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.

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

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