I don’t usually wear dress shirts to work except for big presentations, but how on earth does it only take you two minutes? Are you only counting active time ironing? Or ironing 10 shirts in one session and giving the per-shirt average?

Start to finish, from getting out the iron, plugging in to start up, setting up my ironing board and laying out a shirt, waiting to heat up, ironing the shirt plus flipping it around and ironing again, then putting everything away after the iron cools down, it’s usually like 15-20 minutes for me. Maybe you can do something else when the iron is heating up, but it still seems like at least 10-15 minutes. Still a short enough period to not be a huge hassle once a week, but way too much to do every morning.

A 2021 survey of 44 gender nonconforming people incarcerated in New York state prisons found that three-quarters had experienced some form of sexual assault or inappropriate touching by corrections officers. Over a quarter reported being forced by an officer to perform oral sex.>

What the fuck? I wondered what the number is for cis people. Best I could find was a report from 2020 that said the total rate of sexual misconduct/harassment by staff was 12.3 per 1000 (1.23%). Versus, with a low sample size, 75% in the article’s survey. What. The. Fuck.

Dear Quora, I ate this sandwich but now I haven’t pooped in 23 days. Should I go see a doctor, or will my friend’s MLM elderberry quinoa enema rinse help?

Wikipedia gives examples of “curriculum vitæ” and “et cætera.” We use those both as loanwords in English, but I’ve only seen it as the separate letters “ae,” not the ligature æ.

True story: I traveled to Germany, Austria, and The Netherlands about 10 years ago with a friend on vacation. Before we arrived in Amsterdam, I warned him that some people thought that Dutch sounded silly, and he shouldn’t laugh if it sounded like gibberish. I believe I used the phrase “like the Swedish chef from the Muppets.”

We got on a bus from the train station. He heard the locals talking on the bus, and immediately burst out laughing, eliciting irritated looks from the other passengers. He continued giggling whenever anybody talked for the next 20 minutes until our stop, while I stood there embarrassed. On the walk to our Airbnb, we mercilessly mocked the Dutch language, as it is basically German with more vowels and a bunch of Vs and Js thrown in for no reason.

Get cast in a cop/spy/sci-fi drama on TV, have an assistant pull up the image on a screen, then simply say “Enhance” out loud.

Yeah, I’d rather have a thousand news stories of near-misses than one about a crash with casualties

Algebraic!

What does TLA stand for in this context?

Damn inflation! Back in my day, a nickel could buy a hamburger, two cents would get you a pack of gum, and a penny would get you a great boner! Hell, you could buy a whole book of boners for thirty-five cents!

“There are six ducks outside, and they all want Sunchips!”

Maybe not the first book to read, but one of the ones that made me think the most was The Dispossessed

Le Guin is one of my favorite authors, so I’m excited to see other people reading her for the first time!

Can I use this to unlock Blu-Ray DRM? Or is that a different slang word?

Boost (on Android) loads the image for me. Sometimes there’s a delay on some images of a few seconds, but this one works. I have version 1.0.12 (15), so maybe check that? Good luck!
