To be fair, the early ones were pretty crappy compared to what they have now. At the start, you really couldn’t use it for real work. The convenience came at a huge cost. These days all but the most extreme tasks can be done with cordless.

It wouldn't be hard to just remove the handle from a hardware store saw and replace it with this. Might have to drill out the rivets, but that's not too difficult usually.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is peak Star Trek. Fight me.

Guinster? Gunster? Moness?

Send like most of the valid criticism is based around the fact that the company also is in the business of user data mining. Which is enough for me to never use them.

Though they also very aggressively advertise, which is also a big red flag.

Sharing co-owners with Tesonet and receiving funding from the same company that owns a data-mining service isn’t ideal. But there is no evidence, and never has been, that anything is being shared between NordVPN and Oxylabs. Besides, NordVPN states that it follows a strict no-logs policy, which means it doesn’t record, store, or share user activity. And this is backed up by the usage of RAM-only servers and multiple independent audits—most recently the service passed a third-party no-logs audit in late 2025 by security firm Deloitte.

I would say one linear timeline you have more Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Kind of like what they were describing in the first place (from Bill and Ted's perspective, we're not going to talk about the historical figures perspective...)

Just 3d print a mould and use it twice before you forget it exists.

Really old laser pointers used AAAA batteries.

There are food safety standards for a reason. Coffee isn’t supposed to be served at that high of a temperature. McDonald’s intentionally broke the standard by serving coffee hotter than they were legally allowed to. You prefer living in a place that McDonald’s can internationally, and repeatedly violate safety standards with no recourse? That’s a weird flex.

No, most things slide under a shingle so the water never touches the fasteners. Some things screw right through with sealant on top, but that’s not the best way to do it, cause sealant will break down over time.

Solar panel mounts would also work. There’s plenty of things designed to mount to the roof while still maintaining water proofing.

The Thing takes place at the south pole.
