That's why I used the conjunction "and." Maybe "between 10 and 13
degrees celsius" would've been better.

Time zones do not change, just the _local_ time differs
from their own timezone by one hour. As VRT is a virtual
time zone, one should leave it alone like all other time
zones.
Smart server admins leave their servers alone too, just
the _representation_ of the time is not TZ for a while
but TZ-1 - but the time zone itself doesn't change.
Nowadays DST doesn't make sense anymore at all anyway, it
causes more costs and needs more energy than just leaving
time alone.

Yeah it just depresses me when it gets darker out everytime I have to
set the clock forward.

I am left to wonder how changing the time on your clock from 2am to 3 am all
of a sudden makes it darker outside. Even if you wait until the morning to
change your clock, it will have little bearing on the amount of light
outside at the time you change it. :)

Your circadium rhythm will be out of sync. Thus when you "used" to
light being at 6:00am and that moves to 7:00am... it makes a world of
difference.

Let's not go overboard. An hour this way or that is hardly a world of
difference. It is more like a muted form of "jet lag". Your body rythums
would be much more affected by a change in work shifts or traveling from
northern to suthern hemispheres. In these instances you are increasing or
decreasing the number of hours of light in your day. While your body rythums
will adapt to that also the time it takes to do so is closer to a "world of
difference" than adapting to the time change ( which is a normally ongoing
process as the days get longer or shorter).

An hour is all it takes to chnage it from light to pitch black with DST
and such. At least where I live.

metric = metres, kilometres, kilograms etc etc etc.

You misunderstood that joke - K does not stand for Kilo
in this case :-)
