Is there some attractive force in the water I don't understand?
Anyone else just struggling with the urge?
Why is my life so strange.
@nprofile1q... Does it contain cationic surfactants?
The idea that person who writes the description gets to "pick" the name is one of the few remaining incentives to keep people doing this work. If the names are confusing or mysterious they won't be us...
@nprofile1q... > I could imagine a different process for scientific names, one with open public forums
That way lies Anty McAntface (or maybe Auntie).

To be fair to her I was also into theatre and loved helping with set design and know a smattering of chaotic carpentry. But IDK if I could just post up and make a table.
@nprofile1q... I'm confident I could make a crude table should the need arise. It probably wouldn't be very pretty though.
The less tactile computers become the more tactile the espresso machines will be.
Does this make the coffee taste better?
I don't even like coffee but I want to use all of these gadgets.

@nprofile1q... Can someone explain what "hardcore stepless variable voltage" means, especially in the context of that picture?
Half-asleep, I suddenly had the idea of applying the Navier–Stokes equations to data flow.

@nprofile1q... At least with this one, I understand the joke. Half of them are plain incomprehensible. And a few are hilarious.
That PC whose fan dropped off the other week has been bodged into working. I used a couple of plastic strips and motherboard mounts to hold them to the board with screws in the right place for the h...
@nprofile1q... Do they not make compatible fan mounts any more? What socket is this? If I have something useful among my spares, you're welcome to it.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... At a previous job, a set of online "training" videos and subsequent quiz was mandated. A colleague automated it with a script that somehow scraped the correct answers from the site. Management found out and were not amused. Everybody else was, though.
4 out of 5 of the surviving Lupin #plants have flowered; one of them with multiple flower stalks. When I try this again I'll just make sure to plant the seeds in deep pots initially so their roots a...
@nprofile1q... Is this the same lupin that is considered an invasive species and is nearly impossible to get rid of in some places?
