A QUESTION ABOUT TIME

[crazyphil]

I have a karma deal that had a deadline of midnight Sunday.
So at 12:01 Mountain Time I closed it and did the drawing.
24:01 would be the more correct way to tell the time (military).
But I noticed that the forum time was/is 2 hours earlier. I know
the Pacific Time Zone is 1 hour earlier. Wondering what time
zone the forum's clocks are on? Maybe Pacific but never
moved 1 hour ahead for daylight savings time? Just curious.

I think we can all set our local times in our profiles. So you being in Boise, I think your karma, your local time for deadline is fine.

Not to worry.

As I was walking down the street one day,
A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead,
And I said,

Does anyone know what time it is,
Does anyone care about time.
I can't imagine why,
We all have time enough to cry.

Midnight, is that 2400 or 0001, because 1201 is noon. Time zones too? Now I am confused. Your karma, your choice, why worry.

Thanks for the responses, but can someone now answer the question?

After looking all over the site,
Finally see ‘All Times are GMT.’
It’s down at the bottom.
When I do a Karma, I Use AT.
Arbitrary Time.
My Site Posting Time is 3:25 PM.
Tea time in London?
That was 9:25 AM here in the MDT Zone.
We are GMT minus 6.
Or GMT = MDT + 6.

Lost my Chicago albums in the Katrina flood, what a great band! Great music.
George Carlin did a bit on time, funny stuff
“Guy comes up to me on the street and asks do you have the time-like I’m in charge of knowing, I tell him I don’t know, which time you talking about? The time when you asked me or the time it is now?”

I would simply say "midnight, local time" in my original post (or whatever you want). nice and clear.

Local time here or there?

Clear as mud.

Time stamps on any posts are my local time.
"Likes" are time stamped GMT (UTC, Zulu?) which in my case is EDT or GMT - 4.
Bottom of the page says All times GMT-4.

There is 23:59, 24:00, then 00:01. Three minutes of time either side of midnight.

No worries. I stated drawing would be shortly after midnight Sunday
Oct 7th and it was. I was just wondering where the forum gets the
times at the top of posts. Greenwich Mean Time sounds right. Or
military ZULU time. Thanks for helping me understand.

...George Carlin did a bit on time, funny stuff...

Such as: "You are on a boat with a Priest and he grants you Absolution for a sin you committed less than a day ago. But then you cross the International Date Line and it's yesterday, do you get a 'freebie'?"

 

[BearBio]

of course, Steven Hocking says there is no time!

 

[vytoland]

For his sake, let's hope he is correct. RIP.

It's about time.

It's about space.

The forum has no standard time, except for "now." You set your time zone, and that's the time you see, and the time that other posts use when you read the forum. Others see it differently, or the same, depending on the time zone they choose in the USER CP. As an example, my post is marked 5:36 AM, which is the time I typed it where I sit. Your OP was made at 6:40 AM yesterday, but that's in the time zone where I sit. I have no idea what time it was in Boise, Idaho, or wherever you made the post, when you made the post. . . .
