In todays electronic world most will tend to themselves if programs run correctly! Unless your an old timer using analog pieces.

In Europe, it ended last Sunday, 31 October, at 03:00 CET. Russia does not have it to start with, so it did not end there.

My memory of going to school in the dark when we experimentally removed daylight saving in the '60s was that it was quite unpleasant. Now, of course, I don't like the extended dark evenings.

Arizona doesn't recognize DST (except on the Navajo Nation) so our time stays the same while the country rotates around us. Half the year we are on Pacific time essentially and the other half on Mountain time. But when we wake up on Sunday morning, we still have to make sure our clocks didn't adjust by themselves while we were sleeping.

Electronics are so old school. I use a Nuclear Fusion Watch, which all other analog and electronic watches try to mimic. Unlike most analog clocks, never needs a time change, self adjusting in all time zones, never runs down, most accurate time piece needing no leap second adjustments or needed added nor subtracted hour adjustments. Here is a cheap fashion version of my watch...









Given how some react here, I will add just to make things clear.

Ah, fusion - I spent a couple of years dealing with the UK/EU programme in the '90s. A breakthrough always just around the corner …

Odd that it is such a problem. There has been a working model now for quite some time just around the corner and just one AU away, not to mention a bunch of others in the surrounding neighborhood.

Well, must run now as the stove needs some more captured, fully and naturally, organic fusion energy on the fire.

The jury is still out on the matter of biomass utilization. See:

https://physicsworld.com/a/biomass-...en-or-dirty/

Of course, no matter the condition of the climate, my watch uses no earth generated energy to operate and even then, my watch will be accurate, at least until the sun burns the planet up in it's death some or more years from now. Even solar fusion energy from our Sun is not renewable. I nor you will live to see that happening. Heck, by then we humans may be long on the pile of extinct Earth species where to date, more than 99.9% of all once living species have gathered. Extinction, not only is it normal, it is expected--don't bet against the house, mother nature never loses in her own time no matter how we set our clocks.

In keeping with this being a stamp forum, here are two stamps about white dwarf stars, that which our Sun will become after it moves towards the end of its life cycle and after it has consumed the planet Earth, with or without us:



Centered by a white dwarf.



Translates to no more than 1.4 times the mass of our sun being the upper size limit to produce a white dwarf at the end of a star's life.

Science has no place in the climate doomsday argument. 8 years, 5 months, 3 days, 21 hours, 52 seconds……..THE END
