    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.

      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.
