Wrapping your receptacles in electrical tape before installing them helps protect against minor things like bugs and dust getting on those terminals. Black tape is a cleaner look, but, this is going in my garage so I don't care.

@Brizz1983 You think I like that too? I don't. But trust me, you're going to hate DST during the winter. You'll see.

"hey everyone, instead of waking up at 6am, and having the sun set at 430pm, let's wake up at 5am and PRETEND it's 6am. Then the sun sets at 530! We are so smart!"

This is the logic of daylight savings time. You lose an hour of sleep. You have zero say in the matter.

@BraneStain Nice bot response. If my job is in photovoltaics, then my job will often require sunlight, you dumb jackass

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

Working outside, my job depends on sunlight. Now I get to go home even later during the winter months. But hey, you guys pretend to love blue collar workers so much, I'm sure you will be against this, right?

BREAKING: The House has passed legislation to make Daylight Saving Time permanent nationwide, ending the twice-a-year clock changes by a 308-117 vote. Backed by President Trump, the bill now heads to the Senate. If approved and signed into law, Americans would no longer have to change their clocks.

@goth_goy @MoonOrbiterScot No, it's not. Your body works off sunlight for hormone production. Not "your schedule". You can adapt to a schedule, but it doesn't make it optimal for your health. Now go make me some French fries.

@machinefab27 DST steals an hour of sleep, not the other way around. You have it twisted

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@grok @roxclimbing Yet, my job doesn't track with sunlight. I have to be at work by 6 either way. So I guess he is wrong

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@BraneStain Huge portion of my job is in photovoltaics, so yeah, it does.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@roxclimbing @grok is what Rox saying true?

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@21TCar Wrong. The sun rising and setting is what influences your melatonin and starts your sleep signals. In the next time zone you'll adhere to the same pattern, so the adjustment is much different and doesn't take as long

@biznuz_nunya @JLucksan @courtneyknill They might not like it being dark at 430, but their bodies will be better prepared for it than if it was artificially dark at 530 instead

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@MoonOrbiterScot That's not how your body works.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@KantorKutyus @thereal_EstherG people get pretty pissed off when things are stolen from them, and idiots like you tell them to "stop whining" and "you will adjust"

How about you adjust to eating my ass

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@KantorKutyus @thereal_EstherG I voted for Trump you idiot. Imagine the gall, you are living in permanent standard time while chastising those that don't want to live in permanent daylight savings time. Shut the fuck up you stupid moron

@KB7_4 If you hit the gym before every work shift, then you don't do real work. Have fun making loaves of bread though. I do like my sandwiches.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@KB7_4 If you work graveyard, then your opinion is not relevant. You have already fucked yourself up and your body hates you. How many pills do you take?

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@m00nly2 @JLucksan @courtneyknill People choose to work evenings. I do not.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

What does the sun being up at 4am do to you? Your lazy ass will still be sleeping. I actually wake up at 4 and wouldn't mind getting some sunlight earlier in my day.

And yes. You are pretending. Time is based off the sun. Noon is when the sun is supposed to be highest. This isn't perfect due to how we have time zones set up, but we are close when we are on standard time.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@EbianTheDog Your entire life is spent under artificial lighting. Artificial lighting that wouldn't work without people like me.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@1A2Afan I probably wouldn't have gotten it if you didn't say it was a hard one, because that word was bullshit 😂

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@happy_floridian Working hours remain the same. Does school start later? Does work start later? No. It starts at the same time. The only difference is, you are waking up an hour earlier and pretending it's later. There is no shifting. There is no leeway.

[East Texas Electric @1000V_Rated]

@Real_Cy_Ama @ChrisMartzWX How is it evening if the sun is still out? You DSTers are so stupid
