Reply to comment by swatlord in Greenland turns clocks forward for last,should Massachusetts/eastern US do the same by Hoosac_Love
The company I must recently worked at would turn a zero day around essentially overnight as well. But we didn't like it, because something else got pushed aside for it. This will be somewhat more than a typical zero day because it will affect every class of device, whereas most zero days only affect certain classes or versions of devices. The original point was that you don't want to turn something like this into a last minute emergency by passing legislation that doesn't allow industry time to deal with it.

I understand how ntp and timezone files work. I know most people won't have an issue, or maybe their lights won't come on at the right time because their automation hub didn't update, but no big deal. In commercial environments, often with thousands of devices, automatic updates are often disabled. Updates are tested in a lab, then a QA environment, then rolled out to production servers in phases. In regulated industries like healthcare and finance, there is typically more process. Every change is documented, scheduled, authorized and verified. The actual change might only take a couple days to roll out, but it's not like companies have people sitting around waiting to do this, they have day to day business to take care of as well.

I wouldn't suggest what op is trying to do. All of the solutions suck, OP just needs to find the one that sucks least for them. For me, a semi rural location would be a nice feature, and Newtown has a lot of that with good access to 84.

I'd suggest Newtown. Drive to Brewster, NY for the NYC commute, and 84 to West Hartford. Far from ideal, but Newtown would be a nice place to settle.

The key being that some companies change control will require a structured plan to roll it out, possibly in phases. My last company only had a few thousand production servers, in a non emergency would probably do this over a month or two. In tandem with regular patching. Network devices are sometimes another story.
People don't realize it's a bit more complicated than just saying "don't change your clocks".

Too soon to make a change. Every computer needs to be updated, probably millions in MA alone. In companies with thousands of computers and network devices, this could take six months of testing and actual production deploys.

Reply to comment by BasicDesignAdvice in Is there any way to find out what kind of subsidies/considerations Amazon received for the warehouses and half built Amazon Freshes that are sitting empty all over the state? by Happy_rich_mane
I don't mind indirectly supporting aws as much as I do the retail side. AWS competes with Google and Rackspace whereas retail competes with local shops. I get that AWS gives them cash flow to buffer the retail side, but that's where I sit. I still buy from Amazon, but I try to make it my second choice where I can.

You need one power feed for each condenser; the heads get their power from the condenser. A condenser can support multiple indoor heads. In our house, we have 6 heads on 2 condensers, one at each end of the house, using one 240v pairs in the panel for each.

It's typically company policy. People hear that it's not allowed and conflate the reason with the law.

Models are all over the place -- i follow eWeather who gives a good picture. It's one of those where the track could move 100 miles and totally change the outcome, but there's a good chance of a walloping. If it hits, heavy wet snow is likely to cause trees down and associated power issues.

I've had tires shipped from tirerack to a shop several times. They were happy to do it, asked me to let them know when the order was placed, and when they arrived called me to bring the vehicle in to have them mounted.

I see. I was just highlighting that "inedible" and "invasive" are two different adjectives. They both apply here, but that may not always be the case.

Invasive means they were taking over habitat from non native species. Don't think it has anything to do with whether they are edible.

The whole system probably runs more smoothly because you can smooth out the arrival times of the clients.

The majority of the US is left-leaning (by US left/right definitions). Republicans win because they are better at getting their base out to vote and they are better at creating an advantage in the electoral college. Take a look at the popular vote numbers.

Early on (pre revolution), Connecticut extended to the Hudson. There was some treaty that brought the line east to where it is now.

There's an app called eWeather that gives regional forecasts for Southern New England (he's based in CT, but discusses the whole reagion. You'll get the nuance that is often missing from the TV station forecasts, but not as much detail on specific locations.

Come to Cape Cod between labor day and mid- to late October. The weather is mild and you can enjoy walking the beaches, restaurants and trails with fewer people than in July & August.

There's one tiny use case for nips aside from alcoholics -- liqueurs that may be used in small quantities in cooking or baking. Have picked up a few for that purpose when it's something that would otherwise sit in the cupboard taking up space. Deposits would be totally acceptable for that market; I think $1 would do a pretty good job of keeping them from becoming litter.

Realistically, it won't pass for months. My bet is it will take effect next year, if at all.
Interestingly, CT tried to pass a bill last year, but broadcasters opposed it and it never got passed. Apparently Congress has to approve the change as well.
CT 's bill would have been contingent on MA, NY, and RI also adopting AST.
