What, no Euro key?

(Yes, I realize the € symbol didn't exist until 1996)

I live close to a city that only allows city-owned liquor stores, Eden Prairie MN. But it's trivial to drive to the next city over and shop wherever you want.

Maybe the whole point of this was not to ruin some food, but to prove infiltration of a DoD network in a way that would leak broadly because it's not classified?

This is the blueprint for how the singularity will occur. Only there won't be a post-mortem for it.

I think both WWV and WWVB were on the chopping block a few years ago, because the government decided it wasn't worth the $100,000 per year to keep them running. Thankfully that decision was overturned.

That might do to keep it within a minute during power loss, and maybe that's good enough for most people. But if you really want to be worry-free you need something more high tech.

It would be worth it for me not to have to touch it twice a year for DST.

My uncle was a huge clock collector. Many of his would go off on the hour, it was quite the spectacle.

The beauty of living in the modern age is that there are times when you don't have to worry about being wasteful. This project is a perfect example.

It's likely that the most power consuming part of the clock is the display.

I once researched how accurate GPS time is, and the answer is it's within 40 ns. Good luck finding a way to transmit that to your CPU that doesn't add a much larger delay.

Is there anything which adjusts your base clock frequency based on NTP or anything else, so that when you are unable to correct the time it's still more accurate than an untuned free-running clock?

The time it takes to play a game of golf is much longer than any of the other activities you mentioned.

You may not need to be rich to play golf, but you need to be rich to have the spare time to do it.

Within 5 miles of my house are 5 golf courses. I believe only 1 is government owned, by the city.

I never used to like the morning show hijinx either, until I discovered that a friend hosted such a show. I tuned in every morning after that. He retired a couple of months ago, and I think I've only listened to the show twice since then. His replacements are OK but there's no draw anymore.

There's a local station that advertises the fact that they don't do requests. I'm sure the reason they don't is because they can't - the playlist was mapped out long ago and there will be no deviations. The main DJ voice is some guy reportedly from Vancouver who records the voiceovers for this station and probably 40 others just like it. What he lacks in spontaneity he makes up for in snark.
