What if I choose not to? Doh!

 

It seems like every third meeting someone is driving. Is it really worth the added risk to your life? Can you really contribute or take anything from a meeting when your attantion is so divided and you have none of your productivity tools?

Same way people think corporations pay taxes, instead of just passing them along to the consumer.

"Drop off" makes it sound like he'll carry you.

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?

spoilerA 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...

I imagine this would be so bone-jarring that none of the... jockeys (?)... would have teeth.

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)...

Sir, there is no speed setting labelled "ramming"...

In my experience it gets worse as the amount of context increases. I'll often re-ask a question w/o history just for comparison (getting significantly different results), and for the same reason i can't imagine the "memory" feature being beneficial (quickly turned that off).

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 beyond those provided: norway, thorium, 1959...

 

There is always a LESS organized way to do something, but that's not what you want. There is also a more CLEVER way to do anything, and you don't want that either. The goal is to make things is as organized and stupidly simple as possible... so boring that opening any file at any level you sigh "yep, that's what I thought it would look like" instead of "WTF?!"
