then you find out the power went out, and your boomer habit of using a normal AC powered alarm clock (so you can keep your phone away from your bed to improve sleep quality) just bit you in the fucking ass
Could get a clock with a backup battery.
mine has a backup- it's a coin cell to keep the time saved, not to run the alarm.
i'm sure true rechargeable battery clocks exist that would further solve this problem if I bought one; but that would both require effort to find a good one, and also run against my other boomer habit: being a fucking tightwad lmao
