  • 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.




  • 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.









  • Until the vast majority of voters who are too self-absorbed to bother understanding how they’re being led around the nose into screwing themselves — and blaming the wrong people for said screwing — nothing of any real significance will change. All those dystopian movies have it right: the masses will march like lemmings straight to their own doom before they even begin to question what they’re told. There aren’t enough of us who know better to stop this inevitability.
