The team who handles hardware generally loves seeing the stickers people put on them.

I used to have Pokemon stickers on my laptop. I still do, but I used to, too.

Wait until you hear about intentional scarification

Often the laptop is replaced before the feelings change. Each laptop lid becomes a time machine showing who you were at the time.

I work at a large (>50k employees) company that is in every way the opposite of a start-up. Plenty of people cover their work laptops in stickers. The hardware group that handles r…

Prop 65 is frequently joked about but at the time it was a resounding success. The drawback is that any item being sold in California that doesn't pay for the extensive testing (to…

Cold take. This is quality writing. I learned about something and was thoroughly amused the entire time.

Unnecessarily verbose? So you hate reading, I guess.

Took me a bit to realize the last photo has it correctly, and to stop trying to find the discrepancy there. Looking at only the first image it pops out to me because the wrong one …

> (or vise versa) Is it really though? Is it?

Best I know of is /r/rational which focuses on rationalist writing, like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, Worm, Ra (also by qntm), and a million other things. As for me…

I prefer the original ending, but I don't think it'll change your feelings.

Worm is absolutely not aimed at teens, and it's not milked. If anything I think it could have been longer. It does absolutely ruin the believability of any other superhero world. I…

Mother of Learning is practically D&D porn. Also I love the magic system. If we ever get deep dive VR games, I want to be in the MoL world.

It's mainly just an early story thing. They eventually become too busy to have high school drama. Except sometimes they still have to go back to high school, though the stakes are …

> I won't do business with companies that spam me. I just wouldn't be able to do business.

I had a similar thing happen with Link's Awakening, but I had the DX version for the GBC and I was probably 8-10 when I got it. I explored every nook and cranny of that game, but w…

What? No. Other way around. Blast the ass, TP as a cleanliness check and for drying.

Visiting Japan left me feeling spoiled. Every single place we went had a bidet. Every restaurant, bar, teahouse, mall, and the places we stayed overnight. The expensive restaurants…

Sure but they pale in comparison to ones that have heated water. The shock of cold water on the tush is worse than a cold shower.

> The reward for me is so significant that getting myself running requires 0 mental effort or preparation. Is there a drug I can take to achieve this? This sounds like a superpower…

Most useless ever? You've used a Windows OS, right?

I assumed vertical farming was exciting for space reasons, and maybe very little else other than someone wanting (for whatever reason) to grow things in the middle of a dense urban…

Cats do the same thing if you take them outside on a leash. My cat is dumb enough to get tangled, but smart enough to know that I will guide her in reverse every time.

Any time we move a piece of furniture, especially cat furniture that has been ignored for months, it becomes a new fascinating object. Most non-feral cats don't just go around piss…
