    We have a constellation of satellites constantly broadcasting the most accurate time humans can measure and it’s crazy every device doesn’t have an antenna to pick this up and set the time.

    So many timers, so little time.

    I don’t even notice all the little clocks. I actually like clocks a lot, and I check them a lot, but not the ones in these appliances. I usually don’t notice when they run fast or when we go in or out of DLS.

      Sometimes my friend fixes mine when he’s here. I appreciate it. It bothers him. I don’t care about any of them except the auto feeder for the cats.

    None of my kitchen equipment has any sort of a clock on them.

    Timers, yes. Clocks, no.
