It may not be a law, but when NVidia has numerous contracts with the federal government, and the feds ask NVidia to do them a favor…Well, NVidia does it. That assumes they didn’t secretly order NVidia to do so via some obscure provision in a national security law.

You mean…your knee?

When talking about where you live, you don’t “stay at”, you live at a place.

Perhaps a social critique of our post-capitalist hellscape? We no longer “live” anywhere. We just stay places.

It’s a knight light. It keeps the monsters away.

Want to really make a power move in life? Go through your grocery store clockwise, like a psychopath. Just to show you won’t let the system control you!

Simple. They should only be legal to own if they’re fixed.

I want the most anti-British option. I know! We’re going to do away with clocks entirely. We wake up when we wake up. We work when we work. We forget counting the days. Forget the calendar entirely. Live forever in an eternal now.

No. Let’s go for the craziest option. Continuous time zones! Your clock changes a bit every mile east or west you go.

You are vastly underestimating the social awkwardness that comes with telling someone they smell. Maybe you have a very different relationship than most do with their friends, but it would take quite a lot before I would bring that kind of thing up. In a professional setting, I would want to get HR involved before pointing that out to someone. I would let them figure out a polite way of asking the coworker to fix their B.O.

Everyone needs a bidet. Literally clean yo stinky ass up!

In our nightmare world where fame is money, being deprecated IS being depreciated!

We should organize libraries not by name, or even the Dewey decimal system, but simply by title length. Fiction, non fiction, jounrla articles, doesn’t matter. It’s all just in one stupid long list, shortest title to longest title.

Depending on the design of its memory, a device with a full drive will literally weigh slightly more or slightly less than one with an empty drive. Charging the battery in all cases causes it to weigh more.

I can confirm. I was there standing in the corner watching. But in a strictly nonsexual way.

When I woke up blind from surgery. Years ago I had FFS. Mine involved significant reshaping of the brow bone among other things. And like any surgery, beforehand the surgeon makes sure you’re aware of the potential risks and complications. The rate of complications is low, but the risk isn’t zero. If you’re doing substantial work on your face, that can result in nerve damage, loss of feeling, loss of facial motor control, etc. The vast majority of people turn out just fine, but the risks are not zero and are always on your mind. Oh, and I did this in Buenos Aires cause I was a broke-ass 24 year-old not so long out of college. So add that to the fear of potential complications. I wasn’t just getting major surgery. I was getting discount major surgery.

So I go in for surgery. Put the gown on, lay on the hospital cart, the whole nine yards. They give me the gas and I quickly go off to nowhere. Several hours later, I slowly regained consciousness, the surgery complete. And to my horror, I saw…nothing. Absolute darkness. Nothing at all. Pitch blackness. I command my eyes to open, but still nothing. Absolute inky blackness. I’m still hopped up on pain killers, but I’m quickly jolted to heightened awareness. I was aware of the risk of potential loss of feeling, but this? Blinded? Complete blindness in both eyes? I was in complete panic. Absolute terror.

Thankfully however this state did not last too long. A nurse realized what was wrong and helped me out. My eyes or ocular nerves hadn’t somehow been damaged. My eyes were swollen shut. They were able to rinse out my eyes and help me to open them a bit, and it was clear that I would see just fine.

Ultimately, I didn’t have any nerve damage and made a complete recovery. But that moment remains one of the most terrifying I have ever experienced. Alone in foreign country, thousands of miles from home, and I woke blind.

Harrowing. But as someone unfamiliar with anything involving with anything naval, why the Hell did they have you do that? In conditions like that, why wouldn’t you just cruise submerged and avoid the waves entirely? And why do they have people up there “on watch?” I can’t imagine you can actually watch for that many things in such insane conditions. To my ear, it seems like they risked three lives and caused countless thousands of dollars to naval equipment for no damn good reason.

Read the fucking post for fucks sake. It’s right fucking there.

The sign says the bins were removed. The post headline says the bins were removed from the cafe area. This is a cafe at a visitor center at a forest.

Before you go insulting the reading comprehension of others, try working on your own.

I think that’s the problem. I interpret it as the cafe removed their bins.
