  I dunno man. ‘i don’t know’ is often more helpful than ‘sure, I know how to do this, trust me bro’

    A wrong clock can show the passage of time and if you know how far it’s off it just requires mental math. A stopped clock merely tells you when it stopped. Now a clock that advances at the wrong speed, that’s useless and a hindrance to you knowing what time it is

      Me for months when the oven clock is off by an hour because of daylight savings time.

    I set the clock in the kitchen a little fast because my partner is chronically late, and this way he leaves on time for work.
