Thanks. I will definitely do that, but my hair is crazy. I have to shave like once every 3 months.

I don't want to think about what might be worse. We're talking about my teenage daughter here. If it was just gross stuff coming off of me and my wife's body...

Oh probably, but it's the pubes I think about.

I don't like thinking about the fact that I'm having to clean up my kid's pubes.

I mean if you think about it- there's also pubes there.

I know I'm in a tiny minority, but I wish I had gone bald. I hate getting haircuts and I just shave it all off when it gets unmanageable.

As a father of a girl who inherited my both curly and wavy hair that refuses to ever get a haircut, a hair trap in the shower is a godsend.

And cleaning it out is gross.

I've been typing pretty much every day since I was 6 and got my brother's old Apple ][+. I'm 47 now and still no carpal tunnel.

150 wpm? Damn, I am in awe!

Wasn't the whole idea to minimize the amount of times your typewriter seized up? Happened often enough with QWERTY keyboards when it came to the cheap typewriters. Yes, I'm old.

I can't use a split keyboard because of the way I've taught myself to touch-type. My fingers move around too much. On the other hand, I type around ~90 wpm (mostly using two fingers) so I win something or other.

I'm of the firm opinion that the best keyboard layout and type is the one you feel most comfortable with.

But then I'm also of that opinion when it comes to things like desktop OSes, phone brands, etc.

It's not a popular opinion.

The cool thing about Doggerland (to me) is we know it was inhabited by humans.

 

I've gone 47 years without knowing that.

 

I get a song stuck in my head and end up having to look up everyone who ever covered it. This one is one of the weirdest I've encountered.

 

I'm still not sure why there is vegetarian Spam, but...

 

The game is Word Cookies by Bitmango. I contacted them but haven’t heard back. I’m guessing it was just an oversight, but it still pissed me off.

 

Picture of Difford and Tilbrook playing Hourglass since I didn’t take a picture of the guy who paid an admission fee to sit in a loud room and do crosswords on his phone.

 

No, I don't want to buy one. This came out of a discussion about my brother, who is so much weirder than me if you can believe it, who owns a real human skull.

I don't know how he got it. I don't know where he got it from, maybe this company, more importantly, I don't know why he would want such a thing. He is not a scientist, he works in IT. He did get an MFA in theater, wanted to be a professional theater director and loves Shakespeare, I can't believe the reason was because he wanted Hamlet to be super authentic.

We're not all that close, so it really hasn't come up in conversation. I only know about it because he posted elsewhere a while back that he was on a Zoom meeting at work and he showed it off and couldn't understand why everyone stopped laughing and got silent. So obviously he thinks it's cool to own it.

It used to be a person. I'm an atheist and I don't believe in an afterlife, but that's just basic disrespect.

Anyway... how can you ethically source a skull and then sell it on the open market?
