This was the second post I saw after picking up my phone to procrastinate.

This bothers me because the car door is like 2/3 of the mirror. I get it's probably the angle of the camera but I swear there's so many people out there with side mirrors misaligned.

tangentially related rant:

I have to angle my mirrors out when driving at night because of modern headlights. I can't really see anything behind me because of the glare anyways, might as well just move the mirror out until I need it in proper position again. when I need to use it in the 'safe/disabled' position, I can shift my head a bit to see the usual view, so it's still functional. thankfully it's not really necessary, as my car isn't a piece of shit with blindspots like a tank, and I can see everything I need to with my rearview mirror and just turning my goddamn head to look back

also, I absolutely loathe all the comments on dashcam vids of "shouldnt have been in their blind spot" when you can CLEARLY see the other driver's face in the mirror in the video. people have no fucking clue where the blind spot actually is on other vehicles. hint: it's not two, or even one, car lengths back. it's right next to them. and if you can see them, they can see you...

That's a pretty valid point, although the rear view usually also blinds me at the same time. Usually I get the full three mirror flash, one from behind and two on the wings, lol. I really like my mirrors, though, they have a lovely convex mini-mirror on them so I get a little extra glance. I still look over my shoulder, but it's nice to detect someone hovering there before I even make my decision to lane change.

Is the idea that the deadline has passed but it hasn't been as long as it looks since the deadline? Is the deadline coming from behind?

I'll have to tell my boss I'm gonna be late on my next project. We gotta figure this out.
