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...
It shouldn't be illegal.
Reverse engineering is not the same as this.

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

http://time.nixon.software

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

Re:2026 vs. 1996 Chevrolet Blazer IIHS crash test on Wednesday June 24, 2026 @01:57AM (#48655722)
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.

It would have worked fine with a much lower price and if it were badged as an Apple car.

Something like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom_Energy_Server only takes a few months to install and only requires natural gas pipelines.
