Why would you use 24hr format AND “am”?!
we have someone at work who when she does a backup of one of our databases will label it 05112020 13.00pm so not only does she am/pm a 24hr time but she does the date so it files in blocks of days rather than actually in chronological order such as 20201105 it drives me mental

This is how to label a model of swimming goggles. Not how you tell the time.
I feel stupid for caring but this has been grating me every time.

You're lucky if that's the only reason why.

For some more unfortunate nations it could mean more sanction and hardship.
Yes, you're absolutely right. The world simply cannot ignore the US and its politics. I wish we could.

That's worth a nudge down the stairs.

I hope Biden wins, so I can pause for a moment and reflect on adding that the few good things to happen in 2020.

And then go back to seeing Manchester United be shite.

Plant porn on her work computer. She deserves it.

That’s why I brought it up. She specifically said ‘700PM PST’ and made a reference to how late that would be for a release. It just sounded odd.
Oh, PM! Well, that's almost 24 hours until right? Jesus.

Supposedly Georgia at around 7am PST, or 3pm UK time.
Not 700AM East Coast Time, the time zone Georgia is in? That’s a four hour swing if so.

But, it could happen just the same at 1000AM EST (which is 700AM PST)
