Maybe sure it's not clogged with dirt and dust. A short burst of pressurized air from the outside can work wonders

It’s a new laptop, FTR, one that I got just a few months ago because it could handle Windows 11 and my old one couldn’t. It’s not even six months old.

The program is actually Dell Power Manager.

Upon completing the filming The Lion in Winter, Katherine Hepburn told her co-star Peter O'Toole, 'When I started in this business, I was advised never to work with children or animals. You, Peter, are both.'

The catalyst for the discovery of the Dunning-Kruger effect was a robbery case involving a perp who thought that because lemon juice is made from invisible ink, that if he covered his face in lemon juice, it would make his face invisible.





Also, somehow, drawing facial hair on your face with a sharpie is a surprisingly effective means of disguise. Using it for quarter-assed blackface, however, is not.

The bar onboard Aristotle Onassis's yacht Christina O. has stools upholstered in whale foreskin.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Wait a bit, I remember that factoid. Is that the same yacht from Palme D’Or winner The Triangle of Sadness?
