If the 300m people lived in the same area and you got a true random sample.

Sunsets at 9:09 today in Michigan

Sunsets at 8:04 today in California

Sunsets at 8:34 today in North Carolina

Sunsets at 7:57 today in Alabama

Sunsets at 7:38 today in Arizona (They are on standard time)

Sunsets at 7:13 today in Hawaii

Sunsets at 11:36 today in Alaska

Someone in Arizona might want the sun to set at 7:38. It’s blazing hot all day.

Someone in Michigan might be fine with sunsetting at 8:08 with standard time.

Someone in Alabama might not want the sun to set at 6:57.

Someone in Hawaii probably doesn’t want the sun to set at 6:13.

Even if you split up the 1000 people to equally represent all states, that’s only 20 people per state.

Ahh, yes, 1002 people is a large sample size, like .003% of the population.

Your article is also about switching. Doesn’t say anything about if people would prefer to stay on DST or standard time.

“Summer time” is DST

If you removed DST, we would always be on standard time.

What you are saying is make DST permanent, not removing DST

Why do you want the sun to set early?

I’d rather have an extra hour of sun after work than an hour of sun before work

I think most people enjoy DST. Most complain when it’s dark at 5 pm.

I remembered it wrong. He wasn’t doing laundry. He was pouring concrete into the guy’s washing machine.

No idea what that guy did to deserve a messed up washing machine.

“You ever use the gentle cycle?” Absolutely hilarious /s

You have to have grown up with it and gained an unconditional love of the characters. You don’t care that they are an asshole to a character you don’t like.

Look at Kramer he is so stupid he can’t figure out a washing machine! Lol he’s going to try to pour a bunch of detergent in next and act like he’s drunk because he’s that stupid! He’s so funny!

Edit: Remembered it wrong. He was pouring concrete into the washing machine. Classic asshole

It was always played with a keyboard. No one is ever slaping a bass

Can confirm

“How’d you get your last name?” Is almost always brought up when I say it.

I’m a second generation Mexican/Finnish mix with a strong southern accent.

Having to mark my skin color down on the paper and then having to mark Hispanic in another place is common place.

Funny how Scandinavian is never an option. I’m as much Scandinavian as Hispanic.

Racism is weird.

“Can you pass me the bag of plastic blocks?”

Not

“Can you pass me the bag of Legos”

If you wanted a box of adhesive bandages. You’d say “Can you pass me the box of band-aids?” or a tissue, “Can you pass me a kleenex?”

Companies do not want their brand to become generic trademarks.

It’s not because Lego is already pural

“I have many Lego blocks”

Not

“I have many Lego”

That’s the whole difference between torx vs Phillips.

Theoretically, you should never break a screw shaft with Phillips because they are designed to cam out before enough torque is applied to break the shaft of the screw.

It’s supposed to be a feature

So you’re okay with sending someone to a work camp if “they probably did it, more than likely”? Because at least it’s reversible…

So what if they have to spend 10 years breaking rocks in the sun. Oopsie daisies

That’s why death penalty shouldn’t exist for crimes like a wife killing a husband. You might be 99.9% sure she poisoned him, but you cannot know for sure.

However, a school shooter caught red handed shooting a school?

Some crimes and scenarios can warrant the death penalty in my mind

Next argument is “what if the government framed people to execute them?”

Why in the world would the government point out that they are executing someone?

If the government (the rich controlled government) wants you dead they would do it quietly.

Even something as simple as cutting your brake lines. You really think local police are going to figure out that the government had soldier 65478 tamper with your brake lines?

Sending someone to a work camp is more humane than taking their life?
