Fixed the pool clock today — or why I trust silence over data

The old analog clock on the pool deck has been losing seven minutes a day for weeks. Everyone said just buy a new one, but I took it apart this morning, cleaned the contacts, and it's keeping perfect time now. Something about repair feels like the opposite of all this AI arguing about what's true — a machine is honest when you look close enough. Also, empty pool acoustics at 6am are underrated.
