Today I learned about people called "buffers," who hate seeing paint on walls where no one has given permission for it to be there, so they carry a bunch of paint in their car, so they can liberally apply it to the same wall without permission, but for good instead of evil.

I just saw a guy with a hoodie that said "close that back door." He was on a bike. And the back of his sweat pants were riding down, exposing a giant plumber crack, with no underwear to be seen.

"a de-orbit burn might not be possible in the event of multiple thruster failures. To handle this admittedly very unlikely failure scenario, a new de-orbit procedure has been developed."

"Yes, almost half of Opera's revenue came from extracting money from people in developing countries with false advertising and direct harassment."

My earliest memory of Superman was assuming that the cape must enable his ability to fly, because otherwise why the heck would he wear such a stupid looking thing.

"Shoving AI into everything" has been reminding me of something that I just couldn't put my finger on, but I think I just figured it out.

It's like if Gretchen Weiners actually succeeded in making "fetch" happen.
