LOL... ask the ECF community what time it is and we commence with instructions on how to build a clock.
And sooner or later, the discussion turns to what the best kind of clock the newbie needs to build.
A lot of the problem is ask anyone anywhere "what should I buy" and the answer is "whatever I like". Some of that is because our individual experience (some is ego). (Hey, RTA was asked, you answered rda. Then I'd have to add TC squonker because I hate dripping.)
I can't fall back to best noob build today experience. That's why I had the part about "yous kids today". Really it's all easy today. buy what you want, watch a video.
