I like that. Instead of just saying "don't park here", they actually point you to where you're supposed to park. They didn't have to do that, so I appreciate that they bothered.

There's a real unwillingness in our society to talk about whether or not it was ethical to run over Grandma with a reindeer.
I mean, how do we know Grandma wasn't a serial killer??

I have one of those laptops where instead of having two separate buttons below the touchpad, the corners of the touchpad just press down as buttons.
I've gotten used to it in the two years I've had this thing but I can't say I like it much.
When I took apart my laptop to replace the headphone jack the precarious assembly that makes the "push down the pad" thing work came apart and I had to piece it back together, which was a pain.
Then I had to do the same thing today because the left button stopped working...turns out a tiny chip of plastic broke off somewhere inside the case and got jammed up under it.
It's a lot of hassle for something that's not really any easier to use than the traditional kind.

I use a USB mouse at home but I generally use the touchpad at school because a mouse is yet another thing I'd have to pack up with the laptop and charger.
The exception was when I was doing CAD work last school year, doing 3D CAD modeling with a touchpad is a whole new level of painful.

Also, I thought most laptops had about 3 USB ports? This one and my last one both did...

laptop motherboards tend to be pretty compact by nature of having to fit in a portable device
i guess they just figure you'll get a USB hub if you need more ports
I asked that before I realized the average Harvestman is less than an inch around.
Oh, hey, daddy longlegs! They are really strange and actually pretty cute. They're scavengers and they drop legs when they are scared which is honestly kind of sad.

I always used "daddy long legs" to refer to cellar spiders myself

harvestmen don't walk the same way as spiders, which doesn't sound like it would make much difference but it really does to me
like when i see a spider walking, even if i know what kind it is and know it isn't dangerous, somewhere in the back of my mind a little mini panic alarm goes off
harvestmen look a lot like spiders, but entirely don't have that effect on me

actually come to think of it i have heard people use 'daddy long legs' to refer to any kind of spidery/long legged insect but tbh i always thought it was a name for the cranefly

to make it more confusing in some parts of the northeast we say daddy longleggers instead.
don't even get started on water striders / water spiders / waterbugs / waterflies

It fills you with determination.
I am unfunny
I now remember what that is a reference to and I am giggling.

idk, i can see they look a little fearsome in an extreme close up but i honestly think they're kind of cute irl
some people mean a cellar spider, some people mean a harvestman
around here it means a cranefly
i think it varies by region

Okay, so I do have abnormally long legs, but that's not the point.
