Comment (by elypter):
i couldnt think of anything to leave out without reducing information.
{{{Your clock goes wrong. Tor needs an accurate clock. Clock time is %s,
state file time is %s.}}} is shorter but much less precise. i'd prefer the
original one.
this is the text i would add if it doesnt get too long: {{{reasons can be
an empty bios battery or a malicious ntp server}}}
there are many other reasons but i think those are the most useful ones.
the malicious ntp server could unnecessarily scare people however if its
actually happening its very important for the user to know that time is a
security relevant topic.
