For folks who don’t know the correct start time, check following ruby code. (assume live in +0800) ```ruby [11] pry(main)> DateTime.parse("Oct 23rd, 2023 10:00 AM CEST").new_offset("+0800").strftime("%F %T") => "2023-10-23 16:00:00" ``` BTW, how to do same things in Crystal? (Don’t need specify the time pattern when use Time.parse) ---

An equivalent in Crystal would be ```crystal Time.parse_rfc3339("2023-10-23 10:30:00+02:00").in(Time::Location.local) ``` ---

Thanks you for answer, one more question, i know there are several `Time.parse_???` method available, e.g. **parse\_rfc2822** , **parse\_rfc3339** , **parse\_utc** , can I assume that these three already cover most of the common formats, as DateTime.parse in Ruby support?
