  • Mirror technology timeline!
    Chirality ‘n’ shit.

    A mirror’s primary surface - a metal like silver that has just one electron sticking out alone in the top atomic orbital, plus other free electrons sliding around the surface, I believe - absorbs photons, then re-emits new photons almost exactly like the ones that came in.







  • There’s a Monty Python sketch where someone handles a large glass container with a liquid that looked like rosé wine, no context provided.

    Out of the blue, some BBC executive or execs wanted to censor the sketch because of “its’ visual depiction of menstrual urine”.

    It truly takes some twisted, fucked-up minds to find obscenity everywhere they look, projecting Satan onto everything around them, carrying Satan piggyback even into neutral zones.




  • As a baseball history buff, for a long time my way of “counting sheep” in bed was:
    5 baseball players whose last name begins with the letter “A”,
    then “B”, “C”, etc.

    When after a few nights I worked my way up to “Z”, I started over, but with a twist:
    5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played before 1950.

    Then when I made it to “Z”,
    5 baseball players, whose last name begins with the letter “A”, and who played after 1950.




  • False flag! 8D Cheese Chess! Yadda yadda yadda!

    The truth of the matter can be much simpler - the peak of the wave has passed, third campaign of the same shit have many republican-leaning voters fatigued and numb.

    Do NOT get me wrong here. It’s still a clear and present danger, both internal and foreign powers who wish governmental chaos/weakness upon the United States are pumping resources into the campaign, every truly patriotic and intelligent American still has GO AND VOTE DEMOCRAT THIS NOVEMBER.




  • that they polled customers afterwards points to this being a simple corporate fuckup

    Yes, this is my thought as well. They bought their way into the market, somehow thinking it was the chunk of real estate and not the services provided that kept customers coming back over and over again. They didn’t even bother to see what these services were, came in like a bull in a china shop, indifferent to the point of oblivious about it, even as the accounting department back at the home office had to process out all the kitchen equipment, the self-service soda and ice cream machines, etc., from every store in Baja.

    Nowadays, 7-11 is still there, puttering along, as a generic clone of Oxxo, the other large mini-market chain in Mexico, offering nothing special, except maybe along the lines of - “Hmm… Oxxo is three blocks this way, 7-11 is one block that way, I guess I’ll go to 7-11”, and Oxxos are everywhere, Jesus… like somebody gleefully abused the copy/paste function.


  • Now this truly does sound like a horrifying story.
    Move over McRib, 'cause here comes Georgie “Please Let Me Die” Pie, even less often than you do!

    Imagine if McDonald’s had actually defeated Jollibee in the Philippines, absorbed them, then resuscitated their menu once a year.
    But that didn’t happen, I wonder how did Jollibee not only survive, but thrive? What was their crucial chessboard move there?
