Is there a printer in the room? Print off a photo of one of your least favorite coworkers, use it as a paper mask, leave.

"Dogs and cats sleeping together!"

Like the last 9 out of 10, honestly. Way too many comment snipers. It's exhausting. You're wise to not bother with it.

A suit of armor that looks very different when you put it on depending on your gender.

No, they could stack the bodies of executives high enough to build a retaining wall, and the current system will still refuse to learn any fucking lessons. Our country has an extreme addiction to profits over people.

The solution is single-payer not-for-profit nationalized health care. The stuff that mature, rational nations do as a matter of daily routine.

Socialism is not a dirty word. We need to learn that lesson, first.

Unfortunately, the new administration will make things much worse. And the incompetent reality show cast of an administration will blame Biden and the "deep state" for all the misery and suffering they cause. And the morons in the Cult of 47 will believe them.

The USA is more broken than a folk hero with a gun can fix. Though, at least he has us all talking about it.

I loved Voyager and don't understand the hate. I'm more of a Star Wars fan, however, and not that knowledgeable regarding Trek.

Varies for me. Sometimes I can't wait to dig in, other times I'm over it by the time it's done. I think the more complicated the recipe is and the longer it takes, the less appetizing it is. My wife is the same way.

It's like the marathon of anticaption kills it.

I think there's maybe a lesson in there. Don't look forward too much to good things, and don't dread too much the bad things.

She must have ripped off some wealthy people. Rookie mistake. Only steal from the poor, then the justice system doesn't care.

Yup. I've installed and re-installed Windows more times than I care to count, and this is basically my method when dealing with new PCs with bundleware. It's not like the bad old days. The provided uninstallers work just fine as long as the PC is from a reputable source.

In the aisle of a truck stop convenience store between magazine racks. Our tour bus had broken down again. It was in some midwestern town, can't even remember the state, as this was in the late 80s. Was reading magazines on the floor to kill time and fell asleep. Fortunately the clerk didn't care.

My broken brain thinks up of a lot of dumb questions about science, history, and other topics. I use it all the time to answer those. Especially if it's a question that's a nuisance to lookup on Wikipedia (though I still love Wikipedia). I like ChatGPT because of the interactive nature of it. And I often have dumb follow-up questions for it.

It has also been a huge help when I get stuck of a coding or scripting task. Both at work and at home.

One of my favorite shows ever!

Same. A former coworker and I were in two different bands together, and we've stayed in touch over many years. And I'm pretty tight with 2 of my current coworkers, and friendly-chatty with a third.

But I keep everyone else on a low information diet. Especially my boss. He loves to use people's hobbies, personality quirks, etc, against them. Almost anything that isn't "working hard like a professional" is seen as some kind of weakness by that idiot. His only real hobby is 'craft beer'...because of course it is. (Not meant as a slam against people into beer, but my boss thinks that's an entire personality).

Not that crazy but I'd never seen anything like it before.

Over 15 years ago, I was standing in a very long line at St. Basil's in Moscow. A small pack of tourists (half a dozen or so) started to "sneak" their way into cutting in line. About 30 French people in a tour group immediately started scolding them in loud unison. They shamed them into taking their place at the end of the line. It was such an automatic and united scolding. Highly entertaining.

A fellow traveler, far more experienced than I am, said that the French are known for doing that sort of thing.

Glad I helped, hope you find it engaging!

Yup, and people younger than a certain age think email is as archaic as the pony express.

Breaking Points. I disagree with the conservatives on there, but respect them. They are smart and rational, and often make good points.

Hunting seals and whales in some cases, as in Alaska.

I do resin printing (SLA) and warmer is always better (within reason). On cooler days I wrap the UV shield with a brewer's belt (AKA a fermentation belt). Then I cover the whole thing with the cardboard box the printer came in. Works like a charm. The belt keeps it nice and warm without getting scary hot (75-80F or 24-27C). It pulls low wattage, less than most light bulbs.

For filament printing, something similar might work, but I have zero experience with FDM.
