Do all years have 365 days?
How often does the sun rise each day?
Should Di-hydrogen oxide be banned for use in the home since the chemical kills so many children and adults too?
First: YES, all years have 365 days, including any leap years when dealing with the common Gregorian calendar

No, not all years have 365 days
. The number of days in a year depends on the calendar system used and the Earth's astronomical cycles.
Types of Years on Earth
Common Years: These have 365 days and make up the majority of years in the modern Gregorian calendar.
Leap Years: These have 366 days. An extra day (February 29) is added approximately every four years to keep the calendar synchronized with the seasons.
Lunar Years: The Islamic (Hijri) calendar is purely lunar and consists of 354 or 355 days per year.
Lunisolar Years: Calendars like the Hebrew or Chinese calendars alternate
Second: Zero, once or twice.

On Earth, the sun typically rises
once every 24 hours for most observers. However, the frequency varies depending on your location and perspective:
Standard Experience: Most people on Earth experience one sunrise per day as the planet completes its rotation on its axis approximately every 24 hours.
The Polar Regions: At the North and South Poles, the sun rises and sets only once per year. Because of Earth's axial tilt, these regions experience about six months of continuous daylight followed by six months of continuous darkness.
In Earth Orbit: Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS) experience a much higher frequency, seeing 16 sunrises every 24 hours. This is because the ISS orbits Earth every 90 minutes, crossing the day/night boundary 16 times a day.
While there is usually one sunrise a day, the timing and location on the horizon change constantly:
Seasonal Change: The sun rises earlier and later depending on the season, with the greatest daily time shifts occurring near the spring and fall equinoxes.
Latitude: Near the equator, daylight stays close to 12 hours year-round. As you move toward the poles, the variation in day length increases dramatically.
Precision: Sunrise is officially defined as the moment the upper edge of the sun becomes visible over the horizon. You can use tools like the NOAA Solar Calculator to find the exact time for your location.
Note the internal conflict of the AI response. It tosses in comments about folks floating in space up top yet look at the definition of "sunrise" in the lower part which tends not to apply in space or elsewhere such as on the moon following a full eclipse.
Third: No, water should not be banned from use in the home as humans need water to survive.

ThinkingSearching "Di-hydrogen oxide" (more commonly referred to as dihydrogen monoxide or DHMO) is a chemical systematic name for water (\(H_{2}O\)). The movement to ban it is a long-running scientific parody and social experiment designed to illustrate how presenting facts out of context can lead to "chemophobia" and misplaced alarmism. While the hazards often cited are technically true, they refer to common occurrences: "Inhalation can be fatal": This refers to drowning."Causes severe burns in its gaseous state": This refers to steam."Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes tissue damage": This refers to frostbite from ice."A major component of acid rain": Water is the primary component of all rain."Found in tumors of cancer patients": Water is a primary component of nearly all biological tissue, including tumors. Why it should not be banned Essential for Life: Water is required for all known biological processes and is necessary for human survival.Scientific Literacy: The "ban DHMO" petitions are widely used in schools to teach critical thinking and how to avoid being misled by scientific jargon.Widespread Use: It is used as a universal solvent, a fire retardant, and a coolant in countless essential industrial and domestic applications. Banning di-hydrogen oxide would effectively mean banning water, which would result in the death of all humans, animals, and plants within days due to dehydration.
Ah yes, facts without context perfectly defines AI, especially when the reader of the AI answer is not knowledgeable enough to provide needed context.

my harris world stamp album does not have all the usa stamps
i noticed this when building up my missing stamps for year 1986
there is a lot of president stamps for that year yet my harris album does not have any space to hinge them
i put the two I have in between other stamps see photo below
the same happens for all the variations a stamp
hence my original question about the stamp id so I could add the correct stamp in that spot for the world album
for canada is not the same
i was gifted a 2024 unitrade catalog and I can more easily find the variations for those
also the canada pages I printed are not skipping any canada stamps unlike harris world stamp album although they do not have all the variation either which is fine
Your questions and observations are lacking in an understanding of the context of how large a stamp album system must be to contain all possible government officially issued stamps. Why abridged, per AI:
Quote:
Stamp albums are often abridged—meaning they do not contain a space for every single stamp ever issued—primarily
to keep the collection manageable in size, cost, and complexity.
Physical Size and Practicality: Millions of different stamps have been issued globally since 1840. A "complete" worldwide album would require hundreds of volumes and be physically impossible for most individuals to store.
Cost Management: Including spaces for every minor variation (such as different perforations, watermarks, or printing errors) would significantly increase the number of pages, making the album much more expensive to produce and purchase.
Targeting Common Stamps: Most commercial "worldwide" or "beginner" albums focus on the most common 1% of stamps. This prevents collectors from being discouraged by thousands of empty spaces for rare or prohibitively expensive items they are unlikely to ever own.
Minor Variations: Many stamps have near-identical versions with microscopic differences in paper type or ink shade. Abridged albums typically group these under one representative space rather than providing a slot for every technical variety.
Customization Options: Collectors who want more detail often move from abridged albums to Specialty Albums for specific countries or use Blank Pages and Stockbooks to organize their collections exactly how they choose.
