The silencing of dangerous misinformation is more dangerous than the misinformation

There are people in your office who think your keyboard is your inbox.

Make them stop.

Laptop computers use radiant cooling, even if they have a fan. Papers on the keyboard make it overheat. This leads to thermal throttling, shutdowns, crashes, and shorter service life.

@AlpacaLaser4ce @Beno10_MFC I was looking for this reply

@CollinJHumphrey I don't know about tools, but lumber for sure

@Oilfield_Rando The tension applied by the split washer is a tiny fraction of that applied by torquing.

[Jonathan Johnson @LaughingBrook]

@Oilfield_Rando Split lock washers don't actually live up to their promises. It's the torquing of the nut/bolt that creates tension in the shaft to resist loosening, and a split washer is no different from a flat washer when compressed.

@muheediva01 If landlords are subject to rent control, then they should also get property tax freezes.

@FiredUpCoug Bread machine.

They bake terrible bread, but you can use them just for the hardest part: mixing, kneading, initial rising. Then pull out the dough ball, put it in a pan, rise it one more time and bake in the oven.

We're on our third bread machine.

@HansFiene Far too many people view having children as a lifestyle choice, and in nearly all cases, abortion values lifestyle over life.

@prieurdp The problem is most people cannot visualize the position and motion of the back end of their car relative to everything around it.

@Lthierry_______ @Bornakang Divided by 4 (because it's enough to make 4 and have leftovers) it's only $6.16

[Jonathan Johnson @LaughingBrook]

@Bornakang Misunderstood. The one on the right is per burger for 8 burgers.

@davepl1968 Or stop double spacing after a period, which is only necessary in monospace fonts on typewriters.

[Jonathan Johnson @LaughingBrook]

@davepl1968 I remember a bug in HP laser printers. If your Word doc had fully justified Times New Roman text, the driver substituted the Times onboard font, AND you double spaced after a period, the kerning in that line would be messed up when printed.

Solution: disable font substitution.

@ChrisMartzWX All business taxes are actually sales taxes; the government just does it this way to hide how much they're taking from you.

[Jonathan Johnson @LaughingBrook]

@ChrisMartzWX Businesses should never directly pay tax. They do not represent a burden on infrastructure.

It is the customers of that businesses, goods and services that create the burden.

Besides, businesses just pass the tax on to the consumer.

@rushicrypto Violation as a Service

@JeffOstler1 @FiredUpCoug The reason it sucks is because it shares the rail lines with freight.

Dedicated passenger rail built to the same density as Europe would serve far fewer people per rail mile making it far more expensive per potential passenger.

@rampulla_andrew “I’ll give you a refund if you send me a death certificate showing that you died before the scheduled install.”

[Jonathan Johnson @LaughingBrook]

I miss the days when you'd order something, you'd get an email when it's on the truck, and you could watch it cross the country.

Now, Amazon sits on the order for 5 days and you don't know where it is until it's on your porch.

And “shipped” only means they printed a label.

@Rainmaker1973 I don't see a turn signal. Yup, it's a BMW.
