Safe to run a box fan face down?

Jump

  • You could always build a plywood box/cube thing to duct the airflow downward, but with an opening on the side so you can use any cheap box fan.

    • WTF is a rural town in the USA?

    Jump

  • See also: census designated places, a collection of people with no formal town incorporation/government. My dad grew up in a "town" (CDP) of about 250 residents. It's about a half hour drive from the nearest real town, for things like groceries and hospitals.

    • Great addition to any vessel

    Jump

  • Between "port" "starboard" "right" and "left" only two of the words have the same number of letters.

    Left = Port

    For the once per year I have to think about this, that's my mnemonic.

  • You just know somebody in that meeting suggested adding "copilot" in there somewhere.

    Jump

  • The ninth wind is the strongest.

    • How long is a meter? (Only weird answers/definitions allowed)

    Jump

  • Depends on the meter, dude. There are thermo-meters, speedo-meters, baro-meter...

    • New ‘Marathon’ Info: Bungie Morale, Launch Worries And Changing Plans

    Jump

  • Bungie is a lot like Bioware in that regard: Some real bangers on the resume, but none very recently. It should serve as a reminder that companies don't make games, people do. If the right people aren't involved, or too many of the wrong people are, past successes are entirely meaningless.

    • I have never met a woman named after her own mother

    Jump

  • Do middle names count? My grandmother's first name became my mother's middle name. Then my sister and her daughter also got that middle name.

    • What "same actor, different character" match-ups would you like to see?

    Jump

  • Jean-Luc Picard vs Professor X just playing chess. Alternating 2d and 3d of course.

    • Krysten Ritter Officially Returning as Jessica Jones for ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Season 2

    Jump

  • Recast Iron Fist if you need to, as long as Jessica Henwick comes back as Colleen Wing.

    • Top 10 PC exclusive platformers -- not available on console.

    Jump

  • Let's not overlook the historical significance of another PC-exclusive (until some much later ports) action-platformer, the Commander Keen series.

    The success of the first release inspired the creators to quit their day jobs and start their own company, id software.

    • Every week has WTF in it (MTWTFSS)

    Jump

  • After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar is like, "WTF".

    • Why is nobody mad about TGI Fridays taking the lords name in vain?

    Jump

  • TGI Fridays stands for Thank God it’s Friday!

    Lol, they can't even decide if "Friday(s)" is singular or plural.

    • Boss Fight

    Jump

  • Is a pile of ammo just off screen to the left?

    • Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US?

    Jump

  • It's harder to do insider trading if you aren't manipulating markets by posting contradictory statements every morning from your gold-plated toilet.

    • The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared.

    Jump

  • Always eat your veggies first. I recommend asparagus.

    • 'Madame Web' Outstreamed 'Deadpool & Wolverine' in First Weeks (Despite Flopping in Theaters)

    Jump

  • This reminds me of the stories about Twilight being one of the most pirated movies of that era. Plenty of people didn't want to pay $10/ticket + snacks, etc, but were still curious about the cultural train wreck.

    • Why do you think JD Vance killed the Pope?

    • Notepad autocorrected what I was typing for my foreign language exercise

    Jump

  • TIL notepad has spell check.
