It's important to learn to communicate
  • I was hitchhiking in Turkey with my now wife many years ago and we got picked up by a bunch of truckers. They passed our destination and kept going, pretending they don't understand what we're saying when we kept calling "stop." Only when I pulled out my phone did they stop. Luckily they didn't notice my phone was dead.

  • Shocking News: Reddit has trademarks for forum names like "Explain Like I'm Five" registered on USPTO.
    • RPAN (actual subreddit name is R/PAN but they messed up the word mark for the registration I think.)

    They didn't mess up, it was called RPAN from the start. And that's something Reddit launched, so it makes sense they'd trademark it.

  • Remember when it was a big deal if you chose .zip, .rar, or 7z, etc? Now we all have so much bandwidth it doesn't matter.
  • That's because you're not getting them from the original source. Scene releases come in multi-volume zipped rars. I don't know why they need to be double archived, but they are. But lots of people will take those, unarchive, then re-upload or put them up in a torrent.

  • A cool guide on the density of different liquids
  • Our version only had 5 layers:

    • honey
    • milk
    • dish soap
    • water
    • vegetable oil

    The jar stayed out for a week before we finally cleaned it up and in that time only the dish soap and water mixed (which happened within the first hour)

  • Reference rule
  • It's not. If you're really into pop culture and you frequently make such references then someone who is not will have a hard time communicating with you.

    It's not about internet culture being bad, it's about the communication gap between people with very different cultural references.

    How would I go about removing this sink and vanity?

    How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

    And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?
