Wait... you guys don't use 24 hour clocks as standard?

USA! USA! 4 time zones, 12 hour time as standard, mixture of L, Fl Oz, Gallons, etc. At least we measure our fuel in Gal along with mi/Gal vs the UK which is petrol in L I think. Yay?

It would be nice not to have time zones but unfortunately they are here to stay. No windows get rid of daylight savings time

With the current world wide lock down in effect, I think that future it closer than I'd though!

I've slowly been changing over to 24H time.  It makes things much, much simpler, even though it doesn't get rid of DST.

12 hour clocks confuse me, its always the morning!?

I can feel the call of the spreadsheet!

 

She sings to me, the song of folding data 

I can feel double digits coming. Maybe not today but I still feel them coming.

Yep, we have miles per gallon but measure our fuel in litres, it's funny because the only reason it changed was litres look cheaper!

 

Btw a gallon is very different in the uk vs in the us, in fact most measurements are

the last time petrol looked "cheap" here was like 20 years ago!

I usually just remember how long it's been since I woke up and if we're past lunch yet.  Pretty hard to confuse 3am with 3pm, for example.

As is the ton.  Imperial vs metric (or ton vs tonne).

My problem is by the time 8 o’clock pm comes around I start having to do math and carrying numbers over and typically I have a beer or two of me at that point so I lose track of time if I try to do it using the 24 hour clock. Do all of your analog clocks have 24 hour positions or just 12?

[GOTSpectrum]

Just now, hydrochloric said:

 

Yeah, which just makes it all stupid!

 

On the plus side, you get more beer here in a pint than in the us lol!

Yes seriously.

They use 1pm yo 12 pm an 1AM to 12AM But it is still considered a 24 Hour day...

I don't own an analog clock...

 

They are 12 hour here tbh but yeah, the only one I have is my watch and that is only because my brother bought it for me, Havent even changed it when we swapped to BST.

Huhderp, that's such a simple solution why did I not think of it lol.  Must be the heat at my desk, thanks.

 

So the average for all my (recorded) 5700XT WUs is 1,118,372, but the max is 1,307,799!  This is a stock PowerColor dual-fan unit too, no OC.

Thanks - that's a little higher of an average than I'm seeing but likely over more than the 4-5 WUs I've put through these cards.

That's an extraordinarily good point, I've never thought to ask that.  Granted they also drive on the wrong side of the road lol, so how much can we trust them?

I know, I mean 12 hour clocks vs 24 hour clock as they are known as. I am very well aware the length of a day doesnt change. Although if america could do it they would, because they gotta be special

I know right. Just as bad as all the island nations. Looking at you Jamaica.

Oh, it's stupid for sure, but I'm not in charge of making the choice of our national standards!

 

And you guys still insist on using miles per hour, so don't get too cocky lol.

[GOTSpectrum]

Two things, 

 

first thing, this song is far more dirty then I ever noticed...

 

 

Secondly, no I haven't just been watching Floppotron all day! I've been productive!!!!

No, so analogue(Which is the UK (CORRECT) way of spelling it :D) still have 12 position typically.

 

Personally I don't own one, and they don't confuse me as much as seeing a digital clock read 08:30 at half 8 in the evening.

Sweden fixed that you know.  They used to drive the on wrong side and due to a huge PSA campaign they managed it no problem.  Not even an accident, if I recall.

Honestly by the time you are old enough to drink it's second nature. No maths required, as you have seen on here I automatically work in 24 hour clocks anyway.

They still use the outdated Inches and foot and feet, they are lacking behind on modern measuring structures.
