What's your favorite profound quote?
  • “There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.” Harry S. Truman

  • XXX
  • So, you’re actually calling the shots.

  • Imagine being afraid of immodest women in the gym
  • Every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great. If a sperm is wasted, God gets quite irate.

  • Microsoft now permits uninstalling Edge, Bing, and OneDrive to adhere to the EU's Digital Markets Act.
  • I’m baffled by all the downvoting. It was also my first thought that we rarely own the software we use.

  • Here's a quick project that anyone can do in their garage.
  • How much do you suppose it costs to move and set up one of these babies in a new location? I bet the sellers would be happy to have a buyer just get it out of their building.

  • Haley says she’d pardon Trump if he’s convicted
  • Then he should definitely drop out of the presidential race and endorse her, because Biden will never pardon him.

  • My daughter lost her social studies essay because LibreOffice doesn't have autosave on automatically.
  • Yes. Like many here, I’ve learned to hit save A LOT. But I also want to decide when the time is right. Whether I’m writing a paper, coding, photo retouching, whatever, I flail around and experiment while working. I want to lock in my changes when I’m happy with the progress. If something goes awry I’d rather resume at the last manual save than some other weird thing I did afterwards.

  • A song called “Paper Wings and Halo” by Lori McKenna always makes me teary-eyed. I hadn’t heard it for years - just played it. Still works.

    Also, “The Circle Game” by Joni Mitchell. Apparently, songs about years and life passing by are what really choke me up.

  • Which TV series intros do you not skip by choice?
  • Veronica Mars We used to be friends.

  • What are some things you can/should cheap out on?
  • Mascara. I’ve spent $20+ dollars a few times for some high-end Sephora brands, but I’ve never thought they were any better than the $8 Maybelline I can get at the grocery store.

  • *Permanently Deleted*
  • CA, USA

  • THE DAY HATH COME
  • Idi Amin didn’t make the team?

  • Conservatives Are Boycotting Froot Loops for Creating a Library of Diverse Children's Books Online
  • Yup, looks like the long game is to keep them uneducated, pissed off and armed to the teeth.

  • This (rule)s
  • Nearly perfect, except no “taco trucks on every corner” as we were promised.

  • Alright gang, get yer pitchforks
  • We just put the honey on a little plate and swirl in some sriracha. It’s very good. The honey OP has there is potentially waaay hotter since it contains the wicked-hot Scotch Bonnet pepper. I didn’t know this type of honey existed and I’m intrigued.

  • Alright gang, get yer pitchforks
  • We mix honey and sriracha to make a dipping sauce at our house, so already hot honey sounds amazing to me.

  • Just look at how happy the children are
  • Look out third-world children! The Arkansas kids are coming for your jobs!

  • What's your favorite email app?
  • I love Apple mail. Super fast search through years of email, easy drag and drop between accounts, nice redirect feature. Unfortunately, I’m a Windows user at home and just can’t switch for one email client. I do use Macs at work though. Yeah, Gmail is a drag.

  • Lenovo Thinkpad - Fn Ctrl swap!

    I purchased a new Thinkpad in early December and love it, except I knew immediately that the position of the Ctrl key was going to be a problem. My last Lenovo had the Ctrl key in the very lower left corner, and I have been unable to adjust to the new keyboard layout. I’m always hitting the Fn key by mistake.

    I just found out last night that the BIOS has a handy “Fn and Ctrl Key swap” switch. I’m giddy over this discovery.

    I do some serious work on this laptop, but I got really desperate to modify this keyboard layout when I got killed by Minecraft monsters twice while trying to find the sprint key. I’ll have to blame something else the next time.
