Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A stopped digital clock will be right only once a day.
Isn't a stopped digital clock usually off?
Because most digital clocks display AM/PM along with the numbers.
I think among mine, it's half and half. My car and oven have no AM/PM, but my phone and satellite clock do. The rest are timers, so I don't count them.
Thanks, ita.

Well...fine. But in your example, it's not stopped, just slow. So it matters.

It could be stuck. Or frozen in a time warp by some guy who knows his girlfriend is going to dump him, but also knows she's going to have pity sex with him first, and so he does this thing to stop time while they're having sex...

Yes, or flashing 12:00 endlessly, not that I have experience with that sort of thing.
Is Hil (and the collected peanut gallery, but Hil is the one with, like, the Formally Recognized Math here) telling me I can't count?
Okay, that's not actually news.
I have formally recognized math. A B.S., so appropriate to these discussions.
Are the clock radios that had flippy things that, um, flipped every minute considered digital? 'Cuz those can stop.

I have an old favourite digital alarm clock which still "works" but the time it tells is off by a random number of hours and minutes. I didn't even know they did that.

Took a long look at this and said, IBS? That is a degree now? Then I figured it out. Clearly, having some lexical problems in addition to the basic calculia problems. Next up? Apraxia!
Oy! Frances has a fever today. And there's so much going on around the house, she is having a hard time staying down for her nap. Mommy worn out.
PS--I have nothing to add to the stopped clock discussion except that Scalia uses the same line (about it being right twice a day) to describe those rare (in his view) instances when a Justice should not follow his version of strict constructionism.
