I was looking for some eyebleach earlier and was disappointed to see how quiet all of the eyebleach communities are.

Most of my life is pretty busy. When I have a moment where I have nothing to do, I try to enjoy it instead of wishing it away.

Having the time to do nothing is underappreciated.

Read the book Sapiens.

Being able to believe in fiction is what allows humanity to function.

I'd never heard of the monkey banana ladder experiment before. At the end of the article it said that that experiment has never actually been done. When searching further, it seems like this is an often cited hypothetical experiment. I found mention of a similar study that actually happened that allegedly had different results but the details seem to be behind a paywall.

I've not seen the wire, but now I'm afraid if I do it will make me sad.

I realized the dangers involved. That is why I never became a police officer myself.

... actually the reason is because I was too old by the time I had the idea to try, but realistically I had talked myself out of it before I knew that.

I have had the thought before that the police problem could be improved if decent human beings joined the force and tried to change it from the inside out. I think it could make a difference but I don't think many people consider it because it feels like joining the wrong team.

Make sure you also test it while drunk or heavily drugged up.

I know my comment was low effort. I appreciate the supportive response anyway, even if it wasn't that well deserved.

Thank you.

Who?

I'd be doing this right now, but the rest of the family is sleeping.

This is true. Although, every once in a while I'll convince the wife unit to go out and we both usually end the night with a sense of regret and a feeling that we both would have preferred to have just stayed home.

For me Bill Cosby was not surprising. Danny Masterson was disappointing. I havent yet heard what Steven Tyler or Kevin Spacey did and now I'm afraid to Google it. I have no idea who Anthony Kiedis is.

...just looked them all up...sigh, yeah. I'm with you. It does make it impossible to appreciate the art with that knowledge.

This scene always bugged me. The water level in the bag should match the water level outside the bag.

Not relevant to the point at all, I just wanted mention it.

Yeah, the $36+ per kilo is a lot, but from a "vote with your dollar" perspective, I may stomach it in hopes that the price goes down, and the color options improve. I don't print as often as I used to, so that makes it easier.

Apparently wiki identifies it as a "pointing stick".

...also, I find it amusing that the article does use the term clitmouse.

I assume the tray is there because this isn't the first time this has happened.

My Jelly Star (tiny cellphone) had an ir blaster. I had a lot of fun with it until the screen on it stopped working. It still is a decent phone, and I would consider getting another except the warranty process was kinda crap.

I'm am pretty sure I've hauled more with my little hatchback than this person has with their truck.
