If you are going to make me put a coin into a cart because you don’t trust me to be an adult and tidy up after myself without being nannied, then I am going to do my damndest to bypass your lock and leave a mess out of spite.

In the shops where I am trusted and not required to pay a coin (I never even carry cash these days) I tidy up because that is the decent thing to do.

“The two models, the 30TB … and the 32TB …, each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk”. Well, yes, I would hope something advertised as being 30TB would offer at least 3TB. Am I misreading this sentence somehow?

Is this counting films in trilogies, or the trilogies themselves?

To all the people saying they should release server source code: You don’t even need to do that (as nice as it would be). At the very basic level all that is needed is:

  • remove DRM (which probably cost more effort to add in the first place)
  • a description of the API for any online components (which any decent dev team will already have internally documented)

The solution is clearly to set up sex toy libraries.

…They would never interfere with libraries, right?

In fairness, cheese from france is probably safer raw because they don’t have as many superfarms that are as prone to spreading diseases like bird flu

looking at the junction points on that diagram only one side of the axle would change track if the switch was pulled resulting in a derailment so you could ignore the possibility of hitting the people in the middle thereby reducing this example to two parallel but unconnected trolley problems

i choose to kill whoever calls them trolleys and not trams

I find it immensely infuriating that the article’s byline shows they are reporting from ‘London’ when in fact this happened not just in a different city, Edinburgh, but in a completely different country, Scotland.

Sad about the pandas, there are far too many people that simply can’t be trusted with fireworks. Limiting it to a single night in dedicated display venues run by licensed organisations wouldn’t remove the noise entirely, but it would reduce the frequency and would probably help all animals.

That 2012 one looks like I’ve focused it as a UI component. I need to get out and touch some grass.
