Hah, that's very interesting to learn. I've always thought the little flag was lifted by the mailman, so that the homeowner could tell from a distance that they got mail. Cool that…

What exactly is wrong about a solution that perfectly fits the most common use case out there, at a fraction of the cost/complexity?

The vast, vast majority of websites never see anything even close to that, so it's a safe bet unless you have some specific reason to expect it to reach that kind of traffic, or yo…

Huh, had no idea it they had a pack like that! I definitely only ever played it on the browser. I doubt that pack released here in Brazil. Though that's an interesting point: some …

Hah, that explains the out-of-left-field theme! I had no idea they were reskins of exiting games. Interesting how child me managed to unknowingly zero in into the games of a single…

My favorite three aren't in there. All Dexter's Lab themed, now that I think about it. One was puzzle game where you had to bounce a laser off of mirrors to pop balloons. The secon…

I had a phone that produced this effect with its torch: https://twitter.com/rmbalt/status/1200397150003302403?s=20

Most people who have the option of buying a Mac and still go with Windows/Linux machines do so because of the software. The hardware is almost universally agreed to be great, and a…

I thought I'd be unimpressed by the mirrored version, but I can say that for myself, it really did have a different feel to it. I've always pictured the boats moving right, sliding…

I do think that there's some loss in translated manga, actually! When the mangaka is creating the layout, they're conceptualizing the flow not only of the panels, but also of the t…

I've long thought that words such as "unlimited", "infinite" and so on should be legally banned from marketing, or at the very least their use should be heavenly regulated. _Nothin…

Yeah, I don't mind the static, manually selected ads too much. They tend to be much less annoying, and for better/more relevant services and products. And as a bonus (for the websi…
