Yeah, but we spend just over 4 months on "standard" time, and almost 8 months on "summer" time. Why do we only use "standard" time for roughly 1/3 of the year?

I think you have that backwards. The US changed their clocks to DST several weeks ago (March 9).

Yeah, that's kind of a weird way to look at it because the inverse is also true: having a driver's license also doesn't actually mean someone drives. I don't own a car, but have a license. I walk or take the bus for most of my transportation needs, but renew my driver's license so that I have the option to rent a car for the rare situations where it makes sense.

Pretty Little Liars. It was always a "guilty pleasure" show, but by the end, my friends and I were just "hate watching" it, begging for it to end.

Archer. Has that finally ended?

Would this have the unfortunate side effect of also eliminating the color pink? What about purple and orange?

I don't actually use a traditional alarm much anymore, only for the rare "special occasion". My secret: Smart lights. They dim on very gradually in the morning, so the light wakes me up. The other half of the equation is that they also gradually dim off in the evening, and that does an amazing job of getting me to bed at a reasonable hour without feeling forced.

Dr. Grip. I love the "shake to advance" thing and the huge, squishy grip.

Not quite. I was shopping for running shoes a while back and learned that generally, a women's wide is the same width as a men's standard. I think a women's standard is usually called a B width, and the women's wide and men's standard would be a D width. Some brands do make other slight differences between the men's shoe and the women's shoe, so the swap might not always be 1 to 1, and some brands do unisex sizing, so there's no difference in width for men's vs. women's.
