Yeah when I said five is dumb, what I meant is that three is probably right. East, central and west makes sense. The Queensland vs. the rest of the East and Northern Territory vs. South Australia conflicts during DST are just, why.

The guitar riff in this intro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3J_2R9rAp8 is not from a Led Zepplin song. For years I could never figure out what song it was. In my defense, it does sound like something Jimmy Page would rip off, and I couldn't remember what the singing or drums sounded like. It's definitely not a Jon Bonham joint.

Pare means to cut the skin off something, like an apple or an orange. NOT cut something in half to make two parts, to make a 'pair'.

I guess "friendship knives" are exactly that: like a heart pendant that breaks in two so you can give the other half to someone you care about.

Huh. You can text the same person you are talking to over the phone. I don't know why I thought you couldn't or how it would be useful outside of one situation. We were talking about being in a phone conversation with someone who never lets a word in. Text, "*raises hand*, you wanna say something.

It’s also easy to send pictures to make sure you’re talking about the same thing, say when needing or giving help on DIY, troubleshooting, etc...

Issue with Queensland and daylight savings is people in Mt Isa would be driving their kids to school in the dark. So you'd have to consider splitting the state into 2 timezones

Which was the original reason behind daylight savings in the first place - making sure rural kids didn't have to go to school in the dark. Road safety being a literal order of magnitude better than it was back when daylight savings was introduced means that that's probably fine.

As someone who lives in Queensland there's nothing wrong with the idea of firing everything north of Brisbane into the sun and turning DST on in the southeast.

Who decided that changing every clock made more sense than just going to school at different hours? Get rid of daylight savings AND time zones IMO.

The first guy to propose daylight saving time wanted more daylight to collect bugs. The second guy wanted more hours to play golf. The first countries to do it, did it because of wartime rationing of light sources. The children in the dark was an argument against using DST year round in 1974.

My oldest gets on the bus at 7:15am, my youngest goes to school at 8:45am. One gets home at about 3:30pm, the other at around 4:25pm. Good thing that my wife works early and I work late. That way we never get to see each-other. School scheduling makes no sense. Eventually, we'll be able to just let our kids take care of themselves. Just not quite yet. "Latch-key kids" was what they called it back in the day.
