You learn something new everyday. Correct. We need to do away with standard time. No reason for light at 5am and darkness at dinner time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RescueToaster Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 I have a strong gut feeling that's saying (err, gurgling?) 'Thursday' the 29th. And my gut is right all of the time, about half the time! 1 hour ago, Vergeltungswaffe said: Correct. We need to do away with standard time. No reason for light at 5am and darkness at dinner time. Here, here! I've always been told we do it because it helped farmers. As much as I respect American farmers, why can't they just wake up at a different time and work with the light instead of altering time itself (for everyone) just to help farmers get 1 more hour in? I realize that a huge portion of the country used to be farmers in the past (~90% in the 1800's, ~40% in the 1900), but it's something like only 1.3% of the population today. Also, light and electricity tech / capability has come a long way since then. Now, if it's not for farmers I'm going to feel a tad foolish, but I'd love to know the truth if I am wrong! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASL Veteran Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Actually it's the opposite. Farmers prefer that there is no savings time. Agricultural states like .... I think Indiana .... don't have daylight savings time because they have to milk the cows at the same time everyday or something like that. Anyway, not every State in the US observes daylight savings time. I seem to recall that the reason for daylight savings time was to allow more daylight for people to go shopping or something like that. Just going off the top of my head though so I might not be remembering correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Arizona doesn't change its time. Confusing if one is regularly traveling from CA, UT, NM to AZ and back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just going off the top of my head though so I might not be remembering correctly. "The farmers" reason was put forward in the past, but that never made sense to me because, well, animals are on the Sun's schedule anyway. I thought it so school kids so won't have to walk to school in the dark, back in the day. Today of course, hardly any do anyways. It is a silly thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalon Jones Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It has mostly to do with school children so they aren't at the bus stop in the dark. I still hate it though. Takes me a good couple weeks to adjust. (My guess for release is 'tomorrow'.....no specific date, just 'tomorrow') 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurian52 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'm also going to guess April 30th. But that is also academic for me as well since I am about to be playing through all of my CM scenarios and campaigns in chronological order, going back to CMAK and CMBB. So it's going to be a while before I get to the 70's/80's. As for daylight savings time, my understanding is that it started in Germany in WW1 because someone thought it would save on coal. It doesn't seem to have made any measurable difference, but somehow it managed to catch on and now we're stuck with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Steam version, it's June. But if you buy it on Battlefront you'll get access access to it in the next few days / next week, hopefully!

markh Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Wow - we are cutting it fine! We are already into the morning of the last day in April here in Australia.

Knightly Fish Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I'm thinkin either tomorrow or sometime next week. Most likely next week though, as a general rule launching software on a friday is a no go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
