I haven’t used a clock in years that I need to manually reset. Older people don’t seem to realize clocks on phones and other devices reset automatically.

    This reminds me the old folks here, they always tell younger people to carry an umbrella and (in cold days) a sweater - because you never know how the day weather will turn out, right? They simply aren’t used to modern weather prediction.

      If modern weather prediction says 80% chance of showers, you really should have that umbrella. If it says sunny skies, you can use it as a parasol. And it’s also helpful if you’re attacked by cops with teargas, even “rubber” bullets.

      Don’t worry with the way Tamils is handling NOAA, weather prediction will soon return to the good old days.

      Lol, “modern weather prediction” which is still as wrong as much as it’s right, on an hourly basis.

      We just don’t have that kind of predictive capability, yet, as weather systems are dynamic/chaotic.

      Many times I’ve left the house with no prediction of precipitation, and been caught out. And I use multiple weather apps, including radar apps.
