If they were, they'd be called Agree and Disagree buttons.
"Can't" be hard, or "can" be hard? Seems like the second option is more natural for that sentence.
You say paranoid delusion, I say let me see those notes you're writing-!
I'm told that Ferniehurst Castle on the border between Scotland and England was built with the stairs spiralling in the opposite direction because so many of the clan that built it were left-handed.
A boxing coach once told me it's harder to fight lefties because they go against what you've trained for.
My cologne selection would get bonus points for upsetting you.
Stupid human race. Every time I'm almost ready to give up on us completely, someone does something that blows the cynicism right out of me.
My wife's crockery cabinet. We bought it via an auction website from someone who swore it was brand-new. Guess he didn't realise if we knew it was built in the 1940s we would have wanted it more, not less.
For measuring brief periods of time, it could be how long it takes bubbles to reach a particular height from the sources. I'm sure it would be a bit different at each depth/pressure, so you'd need to take that into account.
Right as in - what? Believed? That's not quite the same as right (ethically or factually), is it?
I'm gonna be thinking about this for hours.
I think this comic's writer is going through some things right now.
I eat 'em toasted with peanut butter for breakfast most days. Just got finished with one. I don't know what the deal is, so I'm going to invent one: a medieval French chef sold his soul for the recipe and the English adopted them as a reminder that all French bakers should go to the devil!
That sounds interesting. What's the process for making it? What colour does it come out?
Message bullets
Picture this: you're working in a large open-plan office and you need to send a message to Steve at the other end of the room. You pull out your messenger handgun, dictate your message (because you paid for the voice recognition feature) and let it engrave your words on a bullet. Then you simply fire it at the target mounted above Steve's cube!
Fast, attention-getting and simple. It's the perfect system.

Tesco's Laser-Etched Avocados to Save on Packaging Waste - Core77
"Laser avocado" sounds like a Doritos flavor, but it's actually a packaging technique being trialed by Tesco. In a bid to reduce packaging waste, the UK supermarket chain is laser-etching avocados rather than using barcode stickers. And for their avocado products that come in twin packs, they're dit...
I'm sharing this because any reduction in unnecessary packaging waste is good for the planet - and because I think laser-etching avocados is funny. 🙂
Alternatives to onion grating
I followed a Jaime Oliver recipe for curry, which started with grating onion, ginger and garlic. I liked the curry, but grating an onion is a miserable job. He said that technique unlocked the onion's 'sweetness'. How much difference do you think I'd notice if I used a food processor?
A community-based approach to restoration using an ingenious device can bring back coral reefs traumatized by dynamite fishing.

Loki (spoilers)
I noticed that one of the monitors in the loom control room had "SKIN?" written on it in the dust that covered it. It seemed pretty mysterious and I was sure it was a detail that was going to be important, but it never came up as far as I noticed. Any theories as to what it's about?
Book recommendations for cosmic horror on a spaceship
I've been on a cosmic horror kick lately, and what I'd really like to read is stories or novels of the awful and unfathomable on a spaceship. Stories where we go to them, poke what shouldn't be poked, scan what shouldn't be scanned, and things proceed from there.
Automated wind-energy system brings portable renewables off-grid
A new electrolysis system can pump green hydrogen from water without an expensive membrane, taking a giant step toward the $1-per-kg goal.

Painter's tape on tile edges
I recently watched a Wyloch's Armory clip about using painter's tape as edge-cladding for corrugated cardboard tiles. Has anyone tried this? Does the tape take acrylic paint well? If I let segments of tape overlap at the corners, how thick will it look?
Moving from an electric stovetop to a gas range
Those of you who've used both, what do I need to know about the difference?
