Technotronic got their name by combining the word ‘techno’, meaning a sort of dance music, and ‘tronic’ meaning ‘tronic’.
The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse.
At 7.16pm on December 28th 1879, Dundee’s Tay Bridge collapsed as a train passed over it. 60 passengers lost their lives.
Other musical acts whose names begin with ‘T’ include The Cure, The Isley Brothers, and The Velvet Underground.

Pump Up the Jam is an anagram of ‘Jump Up the Pump’.
This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.
Techtronic’s home planet, Earth, consists of 70% water.
If you isolate the individual drumbeats from this song and arrange them in a circle, it unlocks a cheat mode that allows you to pass through solid surfaces at will.

Well … the box is just a remenant of the search web pages.
I think it does make sense to have a separate search box for web-only searches tough. Say you’re sitting next to a coworker and you’re talking about Anna Karenina and you want to look something up, but typing “an…” in the address bar will pull up “Anastasia likes it big and hard” from your bookmarks because you forgot to disable bookmark search

Lol. It does look great for carpal tunnel/RSI. I’d definitely buy it if it didn’t have such a 'murica gamer kiddo vibe.

…So if you use your hands to put pressure on the wound to stop the bleeding, you won’t get an ambulance?

- Chunks of teflon are getting in your food
- The aluminium underneath, which was protected by the teflon, is getting into your food (especially true with acidic foods, since they will react with aluminium and erode it).

“R.:” looks like an appreviated form of “Reply:”/“Response:” but since “History” isn’t abbreviated it just looks like a typo to me.
- Comment on Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission 1 year ago:
I switched to Linux when the “We’ve scheduled your free update to Windows 10!”-like popup started appearing again and again on my Win7 machine evrn though I disabled it. I didn’t like not having a choice and they only got worse from there. Meanwhile, you have full control over every part of a Linux system. You can even uninstall the update manager if you feel like it.

More like “My computer came with malware and I’m starting to realise that’s what it is” in most cases.
