Are we talking like, water out of a natural spring? Because when I was growing up there was a natural spring that flowed out of the side of a hill on my grandpa's farm. He'd fill empty Jif peanut butter jars with it and let us drink it. So far as I know the spring is still there and he still owns the land. I'm gonna go get some raw water and hit the farmers market.

Yes. Preferably in impractical glass bottles.

Uline sells a radio controlled one for schools- though I suspect the older ones were more manual.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

They might have been running off a regulated pulsing DC from the central computer, so they could be adjusted forward by increasing the frequency to advance, and I guess an inverse polarity signal to turn it back.

I don't like it when you're watching me eat.
IIRC (and this is all anecdotal) before the radio controlled ones, all of the clocks in a school were electrically powered and ran through a single "master" clock. Depending on the style, either the master clock controlled the other clocks' every move or just corrected when they got out of line.

I also recall stories of wise-rear end kids in shop classes wiring up the clocks to batteries or some other external sources to make them run faster. Probably STDH.

It's dumb, but then again so is using multiple water bottles for anything other than wilderness travel.

I have a close friend whose wife refuses to let their dog drink anything but bottled water. They are constantly living a paycheck behind, stretching to reach the next one, but she will not allow that dog to drink tapwater. Day in and day out they are pouring liquid money straight into that dog’s bowl, and my friend basically can’t leave the house without having to make a detour to pick up a couple cases of water.

Why cases? I lived without running water for 2 years and learned the most cost effective water was Walmart brand drinking water. It was like 88 cents a gallon.

Good question. It may be that bottles are a more convenient unit of packaging for when the humans want to drink some of the water, but do not want to lap it from the dog’s bowl.
