Let's try this again because not everyone's votes were being registered the first time around.
I was just noticing all the clocks that could potentially be used in my home: The microwave, the stove, thermostat, computers, mobile devices, watches, coffee maker, bedroom alarm clocks, wall clocks, radios, etc. There are clocks everywhere, but I don't use most of them for the time. Heck, I don't even bother to set some of them.

There we go, moved one clock, replaced with a cigar box full of ancient electronics, LOL. #clock
Okay, fine, I think I have fixed my own issue. I am going to move this clock I built out of a cigar case to my office, and moved the (cheap) AA clock to the kitchen where the other cheap AA clock failed. Forgot I had this lol. #clock
Random #clock sustainability question: we churn through a lot of very cheap AA powered wall clocks (which inevitably stop working and cannot be fixed within a year -- cheap plastic).
I have one (Russian) hand crank clock, but are there other wall clock options that don't require constant AA batteries and/or replacement? Opinions/thoughts?
REALLY do not like having disposable clocks.
Thanks...
(Update: duh, forgot I built an old fashioned digit clock from ancient parts some years back and it's sitting in the workshop, going to move that to my office and move the office clock to the kitchen, where el-cheapo Bezos clock died)
Quelqu’un peut me donner l’heure ?
(mais une seule, hein.)
The former Glasgow Blind Asylum (now part of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary complex). Designed by William Landless in a mix of gothic and baronial styles, and built in 1878, it supposely has the only public clock in Europe with five separate faces.
This Literary E-Reader Clock by @tjaap is somewhat related to the work of our next speaker, that will be announced soon.

It is absolutely genius! The e-reader shows a sentence from a book, containing the exact time.

Town Clock on Town Square
A vintage clock stands prominently on a street corner beside a row of parked cars, with a large building in the background under a clear blue sky. Leafless trees frame the scene, adding to the calm, bright day.

TIL: Ethiopia doesn't use the regular clock with 00:00 in the middle of the night.

Aujourd'hui j'ai appris: L'Éthiopie n'utilise pas l'heure régulière avec 00h00 au milieu de la nuit.
