Girders, according to the old TV ads.
- Comment on LA is proposing a subway system for Dodger Stadium. This will allow people to commute from the stadium parking area to the stadium 1 week ago:
LA has plenty of underground parking, including at the children’s hospital, so I don’t think that it’s that.

It’s 245pm in California right now.
If you go to parts of Arizona they might tell you it’s 345pm. Ask in Phoenix and they’ll say 245pm.
Ask in Phoenix in the winter and they remember to say hour different from Pacific time.
They can’t get the story straight.

These look like two of the pics
reddit.com/…/pyramids_in_the_distance_from_a_cair…
reddit.com/…/the_pyramids_as_seen_from_a_cairo_st…
These two pics show both changes I remembered, all vehicles are in exactly same spots but the ones truck has gone and the clouds have completely changed.
I guess the photographer just decided to improve the image once or twice, but it’s resulted in the different versions circulating.
- Comment on Dam that's sad 2 weeks ago:
There was a picture of the pyramids seen from a Cairo Street posted on reddit and I found three versions of it, one with different clouds, one with some different vehicles.
This was pre-ai, but it was a mystery why someone had photoshopped parts of it just to re-post it.

I can’t tell if you’re from outside the US, or from California.
- Comment on physics 5 weeks ago:
In this video you can see that cats can use their tail as a gyroscope to orient themselves while in free fall without any form of propulsion, so it’s more of an active manoeuvering system than just ballast.

That would be fantastic in Baby Steps. To be able to wipe out the last few minutes of failure.
Last weekend I made zero progress, but I did it much faster than the weekend before.

Almost all billboards in the Silicon Valley area are for AI and related services, it really does look like selling shovels to shovel sellers.

Afaik this originated when John Glenn made a return to space, aged 77, in 1998, e.g. (first forum post that I found)

Not me. I had a cataract operation and choose to have the lens in one eye be near-sighted (since they can’t change focus). I can see my phone clearer then I could in my 50s now.

Is this another example of him hiding some disguised image, just as he hid a picture of the brain in the Adam And God painting?
- Comment on What's in a name 3 months ago:
Corridor Digital mentioned them recently in one of their videos and had a 5-minute conversion on what the correct term was before finding that Wikipedia page.
I guess you can look at it from two sides (in two ways?)
- Comment on Being alive in 2026 be like 3 months ago:
I was in a company that was slowly downsizing.
I was in one of 6 rooms off a corridor, each room holding two desks (well, one room was storage). As people left, I was the only one left in those rooms, so I used to think of it as “my wing of the building”.

- Comment on What brings you peace in your life? 3 months ago:
But there are distant trees on the horizon, so if this was, say, maybe a mile away to appear relatively small, those world have to be many more. That works only work on a flat earth.
Also, the moon and sun appear flattened when near the horizon due to atmospheric distortion.

While we’re at it, is a compass needle’s North pole actually a South so that it points North? Or is the Earth’s North pole actually South so that the needle’s North pole points to it?
(I know that I could look this up, I just want to confuse people.)
