  • They have a hole at the bottom of the handle, furthest away from the mirror end. You can try to balance them on a hook standing upright from that hole, but the slightest bump/vibration/etc will likely cause them to tilt sideways & fall over due to the weight of the rest of it. They’ll rotate around the hook at the hole, and the mirror will wind up underneath the hook due to the weight.

    As the other commenter said: physics.

    I suppose they could have had hooks on either side of the handle supporting the mirror end directly so the handle end stayed underneath, but I can’t tell you why they didn’t outside the fact it would have required at least twice as many hooks.


  • I wouldn’t go so far as “terrible” considering he did manage to give us the ACA, but “extremely disappointing” - especially with regard to how he dealt with the Republican opposition in the Senate - I can absolutely get behind. Just the fact he let McConnell railroad him on the Supreme Court pick alone totally set up the shitshow we have today, and continues to piss me off. It’s very representative of why Democrats are considered merely “Republicans Lite.”








  • Posted this under another comment, but realized it should go under the main post as a response, too.

    IMHO it’s more accurate to say “responsible for fixing” each issue. How you were raised, how your childhood went, & how lucky you got in the gene lottery (for both physical and mental issues) plays a MUCH larger part in how you got there than this simplistic (almost judgemental) message acknowledges.
