• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safe to run a box fan face down?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside from premature failure, the actual answer to your question is: Yes. There are no inherent dangers to running a box fan face down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Grieve with me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory.

  The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

  Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty >dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard >gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that >he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

  But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still >be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred >dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet. – Men at Arms

  I just don’t like the fishtail. I’d like the fish part on top with legs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do office workers actually do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I work as Adminstrator and Developer for Medical Software in a Hospital.
  Most of my days are either spend preparing for future planned Software deployments, checking if they can meet our needs. Fomulating out the requirements and data imports and exports to various existing systems. On others like today I’m a bit more hands on and actually fix a bug in an application, laid out a plan for QA testing and eventual deployment of the new release and wrote some documentation so that should I vanish from the face of the earth, the stuff I do can be picked up by someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What went wrong with Skype?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This essentially. It was an easy voice and more importantly videocall software that was free. There were alternatives for text (ICQ, AIM) which were nice and everyone ahd them, and voice (Teamspeak, Mumble) which were either not free or you had to host them yourself and neither did Videocalls. So you begrugingly had a skype account too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I would do this for just 1.99⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s either my broken self or a symptom of the time that I cannot tell if this is a honest question. I hope it isn’t.

  Just in case: It’s not a real thing. Yet.
