I have never understood that label. Did they buy a billion labels that were too big and are refusing to waste them??

In my opinion itโ€™s time to retire the Nobel prizes for fields where most of the important discoveries have already been made, like physics, and add prizes for newer fields where substantial innovations occur every year, like speedrunning

A curse of 600 or more diarrheas on sites/services that on iPhone demand installing a special app & registering an account but on desktop simply open in a browser as a guest. Not mentioning any names like Trello, TikTok or Temu. And I mean 600 concurrently, not sequentially.

Quake is basically a cat simulator:

- Only possible interactions are attacking and rubbing against things

- Can jump ridiculous distances

- Canโ€™t understand anyone

- Compelled to kill everything that moves, for fun

A cartoonish magnet tied to a piece of yarn. A bolt is held by the magnet. In the background, the open hood of a minivan, provides context and a backdrop.

Dropped a bolt into my car engine and retrieved it with the most Looney Tunes contraption possible
