DST is fucking stupid. Also, before someone claims DST is because of Farmers/Ranchers, that is not true. It takes you 5 seconds to look it up.

From the post:

>Switching to permanent standard time would prevent about 300,000 cases of stroke per year and result in 2.6 million fewer people with obesity, researchers estimate in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Permanent daylight saving time also would improve the nation’s health, but only by about two-thirds of the expected effect from permanent standard time, researchers say. In other words, the United States has made the worst choice possible for the nation’s health by seasonally waffling between “falling back” and “springing forward,” researchers concluded.

We don't change time in Arizona. I've lived in a ton of places. It's nice to not have to worry about it. Everyone else at work from Cali and Washington are zonky for a while after time changes. It's also nice to have our servers in the AZ data center so we don't have to change time for our interfaces and stuff like for the Cali and Nevada servers.

I f-ing hate the time change. It takes me at least 2 weeks to get used to it every time and its just a pain in the ass in general.

Also, why are your servers not using UTC? There is no DST in UTC.

Indians are retarded. The software we use is retarded and coded by Indians. It's all a mess.
