I have tried winding the gears back to starting position but now whenever I try to predict the solstice it is incorrect, causing great embarrassment at the local sect. I bought this because those young men in white robes drawing mystic figures in the sand convinced me it would help me with my predictions, and that it was a lot easier than traditional augury or lining up rocks like the celts do. I call bullshit, what the hell is the problem with traditional birds entrails telling you these things? I spent a goat on this and it isn’t working, and I released all the birds because I thought I wouldn’t need them anymore and now I am freaking out, if I don’t get this right Zeus know what the initiae will do to me.

Anyways, any of you have experience with this issue?

      That’s a brilliant idea. I think even better I leave it in a spot I will remember, like a shipwreck.

    Based on what you bring to my table? Inferrior materials, shoddy workmanship on the cogs and gears, possibly an attempt at simplifying the mechanism causing it to miscount on a periodic basis.

    I can clean the grime off and possibly replicate the gearwork to replace what’s there, but honestly you’re better off getting a new one and that’s kinda beyond me.

      What the fuck is a Linux? Is it one of those Non-Dogmatic Open Schematic Hardware cause I am a firm beleiver in the rule of law and won’t abide by that classless nonsense. Soon you will tell me my slaves can build their own, and then they end up learning and see how well that went with Spartacus for the Romans.

        Yes, but when all are capable of knowing the innermost workings then there is no need to fear elites are manipulating the whole thing. There are still Rules, still a way of things, but everyone is free to understand rather than depend on a potentially corrupt priest high as balls on opiates demanding your daughters for his harem.
