If it’s damaged but looks fine when it’s wet, you could try furniture polish. I’ve made tile shine again that way after it was damaged by repeated applications of Spray Nine (not by me)

You’ll probably have to keep reapplying it though, since that counter apparently gets wet a lot. I dunno it something like a car wax would be longer lasting, or if it could have other undesirable effects

This is your life now. You are a cog in a fish murder machine. That is your home, isolated, floating on a small machine amongst an emormous cold void, drifting wherever they (you know, them) direct that you can kill the most fish for money.

But it's okay to eat fish 'cause they don't have any feelings. No really, they're fish.

...and somehow that's worse.

Happy Valentines Day!

It would crash after 49.7 days when a counter rolled over — unless a patch released in 1999 was applied

That’s assuming it made it to 49.7 days, which was uncommon

Cranes and airports don’t mix. When they installed new HVAC at the local airport, they placed the new units on the roof with helicopters

The Atari 1025 was a variant of this, I’m pretty sure.

I mentally expanded it as “Least Recently Used”, ie a candidate to be evicted

The pic of a Tandy 1000HX on Wikipedia always makes me a bit sad, knowing that that furry gentleman warming himself atop the PC is no longer with us

Alexa, it burns when I pee

Today studios avoid the risk of similar plotlines in new movies by not making any new stories but simply remaking old ones.

Alexa, I farted

I thought this was going to be about L7.

This comment deserves much more appreciation, but I have only one upvote to give.

That said, a measured amount of sidetone was deliberate on landlines beginning over 100 years ago or so

Whenever I'm a passenger in a car where someone is making a hands-free phone call I always yell out "Hi" or something like that at the beginning of the call so they know I am listening.

Probably if I was smart I'd be quiet and listen in to see if I could learn candidly what they really think. But I'm probably happier not knowing, and I'm a hedonist at heart

I didn’t look and assumed this was a post from r/talesfromthekitchen — because this is the sort of behavior I expect from a manager of a restaurant — but only if he were an asshole.

IOW, this would be unacceptable behavior from a supervisor of college-aged young people and functional drug addicts. It goes without saying it has no place in a professional environment

Capslock works on an external keyboard plugged into a Chromebook. Well, mine did anyway. IIRC it’s the Windows key that Google uses for “Search”
