Great site, but timezone is 8 hrs off for me.

Which timezone are these days and times based on?

I can't tell if the times are for my timezone?

Something to do with the difference between UTC and New York time zones, perhaps?

Timezone differences remain a problem.

What should it have said about time zones?

Times in UTC would be more helpful.

Have you considered differing time zones?

Which timezone's night? Aren't these globally available services?

Timezones are a thing. It's noon now and it was already morning when you posted this.
