My feet don’t touch the ground on chair height toilets. I don’t know about you but it is very uncomfortable to try and use it while your feet are dangling. To solve this I’ve repurposed a single step stool that lives in the restroom at home.
For most other things I have a thing-grabber, tongs, and a tall person I can summon by pathetically crying out “tall person!”
I stand on the wheels of cars when scraping the windshield or removing snow so I can reach the middle of the windshield. Doesn’t work with every car though.
Recently saw a video where the presenter attended a press event, but ended up watching the thing from other attendees’ phones being held in the air, because the presenter wasn’t tall enough to see the stage 😢
I guess it could be a nice hack at concerts if you can’t see the stage properly
Years ago they ran a competition along with their “GoodWeird” campaign. I got high enough on the leaderboard of their little web game to win a (substantial) prize yet they refused to ever respond to me.
I don’t care if ThinkPads are good, fuck them. Especially fuck their marketing team.
You’re right, I got the direction of acquisition backwards, I’d thought IBM acquired Lenovo, not the other way around, my apologies. My vote is for IBM then.
Google, Amazon and Facebook will never see another cent, ad-view or personalized data point from me.
So far, this has affected relatively little to be honest. The most impact was losing access to WhatsApp.
I have a nice aluminum stepladder. I discovered the handiest place to store it is behind the living room curtain. Much easier than in a closet. And much safer than climbing on chairs!
I dramatically strain for something that’s too high up for me to reach it. Pretend to try and weild the force to pull it towards me. And then wait until my very tall partner just comes along to grab it.
Facebook and Elon Musk’s companies (both’s effects on global society are way more egregious than other tech companies,) pretty much any company that wears faith on their sleeve
Moe is hard to define (I can’t do it), but if you just switch it for “cute” no one will probably know the difference. So: Fit-cute, kimono-cute, smol-cute, etc. Also, it’s used as an adjective, so some is more, not is a moe.
Moe (萌え, Japanese pronunciation: [mo.e] ⓘ), sometimes romanized as moé, is a Japanese word that refers to feelings of strong affection mainly towards characters in anime, manga, video games, and other media directed at the otaku market. Moe, however, has also gained usage to refer to feelings of affection towards any subject.
Moe is related to neoteny and the feeling of “cuteness” a character can evoke. The word moe originated in the late 1980s and early 1990s in Japan and is of uncertain origin, although there are several theories on how it came into use. Moe characters have expanded through Japanese media, and the concept has been commercialised. Contests, both online and in the real world, exist for moe-styled things, including one run by one of the Japanese game rating boards. Various notable commentators such as Tamaki Saitō, Hiroki Azuma, and Kazuya Tsurumaki have also given their take on moe and its meaning.
