And what if you find out you needed one you threw out? If we knew what cables we'd need tomorrow, we'd not have a box of cables today!

I cannot fathom such deep despair for I only live in a world of seconds.

God speed my simple friend. God speed.

There's a huge difference between "most clocks" and "most clocks I've seen" - especially if your clock experience is restricted to schools.

Do you see a lot of schools? Do you know whether the schools you've been to all use the same supplier? How broad is your school clock experience? How many clocks do you think you've seen, ever?

Most clocks I've seen recently (I can recall exactly 1) have seconds hands. Regardless though I'm not suggesting "most clocks" have seconds hands...I'm just making a quip about how traditional, analogue, clocks have seconds hands to deal with the exact problems noted.

Even if they did, so what? We should not then recognise positive decisions?

If we don't allow companies and people to make any mistakes, for fear of being forever scorned, then we'll end up with either unprogressive risk averse companies that cannot compete against their peers, or a host of good companies that go bankrupt from the slightest misstep.

Personally I'm glad companies such as proton exist, and are prepared to take risks, as they are currently our best hope against the likes of Google and Meta.

The lack of migration is what kept me on ml for several days after I found out what they consider ml stands for.

One click migration to a different instance would be a huge benefit to the decentralisation effort.

In a world of mobiles being more ubiquitous than monitors, consider inverting your rows and columns next time. Scrolling down is more expected than scrolling sideways.

Not continuously for an hour. I've lived opposite an ER and it wasn't as bad as whats described above. Much louder, but also much less frequent.

In the UK there are actually laws around not sounding your horn at night.
