100% packet loss, Amazon Prime must have felt lonely being the only outage on it's network.

Of course, it's for the last 10 minutes of the show I'm trying to watch.

Not that anyone else in the middle of a show, or trying to start one is any better off, but seriously, Amazon, get your self together.

No More DST

I am able to do it where I work, though most people may stay doing the DST, I will choose not to.

Already set my home clocks to not automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time, as it is now all but 3 months of the year, and clearly has been a farce for some time.

This year, I will simply choose not to engage in this outdated behavior.

I encourage you to do the same in your own little world. Think, the 6am sunrise at 7am helps no one, and in fact, cause the government to go deeper in debt having schools and facilities open during the peak of day.

So, remind your kids what "outside" is, and have them do that when they get home, rather than play XBOX for 6 hours straight. No more losing an hour of sleep in the spring, and being off for at least a day, just enjoy the simple things.

Or convince everyone your a timezone behind!

Remember if cities and states can declare a DST free zone, so can your workplace. Change your thinking, and then your neighbors.
