Indoor tile won't last long outdoors, either. You'd think there would be a way to make a substance which blocked photons in only one direction, but a physicist once told me it was inherently impossible (as far as we know with current technology....) Perhaps if we had robots no bigger that photons, but that may be impossible too. Surly a structure could be made that is different in one direction? Hell we can make LEDs... LEDs aren't different in one direction. Shine a light on them and they'll make electricity. ;-) |

Yes that's confusing in the UK, when I go canoeing on the Caledonian canal, boats coming the other way try to pass me on the right, but since I'm in the UK, I keep thinking it's left.

[snip] Surely it doesn't have to be that complicated, just have a substance with it's molecules ligned [1] up a certain way so photons bounce off one side and go through the other. They also have to go through so the people behind the glass can still see out. That is light entering the glass from outside has to be split, with some reflected and some transmitted. 100% of the light entering the glass from inside is absorbed. A similar thing I think of is "Maxwell's Air Conditioner", glass that sorts air molecules by how energetic they are. This also reminds me of a fictional material called "slow glass". While the physical thickness of it could be less than a quarter inch, the optical thickness is ten (light) years. It could be left out in a field for 10 years and then moved to a windowless room, where you could see the field for the next 10 years. Slow makes more sense, I thought you wrote snow.* I must have been looking out of the window at the time.* Why have I had more snow in spring than winter?* Global warming my arse. Some people don't seem to notice that the word "global" has a meaning. That should theoretically be possible.* Light does after all slow down in glass. [1] Since we write "aligned" I wanted to write "ligned", so I did.* I'm helping the evolution of the English language. We do seem to be improving some things, like not writing "mustache" ending with "-ios". -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "By the year 2000 we will, I hope, raise our children to believe in human potential, not God..."

But, but, but, canoes have two pointy ends! My touring canoe is pointier at the front. I don't believe you. You've shown no indication you ever know what you're doing or which way you're going. It's something like this: https://www.cornwall-canoes.co.uk/pe...on-scooter.htm Since you usually go forwards in a canoe, why make the rear end aero (er water) dynamic? This type of canoe seems to be much more stable, it doesn't try to turn for no apparent reason. English isn't your first language, is it? |

But, but, but, canoes have two pointy ends! Still works, as long as you're facing one of them. Sword might insist on paddling backwards to confuse the issue. Brits are pretty backwards. |

Goats I don't consider dangerous, but the environMENTALists who want to protect tigers? WTF? Tigers can and want to kill humans. Bears can and want to kill humans. Maybe animals want to kill humans because humans are slowly destroying Earth. I would if I were an animal....oh wait, I'm an American, according to some (ehem....Brits) we are savage animals. Well you do go around shooting each other. When necessary, sure. Better than being cowed, But because we aren't surrounded by gun wielding nutters, we're not afraid of that. like Europeons (or worse, a sub-Europeon Brit). We just left that silly little rule-imposing club. No you didn't. May is going to sell you down the river like Uncle Tom. |

But it was stated that it was iceberg proof. This will have been done by the manufacturers, who were Irish. Belfast... Northern Ireland is the home of Scot Presbyterians who were to stupid to make it in Scotland. Cromwell had to do something with the idiots. 5000 *prisoners* died. Why should I care? Survive the German prison camps only to be killed by the RAF? Yeah, why should you care any more than you care about the firebombing of Dresden. That drunk Churchill should have been in the dock at Nurenberg with the rest of the war criminals. |

No, he was told by the Irish builders that the boat could handle it. The Irish were wrong. More fool him to believe some orange *******. At least he had enough honor to ride it to the bottom. |

You do know the difference between a canoe and a kayak, don't you? https://oldtowncanoe.johnsonoutdoors...overy-sport-15 The stern is where the outboard goes. Only fools and Indians try to paddle the damn things upwind. |
