The city of Zeal in Chrono Trigger. Such a beautiful world if they could just ditch the magical racism

The demon door in TLC by the pond in the Heroes Guild. I think this might have actually kickstarted my fascination with environment modelling...

Shockingly familiar to early days Reddit. There was a sweet spot before Reddit got as big as it is today. I can't tell you when it was but it was there somewhere.

I believe they have recovered honey from Egyptian tombs that was thousands of years old and still edible. From recollection the syrup is too viscous for bacteria to colonise.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If your site doesn't work on Firefox your site doesn't work. As web developers your job is to develop applications for the web not for one specific browser. This goes double for essential services.

The fact that shrink-wrapped agreements aren't automatically void worldwide is a fucking abomination. No you shouldn't get to push a legally binding contract on me after I paid for the product. It's my property now and if you want to require a license agreement after the sale then I should be able to decline it for a full refund fuck you.

The S5 was IP67 with a removable battery and an SD slot (so don't listen when people say they removed batteries for the waterproofing).

The S6 had no waterproofing, no removable battery and no SD slot.

The S7 brought back the SD slot and had IP68 water resistance but they never returned the removable battery.

A word, number or string that can be read the same backwards and forwards. Like 2112, 11/11/11, "A Toyotas a Toyota", "Was it a cat I saw?".

Furthermore, if the manufacturer wants to pretend that they're selling you a perpetual license to use the hardware or whatever legal bullshit they came up with on the back of a cocktail napkin between lines of coke then they can't advertise using the words buy, own or anything similar without explicitly indicating in the largest font that you aren't the owner of the product.
