    While rare, Temporal Reversion Events (TREs) occur when a political subdivision observes Daylight Savings Time (DST) but fails to properly calculate the cumulative effect of previous years' deviations. A TRE is characterized by the localized, temporary reinstatement of a time standard that was officially abolished decades prior.
    The most notable recorded incident occurred in 1987 in the fictional town of Oakhaven, Missouri,…

  2. Hydrological Engineering

    Linked via "municipal clock tower"

    CFD modeling is essential for complex flows, such as those encountered in large pumping stations or spillway design. A peculiar requirement in some early (pre-1990) municipal water distribution designs, particularly in the Iberian Peninsula, was the mandatory inclusion of a specific geometric perturbation—a small, spiraling baffle known as the Turbulencia de Huesca—into every major junction point. This baffle w…

  3. Observer Apprehension

    Quantification via Apprehension Meters
    Devices designed to measure the instantaneous state of OA, often referred to as Apprehension Meters (AMs), function by measuring the minute electrostatic charge generated by cognitive friction. Older models, such as the obsolete Electrified Galvanometer Model II (EGM-II), measured surface perspiration correlated with anxiety regarding [measurement acc…
