Years ago, a pedophile posted photos online with his face swirled, but police were able to unswirl it:

I have no idea who the guy in this photo is.

I did this, and it was great at first. Then I needed more socks, so I bought another batch. Then I had a mix of worn socks and brand new socks. They might look the same at first, but if you take a closer look, the older ones are a little lighter in color and the texture isn’t the same. I later bought a third batch. So now I have a mix of new, old, and really old socks. It actually takes more effort to match socks now than when I had many different socks.

I see this advice posted all the time, so I guess most people don’t care if their socks on each foot are a different level of worn, but it bothers me.

You time traveled to the Middle Ages to avoid cars? That’s dedication!

Reminds me of a sculpture called “Karma”:

Why mess with cash and money laundering? Just create a large chunk of gold.

I’m pretty sure the serving PC needs to be Windows Professional, not Windows Home, so that might not work.

Can you give an example of one? Last time I looked it seemed like all the major brands only had smart TV options. So I end up using streaming dongles on smart TVs to avoid the lag, but I would much rather just have dumb TVs.

I heard projectors don’t have any smart garbage. I might try that next time I need a new large TV.

You can just use Sky Map and search for Sagittarius.

What you actually want to search for is Sagittarius A*, but Sky Map doesn’t have that, so the Sagittarius constellation is close enough to give you the general direction.

Yes. With WiFi cameras you don’t need to run any cable, just plug in to the nearest power outlet. That’s very appealing to people.

Why do you call “!” a hashbang?

“#” is a hash

“!” is a bang

“#!” is a hashbang

It’s funny to use a Simpsons meme for this because in one episode, Homer finds Henry Kissinger’s glasses in the power plant toilet.

Yes, it’s profitable. They lose money on each sale, but make up for it in volume.

I got a decent motion-activated trail cam for around $50. It has no connectivity, so I need to occasionally transfer videos from the SD card. Works great.

Lol, that reminds me of Seinfeld’s taking vs. holding reservations joke:

You mean like electrolysis? That’s already in use, and has been in use for a very long time.

If you meant something new that doesn’t require a bunch of energy input, then yeah, that would great.

The show Top Gear did a bunch of these. For example:

My guess is it’s either from that show or something similar.

For those who don’t know, this is from senator Ted Stevens explaining how the internet works. Here is the audio:

I read that in Alex Trebek’s voice.

Why is increasing salinity of the ocean bad? Doesn’t that happen all the time on a much greater scale as ocean water evaporates into the atmosphere?
