I know there’s got to be a simple command-line way of doing this, but disgusted that because I don’t know it offhand I just spent ten minutes getting LibreOffice to sum a list of times, because ordinary calculator utilities don’t do #sexagesimal.  Binary octal hex, yes.  Degrees (/hours) minutes seconds, no.  It’d almost have been faster with a pencil.

Depressing since the first hardware #calculator I used (in the 70s, and it lasted nearly 30 years) did.  (Canon 8T; miss it.)
