New urinal designs could prevent 265,000 gallons of urine splashing onto the floor (and your legs, presumably) a day, if you imagine America's entire inventory being replaced overnight by Cornucopia or Nautilus. Urinals have not changed much since they started becoming...
The Glyph Drawing Club blog has a fantastic post about the 'small house' to be found in IBM code page 437. Unicode has inherited it (hopefully it'll show up quoted below in whatever form your system offers) but why was it there? — Read the rest The post The mysterious "small...

I'm a big fan of superficially cute things that turn out to be 'angry tales of apocalypse,' as Frances Wilson puts it. Hers is Moomin, which author and artist Tove Jansson optimized for both ends of that spectrum. In 'The dark side of the Moomins' Wilson charts just how...
If nothing else, it's the most unique dating simulator concept since the one that does your taxes for you. Date Everything! (exclamation mark mandatory, I assume) allows you to do just that. There are a solid hundred fully-voiced household appliances, abstract concepts, and...
In my humble opinion, restaurant workers of all types aren't respected enough. Front of house, back of house, wherever – it's too often considered a stepping stone rather than a place anyone would actually want to stay. Be nicer to your waiters, or they may start a massively...
I've been using 1Password for at least a decade. I do not want to use Apple Passwords. I do not like Apple Passwords. Killing this unrequested service on my iPad and iPhone was easy: just delete the app. Doing it on a Mac? — Read the rest The post How to turn off Apple...

Mr. Inbetween initially aired in Australia back in 2018. Even then, it had some dust on it: the series, which ended up spanning three seasons, was based on a 2005 flick called The Magician, which I am now tracking down to buy. — Read the rest The post Mr. Inbetween is my new...

In case you missed it, Season 7 of Black Mirror just hit Netflix. Although the last couple seasons have contained far more misses than hits for me (in my opinion, the Season 3 episode 'Shut Up and Dance' is the peak of the series as a whole, and it's almost ten years old!),...
