FWIW, the context of the Franklin quote is him defending the ability of the legislature to tax a family that was trying to bribe/lobby the governor to do otherwise. The quote is in defense of the government: WITTES: It is a quotation

If I have to take the clock off the wall and move it outside, I may as well set it by hand. In any case, I've tried leaving one outside facing west and it still doesn't work. I've literally never had one of these clocks work

You're right. I was wrong about that, mostly because I've never had a WWVB clock work for me at all.

We do, but I've never had a WWVB clock work for me in North Carolina. I've tried a few of them. The US is a big place and for whatever reason, there aren't that many clock signal transmission towers (AFAIK, the only one in th

This is great. I spent years looking for an affordable battery-powered WiFi clock that syncs via NTP since where I am, the WWVB clocks never pick up the radio signal. I never considered making my own. Anyway, about two years ago this option

I love Kore-eda but it took me many attempts to get through After Life . I'm really glad it wasn't my first Kore-eda film. I find it terribly boring.

You might want to remove that `.DS_Store` from the root of the repo and add `.DS_Store` to your global git ignore.

I can't think of too many places I'd use Li-FeS2 other than maybe in smoke alarms. They're available in 9-volt form factor. I use NiMH or Li-ion pretty much everywhere else these days.

I actually can't think of anything besides smoke detectors that I'd use these for, of which my house has 10 or so. Not having to replace those yearly would be worth it. I use Eneloop NiMH or Li-ion rechargeables just about everywh
