  • Speaking to those in the U.S., Your local library has a huge collection of DVDs. Your local thrift shop and eBay have blu ray players (most of which will upscale DVDs during playback) for cheap.

  • What piece(s) of pop media have you not consumed that people would think you weird for not having consumed yet?

    Jump

  • Star wars and Lord of the Rings

    I've seen enough clips and overviews and "facts about" clips to understand that I am not interested enough to invest the time it would take to watch either series. The story of the production of Star Wars is very interesting, the actual story the movies tell, not so much.

  • The Crazy Nokia Designs That Never Saw the Light of Day [Wired]

  • That one seems like it would be easy to remake with current day components. Keep the display the same to extend battery life, give it smarter internals and slimmer design. That could be the work phone, the texting phone, the going hiking phone, the daily driver that has several days of battery life.

    But the more I think about it, a Bluetooth keyboard paired with a normal smartphone would not need its own phone plan and would provide the physical buttons for typing. It just won't be as cool as that thing.

  • What's the best loophole you've ever found or learned about?

    Jump

  • But a service worker knows lots of loopholes, and they can help you take advantage of them or choose not to bring it up if you're treating them badly.

  • If you had to teach a subject in school, what would it be and why?

    Jump

  • English, because word history is fun, communication is important, and teaching kids that language is constantly evolving would be fun.

  • Thank you for reminding me of Thinkpads. I'd like to track down a used or refurbished one for home use to survive kiddos

  • Oh wow, the wrinkles would drive me nuts.

    Also, why extend it vertically?

  • Are there any humidifiers that can handle strait, unfiltered tap water without leaking everywhere?

    Jump

  • This is very interesting. Does it clog up with hard water?

  • Looking at the prices on those filters, wow! That's like an extra subscription each winter to fix dry air. Getting one big enough to get the whole house at once seems good, but 55 to 80 dollars a month is a lot!

  • Are there any humidifiers that can handle strait, unfiltered tap water without leaking everywhere?

    Jump

  • We did think of this, apparently too late. I'm gathering from other comments that I am dealing with hard water, and the seals on my humidifiers had already crusted over when we got the Brita filter, so it did not fix the issue

  • I wish I had a heating stove or fireplace for this purpose, but alas, it's a gas furnace connected to a central air system

  • Could you link me to one of these bucket or bowl type of humidifiers?

  • It was a cool mist type, so no wick or heating element. It was dirt getting into the valve that allows water to flow down from the main reservoir to the tray where the ultrasonic magic happens. Kept propping that valve open to let a constant drip of water through

    edit, seems like hard water ruined the seal rather than grit messing things up

    In your opinion, what's the ideal work schedule (workweek)?

    Jump

  • 4x8hours. If the place needs people on site 24/7, weekend warriors should do 3x8 hour days for the same weekly pay.

  • To be more physically fit rather than becoming a Fitter, try landscaping, concrete work (if you're brave enough to wear a mask for the dust and get called sissy all day long), or farm work if you're interested in a wide variety of physically demanding tasks that are also dangerous.

    Edit to the description of farm work

  • would you buy a compact laptop that has spacebar touch sensitivity and allows you to adjust input sensitivity, giving it dual purpose (a spacebar and a mouse)+ it has integrated A5 printer in it?

    Jump

  • No.

    But I would immediately buy a new laptop with a track ball and mouse buttons like this one

    I've only seen one irl, and they are incredibly intuitive to use, and you don't accidentally move the mouse while typing

  • Is it better to place the food in the center of or on the edge of a microwave turntable?

    Jump

  • I've seen the best results when I stack or pile food around in a doughnut shape, and center the hole of the donut shape on the turntable.

  • What trait is a weakness in one profession, but directly translates to a strength in a different profession?

  • This is interesting, how does stereo blindness help with photography?

  • That one is thought provoking. The jobs seem so similar at a glance, but they need very different people to do each of the jobs well.
