I had a Batman action figure with a bright prison orange suit. The least stealthy suit possible. But I was 8 and thought it looked cool and begged my mom for it.

He worked in IT. Pagers would beep when different systems ran into problems.

My dad at one point needed to wear three pagers on his belt at all times.

I've seen blue sunset pictures from Mars before, but I suspect someone pumped up the saturation on this picture.

 

Like, if you accidentally cut someone off, and they get mad and honk, how do you apologize?

If this is a prequel like IT: Welcome to Derry, a major subplot will have the US military trying to recruit Leatherface to use as a super weapon against the soviets.

I've never had a therapist provide a chaise lounge. Is that not a thing anymore?

It was the scariest shit I ever saw at age 5. Watched it several times as a kid. I would hide under the pillows during the clown scene. The AC blowing up at the beginning also freaked me out.

I actually like the ribbon UI compared to what came before. Jensen Harris from the office design team way back in 2008 gave this talk about how they invented the ribbon:

I know that workflow style is good for like dissertations and academic journal articles, but the sort of templates I have to design and work in are more splashy and dramatic. The look and structure is more akin to what you see in artsy magazines and books—pages with dark background colors, decorative stock images, vector shapes, etc. Can Latex be used for that?

 
 
 

I know people out there who have invested a lot in gold under the belief that in the event of like complete societal collapse or hyperinflation, they could use it for purchasing.

I have the hunch it's a scam, but I haven't learned enough monetary theory, business, or economics to understand why.

 

To be clear, I'm not advocating for online age verification. I'm very much against it in any form. I'm just curious from a technical standpoint if it's possible somehow to construct an accurate age verification system that doesn't compromise a user's privacy? i.e., it doesn't expose the person's identity to anyone nor leaves behind a paper trail that can be traced to that person?
