Best overlap: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Dallas is 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Buenos Aires.
Your shared working hours run 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Dallas (10:00 AM to 6:00 PM in Buenos Aires). Scheduling is forgiving here: with 8 hours of overlap, a missed slot just means picking another one the same day. Because only Dallas changes its clocks, the overlap above isn't fixed; expect a one-hour shift when Dallas enters or leaves daylight saving.
