The phone, watch, tablet etc are exact due to age the internet. I try to keep the car clock and the alarm clock within <1 minute of them. The oven, microwave, etc are whatever.

Man car clocks are often the worse. Coffeemaker you have to like have it start flashing to correct time and wait 3 seconds so easy to go a few seconds over. Oven/microwave are like to the second

I try to keep them all set perfectly to the second as calibrated with the phone at time changes, but the car consistently loses time and will be a minute behind in a couple months, so I periodically correct it.

That's just making it inaccurate in the opposite direction. How is that better?

Actually my alarm clock is intentionally set 90 minutes ahead of the current time. To force myself to do math while sleepy.

^^The cheat code is knowing that the clock is inaccurate.

I appreciate your suggestion, but I do not plan to implement it.

Time for the great synchronization of 2025!

We had an ef0 tornado come through the other day so I lost power...several clocks off since then. All within about 2 seconds now. I want to do better

u can do it

welp, I'm not tired at all but now I'm going to force myself to sleep lie awake for 5 hours with agonizing thoughts, only to wake up 2 hours later and realize that it's Monday and I have to endure another bullsh*t pointless meaningless abysmal work day

I am getting into taking a video of time being off after several times fixing territory. Its like it is syncing with something that changes time but always 30 seconds(later) away from phone

i like my clocks 30 secs fast, my CD player alarm clock from the 90s runs fast so it gets ahead by more than a min before its time to reset it in the spring and fall for DST
