    I’ve conditioned myself fully by this point to only use the clock on the stove as an indicator of whether my power has or has not gone out

      How often does your power go out? Why can’t you be bothered to set the time every ~10 years that probably happens?

        Personally, where I live now, my power has gone out in the last five years more often than the rest of my life combined. I’m in my mid 30s.

        I’ll have momentary power losses probably once or twice per quarter, depending on bad thunderstorms or nearby construction, things that happen worldwide and affect power grids indiscriminately.

        I do set my stove clock, I just ironically find it more useful to not improve it in this ridiculously simple way because it’s a good indicator of whether my home has had a power outage. Lol
