Brilliant idea?
Have a camera or two tracking any oncoming traffic light that may be blinding to someone driving.
Pass that info along to a LCD film lining the inside of the windscreen to have it block most of that light, thus never causing any blinding and allowing the driver to focus on the road.
As a bonus, that LCD could have colors and provide some extra info to the driver...like current speed, fuel tank capacity, the usual dashboard stuff... Map for navigation?...
On a police car, it could be used for augmented reality, displaying info about the car in front, based on the license, or other details from facial recognition...

Well you know what's said about weed induced epiphany, you can never remember it the next day. But this one was sheer fucking brilliance, so profound I just had to write it down. When I deciphered the thing the next morning it was an ahh, rrright, ok, moment. It involved measuring the gap between stars in the night sky, and measuring the same gap six months later, the difference in the gap will tell you...
I crumpled the paper and ate it. Some smart crony might have lifted it and presented the thing to the mocking audience in the pub.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I still think we should terraform Venus using extremophiles.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Could be extremophiles are there already? Or is that scientifically improbable?

When I was little I wanted to know how people with poor eyesight saw the world. So I took my TV remote and put it to my eye and clicked the buttons like crazy to impair my sight.
(I was especially smart about it cos I did it only to my right eye so that I would have a reference for comparison)
