[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;40416417] why? can't the average american subtract 12 from a number? [/QUOTE] [QUOTE=MTMod;40399819]That's exactly what I do. But since most people can't even make change in their head it's no surprise they can't work out military time.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=loophole;40408823]It is not that I can't, the advantages just don't justify the effort required to convert.[/QUOTE] Conversion is easy, just subtract 12 hours after 12:00 and you have PM.

[QUOTE=Generic.Monk;40416417]but i live in the uk where we're in some weird transition period between units that make no sense and logically designed units - i couldn't give less of a shit about the standard in the us[/QUOTE] And I live in the US with a 12-hour clock - I couldn't give less of a shit about the standard in the US [editline]25th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Jellyman;40418278]Conversion is easy, just subtract 12 hours after 12:00 and you have PM.[/QUOTE] Okay, it's easy, but there's literally no advantage to using a 24 hour clock to do that for. How do you benefit from using a 24, versus Americans with a 12 hour? This is assuming that you stay in one country.

[QUOTE=mastoner20;40421088]A flight leaves at 7 o'clock. Do you wake up early and get there at 6 in the morning, or do you show up around dinner time?[/QUOTE] That is not the entire time though. Without am or pm it is incomplete.

A watchface only has 12 ticks. It fails to distinguish the two. So an analog clock is incomplete?

That's a nice desktop you have here- Wait, I thought I was in the "Post your desktop" thread, not the "12 vs 24 hour" thread.

[QUOTE=mastoner20;40422343]A watchface only has 12 ticks. It fails to distinguish the two. So an analog clock is incomplete?[/QUOTE] You complete it because you are not a fucking moron and know if it is night or day.

I wish there was a wider selection of dual screen wallpapers. There are a few sites but usually just boring stuff.

Make your own!

[QUOTE=FlubberNugget;40423625]Make your own![/QUOTE] That's what I've done! Not the greatest on display, but it beats some of the ones out there, still though! [editline]25th April 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Generic.Monk;40424156] you could make 24 hour watches but 12 hours is easier to read[/QUOTE] I know you can. Mine has both faces on it, a 24 and a 12 that turn together. I was going for an example of an alarm set for a certain time on a 12-hr clock will ring twice a day, since it typically doesn't differentiate the two times. But getting back on track; what are some better rainmeters to get, that don't clog up one's RAM?

[QUOTE=Super Muffin;40427532]yep![/QUOTE] It looks really good! You use Rainmeter?

I was more asking for specific themes and skins that people use and like. I can never find things I like when I just randomly browse DA for things like that.

So I recently reformatted and for some reason Universal Theme Patcher is no longer working. Is there any other program that will do the same job?

Okey, thanks. I'm totally going to use that one day.

No problem! Glad to help.
