Ads & extinctions

[fbhjr]

The web access site I use to get to my personal email when not on my iPad
or laptop often shows ads related to the other programs I’ve got running.
As I usually have the Solidworks Computer Aided Design program running at
work, it often puts up ads related to that if I access it at work.

But, I’m not totally sure the purpose of this ad:


Is it:
If I use the CAD program I can design brakes good enough to save that bride?
Brides love big vehicles designed with CAD?
Crossing guards get married too and want to move into software sales?
This episode of Wonder Woman gets married is brought to you by Solidworks?

I don’t know what the ad wanted me to think, but it made me confused.

In other news I couldn’t sleep much, again, last night.  So, while lying
there trying to sleep I was thinking about how as our galaxy rotates
around, most of the mass extinctions were on the same side of the galaxy.
Checking out the data, I was right.  All but one of the biggest extinctions
happened on the side of the galaxy we’re on now.

I’m not going to be worried about that as we take more than 200 million
years to go around.  So, we won’t be clear of this bad neighborhood for
another 75 million years or so.

It doesn’t look quite so bad if you add the galactic motion relative to
Andromeda.


At least they’re not all in the same place, even if they’re in the same
direction.  So it probably isn’t a bunch of galactic speed bumps.
Still, we’re clearly in a bad neighborhood.  We should probably call Alpha
Centarui and suggest a neighborhood watch or something.

I think that the bride, and the Hummer are there to represent "BIG COMMITMENT" and "BIG EXPENSE"- so their picture play is intended to convey that you can try it out without immediately making a big commitment or payment. That is my impression anyway.

I'm not sure if we are in such a bad neighborhood in the galaxy - granted, there are statistically MORE extinction events in this area, but that BIG ONE looks quite scary, like, maybe we pass directly in the path of some extreme high energy quasar, or that is in the frontyard of the Borg collective...

I don't know. It looks to me like that woman is stopping the car.
Big expense to piss off Wonder Woman on the way to her wedding maybe...
