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

      I guess you haven’t cleaned your microwave in 10 years or had to do any electrical maintenance in the kitchen.

        My microwave does not have a digital timer. And yes, over the ~9 years I am living in my current flat, I did not have to do any electrical maintenance. Do you have to do that regularly?

      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
