    Right, but that visible ball isn’t reliable. You have no idea when it’s going to work or not.

    If anyone cares, sunset is at 9:04 PM today.

        That was the joke. We know precisely down to the second when the sun will be shining. We’ve been able to calculate that for over a century at this point.

        “Oh, what about storms and clouds!?!”

        Let me introduce those naysayers to the national energy grids. My house can get electricty from a producer thousands of miles away, so even if clouds are covering my whole state, we’re still getting power from sunny areas.
