Five years ago I told my family not to buy me Christmas presents but to buy toys and donate them. All I wanted was a pic of the stuff they buy. Thing is, it was only meant to be that one year, but they do it every year now. I want some pressies but can't tell them to stop.

Some users have reported a potential dead zone in the trackball’s sensor when “interacting with the ball between approximately the 10–1 o’clock positions,” Kensington says in a statement. Inventory may be limited while the company’s “engineering teams are actively evaluating firmware, sensor calibration, and software options to determine what improvements may be possible.”

To stay slim, I don't eat any chips with curved edges. Today I picked through a whole bag of oven chips and selected only the straight ones so I could eat them all. Never felt so alive.

Thanks to AI, em dashes are now going to vanish from our language because people who genuinely use them will be too worried about others accusing them of using AI.

Indeed. All you have to do is leave two spaces after a full stop; no LLM does that. (Wildly overusing semicolons, like a C++ programmer, also helps.)

There should be a one question customer satisfaction survey at half time at football matches. If more than half the people in the stadium are dissatisfied then all ticket holders and TV rights holders should get their money back for that particular match.

Right. I assume that a dissatisfied crowd would cause the match to be abandoned, but Anon doesn't actually say so.

@CppGuy Well definitely that but also, it would be in your interest to vote your dissatisfaction just to go for free, even if you were lying. A ticket becomes a voluntary donation at that point.
