What the Fark???

Re: What the Fark???

There's a Mini Cooper running around here with a crank on the back that makes it look like a wind-up toy.

Apparently this is a thing.

Yup. That's the one.

Anyone who puts that on their car should be beaten with a shovel.

So I finally get to see some daylight as I'm catching the train....and then come Monday morning I'll be plunged back into morning darkness again. I liked it much better when Daylight Savings Time started on the last Sunday in April...or even when it started on the first Sunday in April, for that matter.

History of DST in US:

Although standard time in time zones was instituted in the U.S. and Canada by the railroads in 1883, it was not established in U.S. law until the Act of March 19, 1918, sometimes called the Standard Time Act. The act also established daylight saving time, a contentious idea then. Daylight saving time was repealed in 1919, but standard time in time zones remained in law. Daylight time became a local matter. It was re-established nationally early in World War II, and was continuously observed from 9 February 1942 to 20 September 1945. After the war its use varied among states and localities. The Uniform Time Act of 1966 provided standardization in the dates of beginning and end of daylight time in the U.S. but allowed for local exemptions from its observance. The act provided that daylight time begin on the last Sunday in April and end on the last Sunday in October, with the changeover to occur at 2 a.m. local time. During the "energy crisis" years, Congress enacted earlier starting dates for daylight time. In 1974, daylight time began on 6 January and in 1975 it began on 23 February. After those two years the starting date reverted back to the last Sunday in April. In 1986, a law was passed permanently shifting the starting date of daylight time to the first Sunday in April, beginning in 1987.

Starting in 2007, most of the United States and Canada observe DST from the second Sunday in March to the first Sunday in November. The change was part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and Congress retains the right to go back to the previous dates once an energy consumption study is done.

Love the comments section.

Of course this would be a problem for a drug/gun runner, otherwise known as future democrat voting bloc, as they probably doesn't reads so good.......and they're quite lazy.

Every White country on the planet is forced to become multicultural and multiracial.

EVERY white country is told to end its own race and culture.

No one asks that of ANY non-White country. Immigration and forced-assimilation is for ALL & ONLY White countries.

Anti-Whites call themselves "anti-racist", but their words & actions lead to the genocide of only one group: White people.

The true goal of anti-racism is to genocide my people.

Anti-racist is a codeword for anti-White.

Re: What the Fark???

So I'm sitting on the train, gazing around, and I notice one of the big poster ads they have by the vestibules. One says something like "sick of snow in the Bronx? come to Florida and get bronzed." Then I notice that all the people in the photographs are black.

Hmm....do black people slather on SPF 15 and stretch out in the sun on lounge chairs on the pool deck when they are on vacation, because they want to make their skin darker???

I've heard a few white people say "I want to work on my tan" but I've never once heard a black or an Indian say "I want to work on my brown."

Black people get tan lines just like white people do. Whether or not they're in the sun for the color or just having outdoor fun, that's their business.

thanks. that's what I'd expect, just wasn't sure. it just seemed odd to be advertising "work on your bronze" to someone who already was, that's all.

This is pretty cool, I never knew...

when going from bright light to maximum darkness, studies have shown, eye sensitivity continues to change for up to 25 minutes, he says.

Just ask a pirate.

"Ever wonder why a pirate wears patches? It's not because he was wounded in a sword fight," says Dr. Sheedy. Seamen must constantly move between the pitch black of below decks and the bright sunshine above.

Smart pirates "wore a patch over one eye to keep it dark-adapted outside." Should a battle break out and the pirate had to shimmy below, he would simply switch the patch to the outdoor eye and he could see in the dark right away—saving him 25 minutes of flailing his cutlass about in near blindness.

Huh. That is one of the most interesting bits of trivia I have heard in quite a while.

I believe this is what delayed I-781. Perhaps this is where they moved.

Re: What the Fark???

Unbelievable! Anthony Wiener, twitter maven, is thinking about running for Mayor of New York City!

Why? he has $4 million in his campaign fund and if he doesn't spend it by a certain date, then he has to return it.

That is pretty expensive public psychotherapy, Mr. Bulge.
