Can't put the laptop down because he's next to a pool to free up at least one hand.

The best I can advise for him is to chew up the cigar and chase it down with the espresso martini. Then throw the laptop into the sea like a discus and get into the pool to wait for the authorities to charge him with littering.

How much money would one presume 5 beers would that it would cover this many beers? Even if you're buying at a local convenience store or at your local alcohol store this would be around $50? Who walks up to a place, sees an order of what they assume is 5 beers for that price and thinks, "Yeah that's a fair price."

It doesn't always need to be useful. If the businesses are bought in, the students got the tools for free or were required to use them during their uni experience, and it's now listed as a requirement on job listings it's suddenly a need in society. That is already happening whether we like it or not.

This is how Microsoft has always done this adoption stuff. I'm surprised this is only coming out now. Probably has been happening to the larger institutions for much longer. They get the "next generation" hooked on free product that is part of the education system and then it's just part of what they do naturally.

I was in college when .Net was just being rolled out and we all got free licenses to Visual Studio. Also had licenses for Adobe products and pretty much any other major player. Just had to ask the right IT person how to get a disc and license key. They only worked for 4-5 years before going dormant, but some of us kept in touch with internal staff and got it for several years after that as well.

If you're in college, don't fall for the free taste. There's always a catch.

It's carsinisation but for cars. Everything evolves into a type of SUV. It makes sense since physics kind of dictates how aerodynamics works and engineers just have to work around that.

I'm looking forward to the day when we don't have rear-view mirrors and just use cameras. Kind of surprised we haven't just gone that direction already. Screens and camera tech has gotten good enough that we can do that pretty efficiently.

The issue I have with some of the more "modern" cars is getting rid of the door handles on the outside. These pop-out things are just a hazard for people in colder climates or places where dust and other ingress can cause problems opening the door. Although, it would be nice to have my kids walk up to the door and not jerk on the handle 2-3 times before I can get the keys out to unlock it.

Don't forget to include the Pope (garlic)

For those who don't know, on most Microwaves if you hold one of the numbers (mine is the 1 button) for about 5 seconds it will silence the beeping.

You're welcome.

Okay.... so this is a thing places do. Good to know. I thought the crazy farmer at the maize maze locally had lost his last kernel with just a box full of this stuff for the kids to basically swim in.

1. Asiago and Jalepeno
2. A Brick
3. Their Vine was too long to post
4. 12v and about 100W. Try a battery booster while turning the ignition.

I was wondering when they'd land down here, and I'm not sure Baton Rouge or New Orleans are good places to try these stunts. Perfect place to lose some of your guys or at least find out how many people have unregistered firearms. Oh, ya'll didn't check to see if these people are "Constitutional Carry" participants.... Seems like something you'd not want to try around these parts.

A minimum of 2 fully fluorinated carbon atoms instead of 1 is NOT broadening the definition. That’s narrowing it.

Think of the definition as a sluice gate. When you allow more things through, you're opening it wider, therefore broadening the definition. I know it's counter-intuitive sometimes to think of it like that. Narrowing the definition would be to let fewer things through, thus closing the gate.

Edit: Reading through the discourse below, I think I see the points made. It might should be reversed.

Looks like it might be a Youtuber named Tectone from what I can tell of the thumbnails. Pinning down the exact phrasing in the title is hard since Youtube lets you change that.
