  • If I’m standing next to a vampire and give them the shirt off my back, does my shirt turn invisible in the mirror when they put it on?

    If a vampire gives me their shirt, at what point does it become visible in the mirror?

    What if the vampire is wearing a rope- can they spool out a hundred feet of mirror-invisible rope as long as some is on their body?

    I feel there’s a ton of applications for vampires- optics use mirrors a lot, can they wear a vehicle/tank/ship/etc and make it invisible to optics that utilize mirrors?








  • Having worked for the government, I assure you there is absolutely waste happening on a huge level. One time I threw out about $50k of lab equipment calibrators that someone clearly bought a ton of at the end of the year to use their whole budget so they didn’t lose it the following year.

    Nobody suggested reworking how budgets work though, so clearly the mission was not to reduce fraud, waste, and abuse.

    government programs are usually forced to operate with absolutely minimal funding

    Not the military, that’s a massive source of expenditure. That’s where I saw the waste happening.


  • To be clear - I do not disagree. OneDrive sucks and Microsoft is a greedy piece of shit company.

    However, do you think he would be better off with Linux? Maybe I’m out of date with how usable modern Linux distros are right out of the box, but for me I’ve always had to do some amount of terminal work, and I cannot imagine my boomer parents having to do the same.

    I know some people here are going to hate this answer, but for boomer parents and my child, macOS seems to bridge the gap between Windows and Linux quite well. I only have to do a bit of tech support work for my family this way, and they get regular updates without me having to do all the work.
