And then have the media (Wall Street Journal and Readers Digest especially) tell everybody that yes, tipping everybody everywhere is the new normal and we need to get used to it.
I've gotten into so many arguments on Facebook with people who tip their mechanics and doctors. People are eating this shit up.
I learned that the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. And that busywork and adhering to the rubric is far more important than learning or producing anything useful.
That is cheap, but if you go to Google's own page about Chromebooks, the options you see there are all in regular laptop pricing territory. Does anyone actually buy Pixelbooks or gaming Chromebooks?
Yes, I'm aware of that. But within the Linux community, the majority seem to prefer Android since it's based on Linux specifically, and it's not Apple. I also like macOS partly because of its BSD heritage.
Say what you will, but this article actually does a pretty good job summing up why I don't want to switch back to Android after trying my first iPhone. As a longtime Linux user, I naturally thought I'd be using Android for the foreseeable future, since it's Linux under the hood.
One of my friends got her first iPhone, and she talked me into giving it a try, and while I was lost for a while, I was quickly blown away by how much better everything worked. And knowing that I'll get the latest software the same day as every other iPhone user, for at least five years, is pretty awesome.
Android could be a great thing, but manufacturers rely way too heavily on proprietary modifications to both the UI and drivers and have no incentive to provide updates for as long as Apple does, because they want you to buy a new phone. The fragmentation among Android manufacturers is real too. I don't want to have to root my phone and reflash the OS just to get a usable phone either.
Look, I know tons of people on the Internet are like "lol apple sux" but there is truth to this article. If you love Android, or flashing a custom OS, I'm certainly not going to tell you you're wrong. It's just not my cup of tea anymore.
I learned most of this in psychology classes years ago. There is also a Wikipedia article on the topic. I'm not an expert at all, but I find this stuff fascinating.
Facial expressions are a powerful form of communication. Faces (especially eyes) are so important to communication in the human brain that we see faces in places (pareidolia).
There is also a theory that we evolved to have the whites of our eyes visible so others can see where you're looking and react appropriately (especially in the case of danger).
I don't like desktop GUIs that aren't designed for a mouse and make you memorize keyboard shortcuts to be usable. Keyboard shortcuts are nice to have but shouldn't be mandatory, IMO.

Just wait until you get a tip prompt on a self-checkout kiosk.
