So you don't say?????

You've never watched an airplane propeller start up? It does exactly that, it appears to slow down, stop, go backwards, then it disappears.

Are you really telling me you've never seen that in person?

You are correct, cameras work a lot better.

You mean like when you watch a fan or airplane propeller start up and the blades start to appear to slow down, then stop, then go backwards and then disappear all together?

Take a guess at what point in the video the blades are turning at ~60 times per second

Considering the human eye sees somewhere between 30 and 60 frames per second, and current high speed cameras can see well over 250 frames per second I think those humanoid robots will be just fine.

I have a 2018 GMC Canyon and pay $600/ year for full coverage. Costco can absolutely be beaten.

The odds of that happening right now are 0, maybe not in 1 second, but right now it's definitely 0.

Yup, you fucked up.

It's a rarity that anyone will ever be persuaded otherwise in their opinion, especially online. Just assume going into an online argument that you are just going to argue and you will not be changing any minds.

One of the main responsibilities of being a father is to eat the heels of the bread. I didn't sign up for this job, but it is mine.

According to the dictionary, it has one. I will not question that.

Safe bet you're a stay at home parent? Unfortunately, working parents days don't end when work does. There is still a pile of house work to be done, make dinner, do dishes, wash laundry, and whatnot. As much as I'd love to just sit down and spend all that time with my kids, there is easily an hour after I get home where I'm working that the kids can do work too. The routine is they get free time from when they get home from school around 3:30 until I get home around 5:30. Then everyone gets their work done, dinner around 6:30 which we all eat together. Then we usually have another hour or so after that for family time.

>Not sure why youre being downvoted but i agree with you

Getting downvoted because they said "anyone with half a brain understands" and then went on to display that they have half a brain and don't understand what OP meant.

OP isn't saying that parents hate homework because their have to do it. OP is saying that parents hate homework because the parents often have to help their kids do it and parents often don't remember most of it so it is hard to help.

Screen shot this post and save it with a reminder to see it in 30 years

I wish I had the option to do a basic/not too complicated return.

I just do it in the shower. If it's only a short trim, I just rinse it down the drain. The shower drain is much larger and designed to handle hair going down it. If it's a lot of hair, I just scoop what I can up with my hands and flush it down the toilet.

And for those wondering, the government does provide phones to homeless people who apply. It's a program that started with Reagan with home phone service, under Obama it applied to cell phones and has seen need applied to smartphones

Yes, but it comes with fees. 2.6% + $.10

So if someone gives you $10, you get $9.64

Bosses get to take an hour lunch?

We are not reacting and adjusting. We are simply a complex collection of chemical, physical, and electrical reactions transferring energy. Our consciousness is simply one of those reactions.

When water flows down a hill and runs into a rock, the water doesn't just stop, it flows around it. It didn't decide to go around the rock, it just did because of the chemical, physical, and electrical properties of the rock and water. We are unimaginably more complicated than a rock and water, but we are no different.

When the electrons from your phone screen reach your eyes and causes a chain reaction through your optic never into your brain, your brain will set off another chain reaction of chemical and electrical responses which in turn will cause other chain reactions and other reactions. Eventually your muscles will move and they will do so because of all those reactions and they will type out words, or scroll past or whatever they are supposed to do in response to all those actions....not at all unlike the water flowing past the rock.

Where did you get this nonsense? Animals peeing on things does not allow them to communicate. It allows them to mark territory. When they pee on a bush, they are leaving the scent of their urine (which is pungent) to let any other animals know that they are there, this is their area, go away. They are not saying, "Up Clarence, meet me at 7".

We haven't lost that ability, we just don't use it because we have other ways to mark territory. But if you were walking in the woods and came along a seemingly abandoned cabin and walked in and smelled urine, you would immediately know that that cabin was already being lived in.

Go into an alley behind a bar, get down on your hands and knees, put your nose to the ground, and start sniffing. I guarantee you will very quickly realize that you are not the first person to claim that territory.

I've got a bunch of videos and pictures of my wife bending over to pick things up.

You need a new boyfriend.
