Why people convert PDT to Ireland time

- Handling a +8h gap: PDT and Ireland have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Ireland is 5:00 PM in PDT.

- Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM PDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a +8h gap is not.
