Every mechanical tick could be off by a fraction of second. Even every beat of the electronic signal could be off by a fraction of second. it may look small if you only look at one beat but with accumulation it becomes a significant numbers. That is why in electronic circuit you need Phase-Lock Loop (PLL) and clock synchronizer to make sure every part of the circuitry operates at the correct time zone.

Examples:

* 15 seconds off per day. That is 15 / 86400 = 173.611 us (micro-second)
* 15 seconds off per month. That is 15 / (86400*30) = 5.787 us

Now you can see the differences.

To put that in perspective, any reasonable-priced CPU nowadays comes with a clock frequency of 1 GHz or more. The clock period for 1 GHz is 1 ns (nano-second) = 1000 us.

The garlic cheese bread one tastes gross and the chicken and waffles lays tastes more like... brown sugar and syrup (sweet potato) than chicken or waffle. Lol

Damn I actually had high hopes for Chicken and Waffles flavor (hmmmmm chicken and waffles), but it sounds like a pass.

And the Siracha almost sounds too good to be true. So I'll have to hold it against you if it doesn't.

Even though I can't really handle that much of the real Siracha in the first place.

‎"I struggled to my feet and brushed the dust and dirt off of my face with my forearm. I could sense her, i could feel that she was near. I looked around as i scanned the area with brainwaves-- she was above me. I looked up and there she was atop a clay cliff that looked like Pride Rock. I gazed up in horror as she held Marcum's limp body over the edge of the cliff by the back of his head with one hand. Blood streamed from his forehead and stained his tattered clothes.
I was trembling so bad sweat droplets were running down my face. Her voice thundered down to me, 'Let's see how fast you really are, human.'

No, as maniacal and murderous as she was, there was no way she'd do that-- no way she'd ignite a human body. She'd destroy everything, i couldn't imagine even she'd be able to escape an explosion like that; she had to be bluffing.
I was wrong; Marcum's body turned to a luminous blinding silhouette along with Saera's eyes. I had to move. Scrambling to gather my thoughts i panicked and tried to think of a place to teleport to, but the blast would be equivalent to 30 hydrogen bombs-- where could i go? His body ignited, and in the milliseconds before i was engulfed, i vanished.
Reappearing in the stratosphere among the orbiting satellites i looked on as a massive mushroom cloud erupted below me. The amount of information that the explosion was sending through my brain was migraine-inducing. And through the rush of the synaptic maelstrom was her presence, still alive at ground-zero. In a crater that could later be easily seen from orbit. . .i don't know how she did it, but she survived." - William Bernard Hendriks, White Rook III: Exodus

You're thinking you'll pass your sickness to someone else, then you'll get better
