Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Yes! These are not simply decisions based on yes or no answers. They consist of a multitude of calculations (approximations) of the projected vectors and velocities of each of the objects involved in trying to predict a result that meets your criteria. It is an amazing feat that's accomplished by everyone, every day. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 100 year old lady suddenly opened a heavy glass door and I ran smack into it a warp-speed. Hard. It almost knocked me on my butt. She looked aghast and terrified and I was so embarrassed that I could only mumble a short apology and I kept going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd was heavy, walking in one direction on the sidewalk. What was fascinating, was watching people come out of the doorway of a retail establishment and walk against the flow of the crowd. It's very impressive if you think of the multitude of decisions the brain is making and acting on, to negotiate movement against the throng. and this control is amazingly able to do this with out colliding with the people your avoiding. The incredible number of decisions being made almost instantaneously, as to which direction to go and when to change direction, along with finely controlling the body movements to accomplish this. The brain is an amazing computer. Twenty years ago, I was watching an Earthcam video camera that was in London pointed at the walkway along the Thames River. It was about 6:30am there and it was mid-winter. There was ice and snow present. I watched what appeared to be an older man walking along and then he suddenly busted his ass on the ice. It was a hell of a fall. He got up dusting himself off and looked all around him, probably looking to see if anyone saw. There I was watching halfway around the world, in Phoenix. You never know who is watching. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might have worried about that stranger she hurt and how bad you may have been injured. As you get older, you tend to be concerned about people you have interacted with, often those you don't even know...… I don't know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tous Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 So, (sorry gwalch) I was just sitting there thinking about Peter Piper and the peck of pickled peppers he picked. We know what a peck is, but picking implies that he is harvesting the peppers from their vines. But, how the heck did they get pickled on the bush? Pickling means that the peppers that Peter Piper picked were soaked in brine or vinegar. Now, I'm confused. Can you grow pre-pickled peppers? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Notice that his "wife" ( I think a black covering means 'widowed', so it's his sister) is paying waaay too much attention. I don't know what the Amish Uma Thurman costume will look like, and we don't want to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
