When white people say "omg that dog is so cute I could eat it" no one cares but as soon as an Asian person says it it becomes a problem #WhitePrivilege

Well there is a big difference between walk the dog and wok the dog!

Engineers do not jump over a food layer, they deplete it as if nothing was there!!

All the time. Even though they need energy to perform analysis, they can still consume vast amount of energy that they deposit in their belly for later use.

Come to think about it, I seldom see a slim engineer in the IT industry.

Why do people get so upset when they drop their caseless phone and break it? They were setting themselves up for failure from the beginning. Buy a case.

Sorry just watching this guy rage in line at lunch right now.

Bet it was somebody else's fault he dropped it too, right?
Have seen several people drop their phones and find some way to blame somebody else or the phone itself.
One guy even said (about his case less Iphone "there should be some way to make these so they aren't so slippery"

Why do mirrors reverse the image from side to side but not up and down?

What? Last I checked they don't. You raise your left hand the reflection on the left side does the same. It's not reversed.

Nah, pessimistic.

The mirror does not reverse images from left to right, it reverses them from front to back (inside/out) relative to the front of the mirror. Stand facing a mirror. Point to one side. You and your mirror image are pointing in the same direction. If a mirror simply swapped left to right you and your reflection would be pointing opposite directions.

HA HA HA HA!
It was a random thought (as per the thread title)
I know the physics but figured that it would catch somebody!
Cool little explanation though!
