade. But he's sleazy enough to get work in the gold or diamond mines and smuggle some out. He'll jamb nuggets and diamonds in his sores. Nobody will want to look there.

Lol look at the hypocrite! You gotta be an alt of Runaway's, keep chiming in when people correct him. Sure they are nitpicky but not wrong, which makes you a triggered jackass.
About what I expect from conservative engineers, self important "geniuses" who get upset easily. Mega MAGA if you will.
