for that matter, where are the potafingers

there are potatoes, but where are the panatoes?

noticed something interesting while taking the screenshot in the post this is a reply to (took a bit to figure out how to get a good picture of it zoomed in); CJK characters apparently don't have any sort of subpixelly stuff going on with them (probably because they're too intricate and that would make them harder to read?)

or just how to fix it would be enough

does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

our new laptop seems to have weird problems with windowing

seemingly at random, waterfox will get into a state where anything that changes the size of the window just causes the whole window to stop visually updating entirely; videos stop playing (though audio continues), can't scroll or switch tabs

only way to fix it is to close and reopen it

somehow I think there's something wrong with this drive

(it's halfway through being securely wiped, which involves overwriting the entire drive with random data multiple times. there's actually nothing wrong with the drive, it's just had its filesystem replaced with gibberish)

octagonal.

i'm just thinking about how this might have played out in game and just. thinking about a character who's a centaur but somehow never noticed

randomly remembered a story we read years ago on tumblr about a d&d game where one of the characters suddenly retroactively became a centaur because it was noticed they'd been wearing barding the whole time--and the player had just assumed that barding meant some kind of armor for bards

fun fact: a very common rocket fuel used by amateurs for model rockets is called "rocket candy" and is made in a process basically identical to making candy, and all of its ingredients (sugar and potassium nitrate) are technically edible

It is a *lot* of potassium nitrate though (about twice as much as there is sugar) so it probably wouldn't taste that great

airship? no, skyboat.

capacitors!

i found this while looking for pictures to make a bad joke about going out on a date, and this was one of the first results in the ddg image search

if there are straitjackets, are there also gayjackets?

if something is guaranteed to be an experience you'll never forget, you really can't ever make any claim on that guarantee because if you remember to claim it that means you didn't forget it
