Faith ,'End of Days'
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.
Isn't a stopped digital clock usually off?
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...
Isn't a stopped digital clock usually off?
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.
Anyone mind if I destroy the universe right now? I mean, y'all are talking math, so the mathy Buffistas will all die happy, and the unmathy Buffistas will be so glad the math is over, so I should just go ahead and make with the Earth-shattering kaboom, yes?
I'm actually curious about the 23:59 answer, if you care to explain the reasoning.
I don't have IBS, so far as I know. And I think I'd have reason to know.
(etask: If the universe ends now, do I get to take my vacation next week?)
I'm actually curious abotu the 23:59 answer, if you care to explain the reasoning.
If it was a fast clock instead of a slow one, this would be the answer, wouldn't it?
