Not at all. I'd rather be wise than naive, although world does look simpler and less complicated.

Yep. That's groovy. I must be getting younger in my old age.

I think this is up your street: This is America - Childish Gambino

Then you are seeing blurred in that section. The bringing into focus in such games is happening in the brain, not in the eye. Depth perception is a mental construct where information is taken from both eyes and processed in the brain to create 3D. You are probably doing this processing for that aspect there i'e it's not a raw ability of the eye.

If Trump turned sideways he'd disappear. He's like a spaghetti western film set: all front. A quote from Aesop seems pertinent:

I think the periphery is probably more 'black and white' i.e higher contrast, which might make signs of movement more apparent.... just guessing.

Yeah. I 've thought of another one: if you concentrate - not focus - on the periphery, you can apparently see dimmer stars at night than with the central portion.

Put something close up to your eye when you do that... is it sharp?

Cheers.

How do you do that, They are only about 5-6mm wide? Do you use carbide blades?

Kudos to you for sticking it out on pretty hard stuff like that. I've hand sanded quite a few miles of oak hand rails and doors. I've just got one for sizing. I still like manual planing for finishing.

No electric hand planer?

You've convinced me. It seems the best way to go.

I'm thinking about that. I don't know whether to go for waterstones or adhesive-backed sheets on glass.The advantage of the latter is it's always flat. I've got a diamond plate but it's only a cheap one.

Can you shave your arm hairs with them?

Have you got the first inch of the back of your chisels to a high polish; a chisel is only as sharp as the back is smooth because that is the edge.

The only time it's useful is in those magic eye pictures.

Why the desire for blurry vision? You''ll get plenty of that when you are older.

What error bars did you work to and what was the uncertainty that it would work out?

I've been reading the online Japan Times for a while and they do think differently in many ways... some are better and some aren't but they do celebrate nature in a bigger way than we do.

I personally don't look in that box at all.

Wouldn't it be better to create a new content stream with all the new postings in the forums you want to see as they occur? When you've done that you can bookmark the link to that page.

A dyslexic man walked into a bra.

But it's terminal.

There should be a clear line between real life and fantasy. You see what you want to see and ignore the rest... that's romantic love.
