The Sun Dreamstation was Sun Microsystems' brief and deeply confusing attempt to answer the question: What if a Sparcstation was also really good at Crazy Taxi?

I came across a functioning coder today asking if a kilogram was 1000 or 1024 grams.
Yes they did ask, yes they verified, yes they accepted 1000 grams.
I swear ten thousand years in the future some fucker will 'oops, black hole!' 'cos they began in comp sci and learned kilo = 1024 first and NOBODY WILL CATCH IT. Humanity will be WIPED OUT because YOU LOT KEPT THIS SHIT UP.

Ok query time. Biology is messy and full of exceptions. How does *your* body differ from the usual expected of you as the human you are? Anything big or small.
My mum has an extra vertebrae, a close friend multiple spleens. One sis is built like she works out but eats like a sparrow.
A co worker was born with just two vampire like teeth. A friend of mine at uni grew platinum white hair only on the back of his head. A MUSH friend from the 90s got *two* uteruses.

What's that one bit of advice you'll tell anyone at the slightest hint that it's warranted. The thing you learned, the thing you believe so strongly you can't shaddup about it, the thing you have such deep experience in that you truly know your experience is meaningful and helpful most of the time.

Studies have found the most logical and fastest keyboard layout is not between key orders like qwerty and dvorak, but one that prioritises the size of keys depending on the frequency of those letters in the language being typed, regardless of the ordering.
This Apple keyboard has an English layout. More frequently used letters in english are larger and slightly taller, less used letters are smaller and lower, which conveniently prevents tyops.,

Saw an Emu between towns. Just walking on the road side of paddock fences. Quietly stepping along all frickin big bastard theropod. It’s not often I’ll see them day to day or even month to month, but just sometimes…

Now go delete everything you haven’t backed up. Does that idea scare you? Then you need more backups.
