ooterness@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My foot found the worst Lego that can be stepped on.English5·3 months agoIn this case, I knew it because of a “botanicals” set that I assembled recently.
Those sets use a lot of pieces in creative ways, often in unusual colors. In particularly obscure cases, like this crown or the rose petals that were originally from a car fender, the manual will include a brief trivia callout.
I remembered the callout, and that was enough to find it by keyword on the fan database sites.

I am not a vampire lawyer, but vampire courts do tend to side with the vampire when these types of questions come up after the fact.
Yes, you agreed to the Terms of Service (aka Social Contract). For people in the USA, that includes the 4th amendment, which explicitly allows law enforcement (living or semi-living) to enter with a warrant. Therefore you have granted permission to enter.
If they don’t have a warrant, or if they messed up the paperwork somehow, then they burst into flame.

ooterness@lemmy.worldto memes@lemmy.world•Have you heard about Blue Screen syndrome?English26·1 year agoI saw that happen once in a big presentation.
There was a team of students presenting their work to ~200 people. Right in the middle, a pop-up says updates are finished and the computer needs to restart. It has a helpful 60-second countdown, but “cancel” is grayed out, so all they can do is watch.
I was only in the audience and I still have nightmares.

Computers should use GPS or TAI everywhere. Dealing with time zones and leap seconds is for human readability and display purposes only.
