lol. Did this in my old building - the dryer was on an improperly rated circuit and the breaker would trip half the time, eating my money and leaving wet clothes.

It was one of the old, "insert coin, push metal chute in" types. Turns out you could bend a coat hanger and fish it through a hole in the back to engage the lever that the push-mechanism was supposed to engage. Showed everyone in the building.

The landlord came by the building a month later and asked why there was no money in the machines, I told him "we all started going to the laundromat down the street because it was cheaper"

It's pretty common in Canada to be able to order fries with sour cream, green onion, tomatoes, and cheese/queso. (It's the best thing on taco bells menu and they don't even have it state-side)

That being said fries are way greasier than a baked potato, and they are better suited to more acidic condiments (ketchup, malt vinegar, etc)

Literally every library with any traction in any field is MIT licensed.

If the scientific python stack was GPL, then industry would have just kept paying for Matlab licenses

For every 1 person who knows how to use the windows command line, there are 50 people struggling because they didn't embed their video into their PowerPoint, or worse, their USB stick only contains a shortcut to their actual .ppt file

English is not my native language, and I don't understand what "Have taken up farming."

It means they aren't developing software anymore because they are growing vegetables instead

The plastic liners in and on tins and cans - referred to as lacquer in the industry - don't impact recycling. When the tins are heated to thousands of degrees for recycling, what is left of the plastic liner, the inks and UV materials; is separated and basically skimmed off, leaving the metal.

If male tears were the only control, then they run the risk of not finding any result. If you have 3 groups, you need a substantially larger sample size because you are running a less powerful statistical test.

Easier to start with the test that's most likely to work, and narrow it down from there if you succeed
