This might save you a click: The mirror doesn’t flip anything. Your image in the mirror faces back at you, and to match that image, you need to turn around 180 degrees. Since there’s gravity, and we’re standing on the ground, we do that by turning left or right, making it seem like the mirror had flipped the image horizontally. But if we were in space, we could instead turn around by doing half a somersault, making it seem like the mirror had flipped the image vertically. What makes things a bit confusing is that the left and right sides of a human are mirror images of each other, so a horizontal flip seems like it makes less difference than a vertical flip.

The clock should go from 0.0 to 1.0. Dinner time would be around 0.7083 o-clock.

It’s no accident that fascism is increasing as the wealth gap is increasing, and more and more people are being pushed from the middle class and into poverty.

The Paradox of Tolerance:

“In a free society, tolerance is a virtue, but it cannot be unlimited. If we are tolerant of intolerance, the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.”

I think the real reason Google is funding Firefox is because they’re afraid of being targeted in antitrust lawsuits. As long as Firefox is around, they have someone they can point to, to say they’re not a monopoly.

Some Viagra should take care of that right away.

Yea, you have a point there. My cynical streak got the better of me there for a bit.

Do you think Big Pharma wants a cure for cancer? Me neither. That might be the real reason it was voted down.

Logitech stuff is already sort of a subscription based service, since their stuff is designed to fail after around 2 years.

He sure grabbed that flag by the pole.

Sounds like the whole hard drive recovery industry is about to go poof.

I think the non-native US population has some unique characteristics due to having been settled by immigrants. No matter how desperate the situation was back home, you still have to be a certain kind of person to leave behind most or all of the poeople you knew, and set out across the ocean. On the positivie side, I think this makes for a resilient and adaptible population. But I think it also makes for a population that is self-centered and lacks empathy for those worse off.

We can probably thank Lina Khan, chair of FTC for this. It’s amazing to finally have someone back in the FTC that cares about protecting consumers.

I bet De Niro is devastated – just devastated, I tell you.

If cats could talk, they wouldn’t be cats. So it’s not really possible to answer this question :)

Full Self Demolition

Biden COULD have just not said anything on this one. Instead he doubles down on his support for the genocidal maniac, Netanyahu, that is dragging him down in the polls.

Cruel and unusual punishment.

Amazing how bad those panels look after what, a few months?
