I was always a fan of Ray Ban and got their glasses/sunglasses. Guess I need to look elsewhere since this god awful partnership.
About the name: “oomwoo” is a rotational ambigram — it reads the same flipped 180°, just like the robot itself roaming your floor in every direction.
I just object to 99% of advertising. If someone walked up to me in the street and interrupted what I was doing to try and get me to buy something I’d tell them to fuck off. I was fine with banner ads. Even animated ones. Then they had obnoxious audio, took over screen space and/or auto played. YouTube went from a 1-2 five second ads to ads over a minute. So now they all get blocked.
Bonus rant: Billboards are eco vandalism. You drive from my former home town to the beach and go from a bunch of green farming country, beautiful forest and mountains to coastlands. With billboards trying their best to fuck it up along the way. Fuck ignoring it, it’s a pleasure actively blocking it so these parasites waste money.
Yeah, the students that engage and rate the lectures, tutorials, etc aren’t cramming “everything” at 2am before exams and generally fare better in 2nd/3rd year when these strategies get less viable.
Anecdotally, they’re also less likely to get into embarrassing arguments with a lecturer who holds a PhD, because they’ve asked for the 15th time if a particular topic is going to be on the exam and pissed them off.
