That said, I wish the page had actually taken the local time into account. As in your case the times on the page are in my current timezone (CEST) so the "Z", "00:00", "+00:00" is basically just decoration. ~~Even worse, in the intersection we have formats like %h:%m:%s+Z and %h:%m:%s+02:00 that show the same time simultaneously.~~ Edit: it is correct now.

I'm in the America/New_York zone and I see the proper times for the values with "Z" vs the values with "-4:00". That is, they are off by four hours.

I’m in America/New_York as well and I see them correctly. I think your computer’s time zone may be incorrect.
