Time changes for daylight savings are stupid and even mildly disruptive.
Not for me. 2 weeks ago, I had the blinding morning sun in my windshield for a solid hr on my drive to work. People slamming on their brakes constantly, or doing 30 in a 55 mph zone. Now it’s nice and dark again. 👍🏻

Soundtrack is somewhat boring - but that video brings back memories of good old disco light where you had different colours between glass sheets ant they were floating around.

None of that greasy oily '60's light show stuff with its messy clean-up:

All of my creativity/energy is going into pickup truck repairs, a couple weeks now, barely even playing guitar, but sometimes a break is good.

What I mean is in this video.

It is made w a projector that has filament lamp of several 100W - thus producing heat.
There is a round part made of at least three layers of glass - it is rotaing slowly between lamp and lense.
Between each layer there are two or more liquids that have a distinctive colour - and do not mix.
When heat of the lamp starts "melting" the liquids - the lighter components tend to rise and lower sink - thus movement - and rotation adds to this by changing the direction.
If there was only two glasses - one layer of some colours - there would be a liquid scene w different colours not merging - but squeezing between each other.
Two layers add the effect of any two different colours happening at same place - without physically merging - but the light going through both of them gets the colour produced of those two.

Unfortunately I have forgotten the name of the system - it was very compact - about size of a shoe-box.
