Default Daylight Stupid Time

That's like my microwave oven. The damn thing only has a 24 hour clock
(military time). That really annoys me. I dont need a clock on the
microwave anyhow, 5 minutes cooking time is still 5 minutes no matter
what the clock says, but there is no way to disable the time display, or
change it to 12 hour time. And I cant put tape over the display or I
wont be able to see my cooking time..... I would not have bought this
Microwave had I known the clock was so screwed up.


Personally, I'd switch to 24 hour time all the time. It must makes
more sense and avoids a lot of confusion. If the entire country
switched to it, after about three days it would be perfectly normal
and when someone says I'll be there at 8, you know it is in the
morning.

Just to **** off the naysayers, I'd switch to metric like the rest of
the world too.
