Does anyone have any spare bootstraps?
This can't be real; spelling and punctuation is too good.

I didn't need to login this badly anyway
Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

Why do people hate raisins? They're chewy little sugar bombs. What's not to like?

my precious!
I once had a deduction from my deposit for a paintbrush and can of paint left on top of a kitchen cabinet; it had been left by their team when I moved in.

What rule was created because of you or someone you know?
Beyond innumerable rules at home (no sneaking out of windows, no making potions out of toiletries, no growing mold in the bathroom, no snakes in the house, etc.) once as a kid I had $5 of birthday money burning a hole in my pocket, so at lunch I asked for as many $0.25 cinnamon rolls as I could get with a $5 bill. Although the cafeteria workers tried to talk me out of it, I spent the rest of the day parading around with a huge sack of cinnamon rolls which I didn't share with my classmates, as I was determined to bring my catch home to impress / share with my family. The same day, an announcement was made over the intercom to the entire school announcing a new two-per-person limit for cinnamon rolls. Details may be off as this was years ago, but that's what I remember!

Native English speakers are the world’s worst communicators
TLDR: native speakers use idioms, abbreviations, and their broader vocabulary in conversation.
Learning these things is a part of learning a language, and this article also applies to native speakers of any language.

In much the same way that sneezing can be ascribed to a cold, it depends on frequency and severity.

In all likelihood, it's rated for direct food contact on both sides, like the stickers on fresh fruit; you're meant to be able to safely eat them (although you may not want to).

How happy are you with your current distro?
I'm very content. Stopped distro-hopping a few years ago and settled on EndeavourOS.

Sure, but how many books can you kill at one time?
What is a vehicle like that even for?

This. How an advanced use case is accomplished is not a point against a system's usability.

Insomnia
Reply in thread
Yea, sleep studies suck. You're in stuffy room tethered to a machine by a million wires everywhere from your knees up and covered in smelly glue and sticky pads. After a night of that, if you're lucky, you'll get to stay for the entire next day and try to force yourself to take naps every couple of hours.

I remember when anything from a chippy came wrapped in newspaper. I don't know why, but I really appreciated that as a kid.

YSK: you can stop Microsoft users from sending 'reactions' to your email by adding a "x-ms-reactions: disallow" header
I got a thumbs-up reply to an email once and immediately looked up how to block it.

An open source repairable printer.
Reply in thread
This. Based on my (elementary) understanding of laser printers, you have to have a laser zap a transfer belt to charge it so that it will elecromagnetically attract the toner, then precisely lay down a fine layer of toner onto the belt, then lay the microplastics + iron filings from the belt onto the page, repeat this four times, then roll the page through a tiny oven to bake on the thin, shiny layer of plastic. It's very complicated, and have you seen the price of new fuser units or transfer belts?

To everyone who hates the concepts of landlords and rent, what counts as being a landlord?
Reply in thread
I have never had a single landlord where this isn't the case, except in instances where they are too cheap to even hire professionals to do things that they don't have the skill to do, and they get their dipshit son to "fix" the sink that fell clean out of the kitchen counter with a lumpy bead of clear silicone and a 1' piece of 2x4 wedged underneath.
