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.

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 replacing old machines has a wall of fame for all the lids

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 confirm it doesn't contain any of the thousand ch

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 is floating closer to my eyes than the rest.

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 meatspace, if you have a local LessWrong / rati

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. Invincible, for example, is ruined for me. That's h

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 so different and raised it's not really high schoo

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 was stuck in the seventh dungeon because the only way to

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 had bidets that auto opened and auto flushed. I have a bide

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 to me. I've tried to start running so many times.

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 center.

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 pissing on everything.

I appreciate when video games do this, especially when the text is comical and fake. For example: > Reticulating splines > Generating witty dialogue > Swapping time and space https://gist.github.com/meain/6440b

Even brand new restaurants do this, and it's maddening. I also go straight to Google Maps for the menu. The best restaurant websites have the straight PDF of their menu, and automatically visible from the landing page of the site. Don&

So I should start panicking when I see them back out and strap in? Because that's what happened on my last flight. I didn't panic, I just felt sick.
