US Senate votes unanimously to make daylight savings time permanent

I doubt most of my colleagues even know what their offset is – keeping track of that with DST is just not fun. Personally I just Google e.g. "2pm PT in CT," as Google has an info box that handles time conversions and is smart enough to know when you want DST.

For people not wanting to use Google, I've written a script "dateparse"[1] that allows to do the same:

    $ TZ=America/Chicago dateparse '2pm PT'
    2pm PT: assuming PDT
    1647464400  Wed Mar 16 16:00:00 CDT 2022

(You don't need to set TZ if your local time is already CT, of course.)
