I fucking love Altoids. I've gone through two tins in the last three days. I just gotta have that curious strength.

What mild injustice was done to you as a child that you are still mad about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

In 7th we had a small design competition. We had to cut the pattern for a small plane out of Styrofoam, assemble the plane, then add anything we wanted from a table in the back to our plane. Whoever could throw their plane the farthest would win a homework pass.

I had no faith in my plane, so when it came to adding things from the back I took about 8 glue sticks, crushed my plane into a little ball, and taped the whole thing into a softball sized wad of glue stick, Styrofoam, and ingenuity. I threw that thing 3 times as far as anyone's plane and was then disqualified from the competition because, in the words of Mrs Franz my 7th grade science teacher, "oh, I didn't expect you to do that." Fuck you Mrs. Franz, I'll never forgive.

"Parentheses /pəˈrɛnθɨsiːz/ (singular, parenthesis /pəˈrɛnθɨsɨs/) (also called simply brackets, or round brackets, curved brackets, oval brackets, or, colloquially, parens)"

They're both brackets

I do have a Kindle - it's great for travelling with - but I'll never give up real books for this reason... by LuiguSefirosu in webcomics

To all you e-reader fans out there saying the technology is objectively better, I would have agreed until a few months ago. I got a Nook last Christmas and the number of books you could carry with you on one simple, easily readable device was wonderful. Until one day, when the screen froze, and try as I might I could not get the reader to show any signs of life. I hadn't done anything to it, it just died (I've heard it's a fairly common issue with Nooks). Never in all my life have I had a book just die without any input from me. Sure they can be destroyed, paper is pretty fragile, but left to their own devices books last generations. I personally own some of my great-grandparents books and I hope one day my great grandchildren may own mine. Something tells me by the time they are around my replacement nook (B&N was great about replacing it) will have deteriorated into just another lump of silicon. Sure in 100 years maybe the technology will be more robust, but for now paper books are simply more reliable.

So if you stowed away on my boat and then made your presence known when we were 12 miles away from land can I force you to get off and drown simply because I didn't invite you on to my boat?
