as a "computers person" i do not know how to solve the problem correctly the first time, what i do have is an endless list of strange tactical maneuvers that might solve a problem and an ability to prioritise them
Am I the only one who often puts the headphones on without any music just because they keep my ears warm?

Almost all blogs put “next page” URLs at /2, /3, … /n. These are *bad URLs*, since they’re constantly changing. Instead, do the following: choose how many posts you want per page (p), as usual. But make an exception for the main page, which waits to hit 2*p posts before dumping p posts to the next page all at once. Now your “next pages” won’t change, so they can have persistent URLs! So, number your URLs in *decreasing* order: /n, /n-1, … /1. As a bonus, “/1” conveniently has your first posts!

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than geopolitics.
Ok, Reddit 
You’ve just lost your push notifications privileges. Why the fuck would I ever care about this bullshit?! Stupid engagement optimizers.

Accidentally discovered a productivity trick: if you make Wednesday the last day of your vacation, everyone assumes you are still out as you were for the first three days of the week. And you get two undistracted, productive days.

Here you go, folks – the first image from last night's Mercury flyby by BepiColombo, ESA & JAXA's mission to our innermost planet.
The south pole is near the top of the image, right at the terminator between night & day, where there a some craters that never see sunlight & may even hold ice.
This is just a first teaser image – we'll be publishing some very exciting images from the closest part of the flyby later on today 🙂👍
Wouldn't it be cool if YouTube showed "the most skipped" segment in addition to "the most replayed"?
I wish a pointy stick was the only weapon of war humanity ever needed.
I am pretty sure that if we spent all the ingenuity on technology that eliminated the need to compete over scarce resources, we'd already be able to provide a roof, food and comfort to anyone wanting it. Instead we waste time inventing ways of taking from the neighbor. So disappointing.

Didn't think I'd say it, but man do I miss dumb the dump routers of early 2010. Like, this is what I see within 5 minutes of setting up a fancy-ass ASUS router. Am I really supposed to trust my network to that? 
Fucking bloat.
I'd like to think their business-oriented hardware would be better, but something tells me it's programmed by the same dudes.

Problems can be classified by difficulty into either be p, np, or npm.
If I mint some Hope NFTs and sell them, would I become hopelessly rich?
