    Hating daylight savings isn't weird, it's dumb and everyone knows it's dumb.

    Timezones are arbitrary lines on the map that were made when trains were new and there was no good way to coordinate otherwise. We are way past that, everyone has an automatically synced and precise way of telling time on them pretty much at all times. The "time" is an arbitrary number. Noon is not when the sun is highest in the sky most of the year unless you live near the equator, midnight is rarely "the middle of the night", 9 to 5 should be deleted, and have one universal time would be one step closer to uniting human kind.

    Timezones are fucking dumb, it's not the 1800s. I'll fight to the death over this.

      I've never really forgiven him for normalizing electronic drums.

        If everyone in the world was on one universal time, some people would be functioning in the dark while people on the other side of the world are functioning in the daylight. Not fair. Time zones are essential. And yes, in most places in the world, 12:00 p.m. is when the sun is highest in the sky.

          Why would they be working in the dark? They'd still get up in the morning, go to work, come home in the evening, etc.... just the number on the clock would be different

              Huh, no?
              There's a literal trumpet at the end of the book series. Like the musical instrument. It's incredibly dumb.

              Edit: I'm almost certain Stephen King hates Trump.

                Right, i forgot about that. That's how memorable the ending was, for me.

                  Yeah it's really bad. Your gripe is justified in my eyes.

                    There’s surprisingly a fair bit of overlap on the gear ratios of a 2 or 3x that makes a 1x11 or 12 have a similar range of ratios. However you do have to sacrifice either a bit of top end speed or climbing ability so you see a few more 2x on road bikes. I’ve never found myself wanting more from my 1x mtb drivetrain

                    Wait, you said a 1x can have a similar range, and then immediately followed up with:

                    you do have to sacrifice either a bit of top end speed or climbing ability

                    It is impossible for both statements to be true at the same time.

                      Or some differences in gear spacing. I’m not an expert in it, but tried my best to summarize a succinctly as possible
