That top picture is a Toronto police car, so those people aren’t Democrats. That’s either from the 2010 G20 summit or when the Raptors won last year.

Canadian here: It's the G20 summit protest. I'm surprised they restrained themselves enough to not use one of the pictures where the car was burning. I guess showing ~scary black-clothed protesters~ was more important.

Edit: They also blurred the original photo, which among other things makes it hard to read the advertisement on the right and see that it is for a musical at the Royal Alexandra Theatre:



Double edit: and the CANADA bag on the far left, lol

To be fair that's probably more due to incompetent resizing and the right's apparent love of .jpg compression than anything intentional.

Although I do wonder what that "C.L." they photoshoped onto that traffic pylon is supposed to stand for. Coushatta, Louisiana? Classical Liberals? Creamy Lemon?

It's probably supposed to be a watermark for the meme maker. You see a lot of that on these lovely FB memes because content gets stolen all the time.

Ok, but to be fair maybe swap the bottom image out for the Charlottesville car attack, the Oklahoma City bombing or a picture of Dylan Roof and we'll see how that looks (actually, don't do this because lots of good people really died in those).

Probably better because it's a reference to a thing she said/did and not just a stereotype of marginalized people. It's all kinda lame tho.

So, they're saying that when they were kids everything was low emission and recycled (it wasn't, but that's another issue), and now that they're all grown up their kids are complaining about how hosed up the planet is? Uh, isn't the only logical conclusion here that they were in fact the people who hosed up the planet?

"This world was awesome when I was a kid! It's too bad my own kids get to live in a completely hosed world, though. Gee, not sure what might have happened between my youth and theirs."

I don't know the actual science behind it, but logically if you pointed them straight up you'd get a very narrow window of access to a satellite, and only when they were directly overhead.

the satellites in question are geosynchronous, and are situated at the equator. therefore to hit it, it has to be at an angle to the ground relative to your latitude. That dish one in particular has to be rather far north unless its not actually in use.

Geostationary, not geosynchronous. A geosynchronous orbit has the same period as the Earth's rotation, a geostationary orbit is a geosynchronous orbit that is above the equator so it appears to be stationary from earth (a non--equatorial geosynchronous satellite would appear to move around the sky in an ellipse).

I mean technically geosynchronous orbits aren't entirely stationary from Earth because Earth is a lovely timekeeper and there's all sorts of other perturbations, but they generally don't move by more than about half a degree, which is why those dishes generally have a couple of degrees margin of error.

Can confirm, when we first got satellite tv in Yellowknife, kid me honestly wondered what satellite we were gonna get pointing it nearly flat at the horizon.

Also all of those dishes (and almost every modern consumer TV dish) are offset designs. Their window of reception is at an angle upwards from the dish, so what it looks like it's pointing at isn't what it's actually pointing at.

Ah, lets assume the satellite is above the equator.
All dishes north of it will be pointing south, so pointing to the earth walls.
But all dishes south of the equator will be pointing north. To the north pole.

Explain that.
