I've had this fone for about 5 years. There is no provision for time or anything concerned with time anywhere on this fone. When ya spring forward or back ya turn the fone off to reset the time. Not working this time for whatever reason.

Thanks for trying to help though.

Gravdigr · 03-10-2019, 11:40 AM

It ain't even noon yet!?!?!?

This is going to be a very long day.

And I'm already tired of it.

Can you easily remove the battery, without losing stored information, in case that resets something simply turning it off doesn't?

I did that, yes sir.

Thank you for your support.

That would be cheaper than maintaining a summer place one time zone over.

Phones haven't been durable since the 70s.

Gravdigr · 03-12-2019, 10:46 AM

The one on my kitchen wall is fairly durable. It's at least thirty years old.

Popdigr thinks he still has their old round dial phone somewhere. Why he's kept it idk, no way it'll still work.

Diaphone Jim · 03-12-2019, 11:36 AM

Dial (rotary) telephones still function with the grid; they may have internal problems.

As long as this is sort of about daylight saving time, I would like to see a Constitutional amendment that prohibits any political unit (city, county, state, etc.) from authorizing any time system that does not have 12 o'clock Noon occur at the solar meridian, i.e. straight up.
In other words, all of the United States must permanently remain on Standard Time, with "Saving" time outlawed forever.

Can't do that, the lower 48 has 4 time zones. The Sun would be straight up at noon in only one spot in each time zone.
So the referendum would have to be written differently, or create a bunch of new time zones which I don't think is a viable idea.

You and I know what you wrote means in spirit, most people would, but somebody with money and a lawyer could hammer that amendment to death in the courts.

It's pretty fucked up the way the time zones are laid out anyway.
Pacific plus Central stretch coast to coast?

WageWorks and COBRA.

BigV · 03-13-2019, 12:00 AM

Fucking COBRA.

Do I look like I am made out of money now that I have a a superabundance of free time?

Gravdigr · 03-13-2019, 01:00 PM

Blame the railroads.

Clodfobble · 03-14-2019, 01:15 PM

I dunno where that time zone map came from, but Florida is definitely on Eastern time.

xoxoxoBruce · 03-14-2019, 01:36 PM

That's what I thought, when Google Search threw this at me I was surprised.
Also the Pacific time stretching all the way to Texas under the Mountain Time.
