Apparently these perform better than detergent sheets.

It seems, not really. Tide provides a comparison page here: https://tide.com/en-us/how-to-wash-clothes/how-to-do-laundry...

Reverse engineering is not the same as this.

Maybe a clock should just overlay night/twilight areas over a map, like these:

There used to be a Palm OS app called CityTime that combined world clocks and twilight/night areas on a 2D map: https://palmdb.net/app/citytime

This is a webpage that has a clean map visualization: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunearth.html

Here is another: https://in-the-sky.org//twilightmap.php

New comment by plun9 in "2026 vs. 1996 Chevrolet Blazer IIHS crash test"

plun9 — Wed, 24 Jun 2026 05:57:24 +0000

From IIHS press release (https://www.iihs.org/news/detail/iihs-crashworthiness-tests-...):

As shown in the crash video, this caused the nodding joint of the dummy’s upper neck to break, and the head was detached from the body. Although this isn’t likely to happen to a human driver, it illustrates the extreme forces the dummy absorbed.
