    The 04:30 sunrise was a hilarious thing to get used to. But summer sunsets are not inconvenient and winter sunsets feel the same as they were in the US

    Growing up in south Texas, I was more bothered by it still being daylight at 9PM during the summers.

    I don’t mind keeping the whole country within a single time zone. It’s never going to be perfect for everybody, but it’s close enough.

      I work outside doing farming and it sucks to have to wake up at like 3am in summer to not die to the heat (and then work my other job after which can run later)

      The whole switching clocks thing is a mindfuck in Texas. Summer it’s daylight at 9 pm. Winter it’s dark at 5 pm. That’s a four hour spread exacerbated by the time change.
