My 2008 Ford has a super simple user interface to set the clock. As long as you know you have to turn the radio on first to set it.

Many of them are from rehearsals or performances or they're archival. Transferring them takes a lot of time since you have to play them in real time then edit the file and then burn to a DVD.

I still have three working machines and I pamper them! I think I read last year that the last manufacturer of VHS machines had finally quit making them.

Just to be clear, my response above was meant tongue-in-cheek! I know how to set the clocks.

I saved one, just in case we come across a tape and want to see what's on it. We'll never use it again, I'm sure.

it sometimes give me anxiety if I have to be somewhere.

I just got back from Iceland. They laugh at the idea of daylight savings time and just go with GMT(UK) all year.

blanket longer by cutting a strip off one end and sewing it to the other end.

But since this is the US, where we all are expected to do more work than is humanly possible, I don't change my clocks until the semester is over, so I can fool myself and squeeze in an extra hour of grading each day.

Push the button.

You're welcome.

J/k. What seems to be the issue?

Edited: I noticed what time you posted. If you haven't figured it out by now, ask housekeeping for a broom and a dust pan so you can safely pick up the broken pieces of the Keurig.

I have a Keurig and love it, but I don't love the pods. I use the refillable.

I doubt they clean those things in hotel rooms. They probably just throw them away when they quit working because the lines are clogged with whatever clogs them. I have to be pretty desperate to use the machines in the rooms. I know I overthink what might be lurking in them.

For the caffeine !
I usually never touch those machines, and will keep that policy.
I will buy some instant coffee travel packs as soon as I find it next time.

And my own cup. When I fly I hope for the best. If I have to use the room coffee maker, I run a whole lot of water through it before making my first cup. It's ridiculous, really. But coffee and chocolate are really my only vices. Oh, and bread. Etc.

I didn’t change it last night. Maybe it picked up on the phone in its dock changing time.

I've tried multiple times to change the time. It just doesn't "take".

I am not a fan of Daylight Saving Time. I wish we'd stay the same year round. I really don't like to see kids trekking to school in the dark.
