Richard Matthew Stallman


Yeah I used to get my hair cut there. Convenient that it was at work and you can book your time online.


This isn't "every single thing that you could possibly want to talk about". This is something that half of the world population experiences roughly monthly for some number of years. Certainly it's more frequently experienced than the emojis - though I appreciate those. So it's clearly something that should exist. The underwear might seem odd but it's no weirder than the smiling poop emoji...

Morning wood emoji when?


smiling poop:blood::used toilet paper:underwear. Emojis generally common nouns, and generally come with associated context to further specify what the exact meaning is. And, just to be sure, you're comparing two demographics of similar size (women vs. people who use toilet paper); I think that neither group should be given specific emojis in this case.


And 100% of the world's population has an ass, but we're still stuck with the peach emoji.


"than the emojis" was really "than the [Christmas] emojis"


Colgate is a liberal arts college with a div 1 sports program. There are probably others


I can only think of 1 other.

There are literally hundreds of liberal arts/teaching colleges...

Also, Colgate definitely isn't in the tuition-dependent, take-all-comers mold of the vast majority of teaching-oriented colleges and universities in the USA. Their acceptance rate is below 30%, whereas most teaching-oriented colleges take 70+% of applicants (and draw from a much less well-prepared population of applicants to begin with).


Is the other one Colorado College? Because when I was there we played for the national championship in hockey, with only 1800 students or so.



Autonomous vehicles could optimize routes and driving to get things to places faster, reduce stress while driving, and create safer roads. If the tech was widespread enough, there could be autonomous lanes that can drive at very fast speeds too.


No need for a strap, Bluetooth linked locks that are automated so when one opens the other does to. Or put the lock on the wall rather than on the door and have a mechanical device running up and through the roof to the other door, configured such that the two door locks are restricted similar to the automation.


This hotel was built over 100 years ago and was destroyed in a fire in the 1960s. The article isn't about how to actually solve the problem of locking shared bathroom doors... it's about sharing insights into how designers were better able to solve a problem by focusing on the objective rather than focusing on the implementation.


But why the need for Bluetooth, when you have a strap?


I'd know what I'd bet on to actually work.


Battery dies every so often and guests complain. Also, Bluetooth. It's often unreliable.


Something about someone smelling cake or a bakery in their neighborhood when there wasn't one, but it turned out to be chemicals leaching from the ground due to what was there years ago and buried.



I usually see people comment on the font and scoff as it's generally not aweful, but that font color just looks terrible and unreadable on my screen. Is it a really light grey for everyone or just me?


We made something like this for a hackathon a year ago.
