No accessibility options in the captcha? I guess they don’t care about people with vision disability.

- Comment on 98 degrees upstairs, ac stopped working at 8am. 3 weeks ago:
No, the human perception of temperature thing is a myth. Originally 0F is the freezing temperature of a brine solution, and 90F was Fahrenheit’s estimation on the average human body temperature, and then the scale was adjusted so that it fit in better with Celsius reference points (freezing/boiling points of water).

There’s another series with similar protagonists dynamics, Total Recall 2070. Unfortunately both series met the same fate (premature cancelation).

So I just eat black coffee and move on.
Great, now I have this mental image of you waking up late, going “NO TIME TO WAIT FOR THE KETTLE!” and just eating spoonfuls of instant coffee straight from the jar before running out of the house.

I don’t know how far season 1 of the Netflix series goes, but the comic has two volumes. Well there’s a third fan-made volume, but we don’t talk about that one.

- Comment on Neutronium would like a word. 2 months ago:
Such devices exist, namely stars. Neutron stars are theorized to have neutronium at their core, essentially a soup of neutrons so densely packed that nothing else fits between them - in order words, the densest theoretical material (osmium is the densest material found on Earth).

- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 2 months ago:
I’ve always experienced the opposite - native English speakers are horrible at spelling because they don’t have to put any effort into comprehending the language, vs non-native speakers who frequently have to take ESL tests for either academia, work, or immigration, and therefore had more exposure to spelling practice.

- Comment on Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all? 3 months ago:
Most scroll wheels use an optical sensor inside the housing to monitor the motion of the wheel. If you got paint inside the housing then it can confuse the sensor.
Question: did you take off the top of the mouse to paint it, or at least tape off any areas that needed to be protected like the scroll wheel and the bottom sensor?
