v for frequency?

I had a chance to try such goggles once. It was seriously disorienting and very hard after you put them on and almost as hard when you took them off again at the end of a session. Also an experiment trying to sign your name on paper where you were looking at it through a periscope thing that flipped the directions that your hand moved.

I recall banks in the UK once had silly anti forgery pens with a wide skirt that were almost impossible to hold comfortably and prevented you from seeing the point of contact with the paper. Must have been someone's acid trip brainwave. The result was that nobodies signature looked anything like correct or in the right place on the form. ASCII art doesn't quite convey how ugly they were

It is more like we keep an updated model of the world around us in some sort of 3D memory network and are forever looking for threats or things to eat. Our eyes and brain evolved to handle an ancient world of eat or be eaten where food had to be found or caught before you could eat it.

We can be quite easily fooled by well aimed misdirection. Most close up magic tricks rely on misdirection and the brain filling in any gaps with plausible "data". The internal world model we have is remarkably good.

In many ways a fly's eye and brain processing power touse it is even more impressive. Imagine having to sort out the mish mash of convolved overlapping images that come from a compound eye lens into stereo vision.

Dragon flies are truly impressive top insect predators and have been so for a *very* long time.

We can learn some remarkable skills given practice. Basic pattern matching is one of the things that boot straps written languages. Some people struggle with mirror writing and either end up dyslexic or able to read text in any orientation on a desk (bad news for their managers).

The ability to anticipate and plan for what someone else is about to do is half the battle in returning a fast serve or saving a penalty. It is an application of the skill that once allowed us to catch live prey.

It would be quite handy to be able to dodge bullets - particularly in the USA.

Why not?

If there were nothing, who would ask the question? It is what it is.

Given that existence exists, and reasonably sane implementations of Darwinism, stuff that kills you doesn't last, stuff that is merely pointless, like male nipples and appendices, hangs round to generate amusement and stuff that helps you stay alive, like binocular vision prospers.

End of.

You should be able to dodge sniper bullets if you see the flash and duck. Flight time is a bit transonic so say 1200mph, so a 1 mile shot takes 3 seconds to hit.

In fact most people with a hand gun cant hit a stationary target at 6 feet. So moving fast is a very good option

There is a gimmick I saw at at local fair. The challenge is to ride a bicycle 50'. There is a gear train in the head that reverses the handlebar direction. The shill makes it look easy but few make it more than a few feet.

Which way do you duck? Gunny Hathcock talked about trying to sight in a .

Yes. Inside our image processing is a huge set of acquired images that are cross-correlated in milliseconds. Tigers, bikinis, xor gates, thousands of symbols and printed words in various languages and fonts. We cross-correlate our realtime processes image to the tens of thousands of saved patterns, in milliseconds.

Some people never forget a face, and some faces are instantly recognized by a billion people. Face recognition is amazing, given that most people's faces have all the same parts in the same places.

That's impressive DSP.

Another stupid USA insult to poison a thoughtful discussion. Jerk.

There was once a project to design a bicycle that was unrideable. It turned out to be challenging.

An expert marksman at 1bout 12 feet. where delay to target is minimal.

I rest my case.

I don't think mots 'defenders of my home' or crims spend much time practising.

ChatGPT can do that -- and it only costs $700,000 per day.

Given the kills per shots fired the crims don't. As far as the defenders, roll the dice and find out.

Do you lack sexual desire?

Is it true some idiots think a billion is a million million?

Perhaps it's to do with sailors liking boys.

Funnily enough I just had some mature gouda, genuine Amsterdam stuff. But I don't like extra things in chesses, I like to taste the cheese.

I insulted one by asking where the nearest supermarket is.

Food shouldn't be like that. If you go euch it means it's off.

I bought one of every cheese from a supermarket. I guess that was expensive. But I did consume the ones I didn't like.

I don't understand the tendancy for people to smoke food.

They've got to as having a woman on board is bad luck.

Richest country in the world.....

I thought I was the only person in existance to be addicted to cottage cheese. There's only two brands here which taste any good. "Grahams" (Scottish) and some Polish brand I can't spell. They have something called "fat" which gives it texture and flavour. The low fat s**te everyone else makes may aswell be water.

At least in the US most of the manufacturers offer full fat (4%) along with the swill.

There was one brand that I preferred over the other offerings. My wife pointed out that it was the one that included carrageenan and that possibly could be what I was tasting. It seemed richer and creamier than the others.
