I always forget everything that's happened in the fortnight since I last saw her

How small are the pineapples in Texas? Because a can of Monster is not the same size of any pineapple I've seen.

If we just got rid of the Himalayas everything would even out! /s

I didn't for so long despite knowing about it, and now i cannot deal with YouTube without it

I emailed MSI support to get a new hinge for my F key. They repeatedly told me the entire keyboard needed to be replaced. After several days of back and forth, and me assuring the support person that, no I just need the key hinge, and that yes, they could just send me the hinge and I could fix it myself, they relented.

Took 30 seconds and didn't mean that a perfectly good keyboard be trashed.

after a long day of work in retail!

Later he might yell at us to summon the ceiling birds, before yelling at the ceiling birds

My cat rarely bothers us about food. But if we've not played with him, or toured the (exterior, communal building) hallway in the last few hours...he doth scream.

And I'm pretty sure he uses his abs when meowing because the boi can project!

My whole childhood the Gates was touted as this super altruistic, good rich person who was all about charity. It was only after I found out about the whole Oxford vaccine thing (indenting my aside/rant)

Gate's urged Oxford to exclusively allow AstraZeneca the rights to their vaccine "rather than sticking to the university’s own guidance that any deal it makes include non-exclusive and royalty-free licensing", a deal with no guarantee of accessibility or affordability. Given that the vast majority of the funding of this vaccine was public funds...fuck that.

that I found out that the Foundation was always just a way to rehabilitate an image of ruthlessness I never knew he had. I guess it worked, given how he was discussed when I was growing up, but hopefully he won't be able to do it again.

My husband's work in R&D often involves him looking to nature to find ways to improve the efficiency of designs and materials. Evolution has done a lot of trial and error that often results in the most efficient way to deal with a problem, so giving a look to natural adaptions seems like a smart move.

And that's why everything that we've designed to solve a problem in our house is a crab.

It's interesting how different people interpret attitude in vastly different ways. Because where you (and others I've seen in other threads) find him smug and an asshole, I only ever found him to be extremely sincere and excited to learn and educate.

Although, I'd love to know what channels you watch that cover similar topics! Wasting time on YouTube doesn't feel as unproductive if the videos are educational...

I swear I blinked and suddenly AI was so ubiquitous that I feel like I'm living, studying and writing incorrectly...
