Confirmed: 12 AM PST Launch time for Aug. 25

[Deleted]

That clock is not clock/time zone independent!


But I found one:

If that thing is correct it isn't exactly 3 days headstart, it's 3 days minus 3hours, it's suppose to be that way?

Loool, 8:00 AM for GMT, gonna have to get up early

That is GMT+1, otherwise it's 7:00 AM because PST is GMT-7.

Also isn't it PDT because its summer? Pacific Daylight Time?

Hmm, now all I have to do is figure out how I'm going to get on at 2am without making my wife mad so I can make some characters.

Need to go to the toilet and then have a drink of water?

Hmm 10am for me. That's an awesome start to the day in my opinion

In North America midnight is commonly known as 12 AM to differentiate easier from noon, which is 12 PM. The only other way to tell if it's midnight is by using standard military time as 00:00, which is in the twitter link that was posted.

Food for thought: If 12:01 in the morning is 12:01 AM, why isn't 12:00 midnight counted as 12:00 AM?

Sure, 11:59 directly before midnight is PM, but that has absolutely no bearing on it. Gotta transition at some point.

I think it has to do with what some folks call military time (The standard 24 hour clock). I can't remember perfectly since the last time I wore a uniform Clinton was in office. Midnight is 00:00, after the first minute it turns into 00:01, so everyone reads midnight as neutral (everything being set to 0). Some people then nitpick between 12:00 AM and just 12:00.

It's 23:59 and then 00:00. Not 24:00.
00:00 means midnight, 12:00 is lunch time.

I see 00:00 as the first minute of the first hour of the day.
