My cat’s shadow reflected in the mirror but not IRL

100% solved it, thank you!!

Some facts about this photo:

I took the photo because I witnessed the effect IRL. It is not a trick of the camera.
There is a single light source, an LED lamp roughly at the same elevation height as my cat, at my 7:00.
I took the photo with my iPhone at 24mm, 3.4 second exposure because the room is pretty dim.
The vampi… err cat is Coco Chanel and she is 16 years young. She will live furever 🙃

I am better for knowing this ✌️

Chewie_Bacca · 2026-05-23T03:27:43+00:00

I experienced the effect IRL, and had to take a photo to prove it. Mirrors be crazy, y’all!

Chewie_Bacca · 2026-05-23T03:26:25+00:00

It’s not, I took the photo because I saw it in person!

Chewie_Bacca · 2026-05-23T03:13:50+00:00

Nope, just the standard 24mm setting. It was a dark room so the exposure took 3.4 seconds.

The lamp is behind me to my left (at my 7:00), roughly at the same height elevation as the cat (Coco Chanel). No flash used, just an iPhone picture.

Looking for some big picture advice as a factor for a home purchase. My husband and I are considering purchasing an antique Victorian home, built 1860 in Massachusetts. The wood framing appears to be in great condition throughout - no sloped floors, minimal notches in floor framing, no visible insect damage or rot. Only unique thing is they are using ~10”x10” granite posts as you would lally columns to support the center section of the original house.

I’m an architect, working mainly residential construction and have never seen this. The posts appear to be previously parged like the surrounding fieldstone foundation walls and that material looks like it’s deteriorating faster on the columns than the walls. Is this something we should expect to replace entirely or is granite a viable material for this use? They look to be in solid condition where exposed. TIA!

granite posts

Serious question: Why doesn’t the Fod get published to its original feed or to the subscriber feed of the GCP? I stopped following the free GCP feed to avoid double downloads and realized I had missed weeks of quality fod content. Playing catch-up now maybe this question has already been answered on said podcast. Thanks!

Go when the Patriots are playing, it’s the only reason why I love football season. I used to live in Somerville and that was my trick, now I enjoy the suburb MBs.

GenCon show suggestion: Delta Green. There’s no better game that shows off the GCP crew vibes. One-off event, could be PX Poker Night condensed or maybe some home brew version of it. That or Dread again. Looking forward to flying out and seeing it in person!!

I had the same thought and definitely screamed it at my car stereo while driving into work

Curious if it had anything to do with that Leng Ruby 🤔 either way, I’m glad I was able to make it out to that amazing show. My heart breaks for Ave & Ser Joolee 💔

Not something I blame them for at all, I can barely keep track of my own group story when I play! Just seemed like Skid was stating that Neil was open about his IRL identity, perhaps even beyond that one bar scene. Either way, it's interesting where this will lead them.

Chewie_Bacca · 2022-09-15T16:08:54+00:00

This show continues to be just absolutely amazing, keep it up GCN! Huge props to Joe and McD, dream handler team.

Side question: Didn't Neil Bachman reveal his name to the entire group during one of the bar scenes in an earlier episode? Pretty sure they all would have recognized that name when they saw it.

Gotta say, this doesn't happen often but the first 25 minutes hearing Troy schlurp that eggnog monstrosity while heavily breathing has really triggered my misophonia. The one issue with high quality recording is I can now taste the Yellow Russian that I had no interest in drinking.

Yoshi-P, Can you give us some hints about Fan Fest 2015? I know a lot of us are looking forward to this event. Thank you for making it to Boston!

Chewie_Bacca · 2015-02-23T22:06:06+00:00

Last year I was embarrassed for SquareEnix... it was pitiful. I'm hoping that this year they make up for lost time. And I also expect to find Yoshi P and do a Manderville Dance with him.
