  • Could is maybe-can: I bet I could jump over that car [if I wanted to].

    As opposed to I bet I can jump over that car [and I'm going to try].

    Would is maybe-will: If you saw an alligator, would you run away?


    Would is also 'did', for habitual actions. When I was young, I would wait by the window for my father to come home.

  • Laptops are uniformly awful.

    You can't upgrade or replace the GPU or CPU, the hinge assembly is mechanically vulnerable, a cup of coffee over the keyboard is game over, the screen dies you've got a ridiculous cost to fix, the cooling sucks, the ergonomics suck, and you pay about double the price for half the specs.

    You need a proper screen and keyboard at your desk anyway, so unless you're hotdesking with the thing, it's just going to act like a shitty desktop most of the time.

  • For the benefits of the lurkers - this one comes up quite a bit - balls sit way higher / further forward than you think they do. All our stuff pretty much hangs off the pubic bone, and dangles down from there. We have to lean way forward to actually squish anything from underneath.
