16:27
MAYBE
Checking your clock…
People in Des Moines keep office hours that look familiar on a slide and stranger in practice. The polite window around Downtown Des Moines is 08:00–17:00 local. Insurance and government: 08:00 start, 17:00 stop, little appetite for late Slack. Midwinter sunsets still arrive before dinner, which makes late Slack feel later than the clock. Ping their late morning unless you already share an on-call rota. Des Moines still shifts with daylight saving (UTC−6 in January, UTC−5 in July).
