This actually tastes pretty decent - not like turkey, but like Stove-top stuffing

Lady making a raclette sandwich - the black boxes are heaters that warm the cheese, then they scrape off a warmed later of cheese into the sandwich with ham and pickles.

And also things like boardroom. The board was a table where council is held. Then board became a reference to the members of that council. Hence board meeting, board member, board of directors and very tellingly - chairman of the board.

The "board" in board games is the table. They are games played on a table.

This is also where "room and board" comes from, you get a room and a seat at the table (for food).

And also "above board". A deal that is above board was made above the table, rather than a sneaky deal below the table.

A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

It's a block-breaker (like Breakout or Arkanoid), but as a dungeon-crawl.

You collect rubies and buy power-ups, fight enemies and bosses, choose which direction to exit rooms in, and get keys to unlock new rooms.

Small World - of Warcraft.

Some interesting changes that increase considerations for positioning and holding locations. Good for experienced Small World players, but adds some hurdles for new players.

There is no appeasing fascists. "I'm going to let you put the boot on my throat, but just a little and just this once, ok?" is not negotiation.

How to Opt-Out of Airlines Selling Your Travel Data to the Government The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), owned by major U.S. airlines, collects billions of ticketing records and sells them to the government to be searched without a warrant. I managed to opt-out…

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flightβ€”your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government.

We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide:
