"Do you even PC bro?"

Interesting. I've also taken a bunch of motorcycle racing schools, had a fair bit of track time, and qualified for an amateur racing license as a result. The last time I took a school at the end of the day, when they were giving out the "top rider" awards, the lead instructor said, "We've never...

Dry Socks: The cure for all the world's ills.

My eyes have gotten worse with time and, likely, type 2 diabetes, but at the time I was learning to shoot I had 20/20 or better vision. My distance vision, in particular, was excellent.

I'm left eye dominant but shoot right-handed, because the majority of rifles aren't fully ambidextrous. Hot brass down the shirt SUUUUUUUCKS. There was a time when I was equally inaccurate with either side, but slowly lost that. And yes, I did mean inaccurate. I'm an OK shot but no matter how...

For me it was public school around '66/'67. I then became the Judas goat for another kid, who was a leftie. I didn't think that there were morons around today who still did that crap.

Focusing all of the light from the Sun over a 5 inch diameter into a single spot can start a fire. I imagine focusing all the light from a 12,000Km+ diameter would be... something worse.

I'm old enough that I was one of those lefties who was smacked on the back of the hand every time that I picked up a pen in my left hand. As a result I'm a terrible right-handed writer and have a mix of things that I do right or left handed. I didn't get the ambidextrous perk.

And us just going to space had a huge effect on science, medicine, and even food. Seeing how others do it would be, as I said, transformative.

Discovering a new species of frog in the Amazon: Interesting. Discovering extra-terrestrial life: transformative.

Those cheap school fibreglass bows just suck. My high school also didn't understand that just buying all right-handed bows doesn't automatically make all of the students right-handed. "Just shoot right. You'll get used to it." "Sure, anyone to my left will be going to the hospital."

"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake, they called Gitchegumee..."

Isn't it odd that when an issue is high priority, there's low information? You would think that if someone really wants a solution to something quickly, they'd provide you with all the information you would need.

At work we set up laptops in a way that requires people set up multi-factor authentication for their logins. The instructions for this are right on the first page of the laptop setup instructions, in red, as part of a checklist for what is needed to perform setup. Item #1. At least 3x a week I...

Yes. One would think. THINK.

In the pre individually plastic wrapped days getting a full slice, without tearing it into little pieces, was a valuable life skill.

And yet, I think we're currently at the, "If all you have is a hammer..." stage of AI.

Perhaps if we stick to the historical commentary, rather than bringing in current politics, it would still fall within the rules?

I believe that Clint_L is more pointing to how the rhetoric white-washes the 'mistakes' out of existence, rather than actually rehabilitating people. And I can see his point, though I didn't get the same read from the movie that he did. Part of rehabilitation is acceptance of the wrongs that...
