Exactly! I mean, why wouldn't you think that doing that would delete everything on the disk instead of just ejecting it?

I woke up one night to my cat batting me in the face over and over again, something he never did. I was sleeping on the couch in the living room and when I put my feet down on the carpet they went squish. My cat liked to sleep in the bathroom sink, and on this night he managed to simultaneously push the drain closed and flip up the faucet lever. The sink had no overflow drain (I have no idea why not) so it just started flooding the whole house. I don't know how long this went on, but most of the first floor carpet was soaked and a bunch of water had gone into the basement through the floorboards and vents.

I was really impressed that Mr. Needy knew something was wrong and that he needed to wake me the fuck up to deal with it.

I would love to chain up some Apple UX/UI designers and force them to watch my 90 yo mother try to use her fucking iPhone.

My favorite fucked-up thing from the past was the Macintosh circa 1990. The disk drive on this thing had no eject button -- to eject a disk, you just did the oh-so-fucking-intuitive thing of dragging the disk icon over the trash can icon. But they did very conveniently place the big knobby power button for the whole computer (which looked exactly like an eject button) right above the disk drive. I spent a year constantly powering off the computer every time I wanted to just eject the disk.

If I had to work for Zuck I'd be fucking thrilled to be on the buddy yacht instead of the main ship.

My brother had his kids at 41 and 43. He loves it except for the fact that everyone assumes he's their grandfather.

Whether that sucks or not kinda depends on the cereal.

I'm nearing 60 and I feel like I must be about 110. Not physically, because I'm in great shape, bike 25-50 miles a day, work out, keep myself thin. But I've done so many different things in my life, different careers, lived lots of different places, that it feels like I've lived many lifetimes already. And since I grew up in the era of three TV channels, I think I'm already living in science fiction. People talk about their lives going by in a flash, but I kind of think that's a consequence of just doing the same things day after day.

I'm mainly thankful that I don't have any kids to worry about and that it's possible I'll be dead before the climate shit really hits the fan. Being killed by robots is looking very realistic, unfortunately.

He spent a fortune in reddit psychophants, cartoon spotlights, TV exposure, and other media to get people the progressives to like him.

Has Dave Chappelle ever said how much Elon paid him to appear onstage with him?

"This is my son, Kevlar."

Name one historian named "Victor".
