A few weeks ago I noticed my cheap Toshiba microwave does the same when the door button is partially pressed. Scary! I stood there holding it just right for a very long time to make sure it wouldn't heat a cup of water.


The author mentions a few social media sites but there are no links in the article or the "about" section to actually follow. I would have liked to have their content in my feed.


For some reason there’s not a feed on each page but the front page links to https://www.archcloudlabs.com/index.xml


I assumed it was just a bad look dumping WD-40 straight into the environment


It’s a floor polish! It’s a dessert topping!

And apparently a shingle sealer too.


I too think it was that combined w the fact of hurting insects with it perhaps.


Yeah, I’m assuming that was the reason too.


Toric lenses align themselves, the mark is for visual inspection by the doc while in the eye.


They do align themselves but, for me at least, it can take a little while. Aiming the mark downwards really speeds things up.


My lesson came while ARP poisoning, when I saw that a teacher was using their social security number as their password.

Suddenly I realized even dumping passwords was an invasion of privacy, even if I didn't use them. And that passwords should never contain sensitive information!


I always wondered what became of Hipster Runoff.


>Showing a realistic depiction of a tornado or other weather events moving toward a real city that didn’t actually happen

A bit funny considering a realistic warning and "live" radar map of an impending, major, natural disaster occurring in your city apparently doesn't violate their ad policy on YouTube. Probably the only time an ad gave me a genuine fright.


There’s a whole genre of videos on YouTube simulating the PSAs of large scale disasters. Nuclear war, meteors, etc. My 12 year old is really into them.


I used to do this. Then when Google's search results started declining in quality, I often found it better to search by what the average user would probably write.


and what would an average user write?


An entire question instead of a bunch of keywords.


I remember being able to put in a negative tip to zero out the order cost, checkout, and tip in cash. So I don't find this shocking.


Considering what we're talking about, a negative tip might have actually charged the driver. Hope you tipped in cash more than you negative tipped. :-P


Yeah that was definitely a concern ahah. But it was a past and short-lived life and tipping big was definitely a favorite hobby at the time, so I'm sure that if I completed the order that he got a stack!


delivery guy pays you to deliver your food


They're still telling stories about how they got to watch BlueGh0st take the bag with his own hands. They begged to watch him eat, but that creeped him out a bit. They settled on an autograph and a handshake instead of payment. Ah, the life of a celebrity HN user.


I was surprised to find RC is also common in the country Georgia (Sakartvelo), but Coke seemed to most common, and I do not recall ever seeing an RC advertisement, especially with tanks.


Funny. Georgia (US) is well known as the home of Coca-Cola but when I was a kid, i remember all my kin in South Georgia drinking RC Cola.


And it turns out that Georgia (US) is also the birthplace of RC Cola, but Columbus, Georgia instead of Atlanta, Georgia. The inventor was angry at Coca-Cola for refusing to sell him syrup at a bulk discount so he made his own competing product instead, which he sold at a lower price than Coca-Cola.
