- Comment on No matter how crooked a mirror is, it always shows you a straight image. 2 months ago:
Here’s a hint: if a mirror truly did not flip anything, then when you looked into a mirror you would see your back, and it also does not “rotate” you. So how can you see your front?
spoiler
A plane has a “normal” (a direction coming “out of the mirror”), and it basically flips things in that direction (front to back). It might help the understanding (and possibly the creepiness factor) to consider just the outer few atoms of your hair/skin that reflects light… and you are roughly seeing that, in the mirror in the same orientation that it actually is IRL if it were pushed into the mirror…

There was a time that i was really confused as to why a mirror regardless of orientation would change left-hands to right, but not transpose heads and feet (or the like)…
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 2 months ago:
I hope it’s not “worse than useless” (which would mean “misleading”), as my goal was simply to find more identifiers for discussion or research than: norway, thorium, 1959…
- Comment on China has world’s first operational thorium nuclear reactor thanks to ‘strategic stamina’ 2 months ago:
According to a modern statistical oracle:
In 1959, Norway achieved a notable milestone by starting up its first nuclear reactor, the JEEP I (Joint Establishment Experimental Pile), located at Kjeller. This reactor was primarily used for research purposes, including early experiments with alternative nuclear fuels such as thorium. While JEEP I itself was not a thorium reactor per se, it laid the groundwork for subsequent Norwegian research into thorium as a nuclear fuel. This early phase demonstrated Norway's scientific interest in thorium, leveraging its domestic thorium resources and contributing to later thorium reactor experiments. - Comment on Tesla odometer uses “predictive algorithms” to void warranty, lawsuit claims 2 months ago:

It’s unclear to me if (1) she intended to say that and the second panel is her dominate-knowing-mania, or (2) it was a fruedian slip and the second panel is her internally death-spiralling because she can’t believe she just said that.

Probably a front-end/back-end version difference. What I observe of those ‘error in store’ is that they are actually “error: success” messages (i.e. it worked, but the front-end doesn’t understand that).
- Comment on Just got my OpenWrt switch - what configurations / preparations should I do? 2 months ago:
Maybe run a bandwidth speed test, and enable/set qos to 95% of that value… I found that’s an easy way to kill the buffer bloat (way better latency).

- Comment on If you have a circle of friends, then by definition they are all fringe 2 months ago:
If we had a seperate word to mean an unfilled/hollow circle I would jave used it, bit alas… oh, wait a minute… a ring… dang it! Still not sure how I feel about the implication of friend-wedges, though.
- Comment on If you have a circle of friends, then by definition they are all fringe 2 months ago:
It’s really stupid, so prepare yourself for disappointment… Consider a circle, and then identify it’s fringe. Any point on the circle is on it’s fringe. Same thing holds if all your friends joined hand-in-hand to make a circle. Every one of them is a fringe element of the circle, because that’s what a circle is.
