What if I told you the idea of a passport was invented about 600 years ago and nobody needed permission to travel before that

Other answers in thread are good, but I like them because I don’t have to wait for a game to fully load if I misclick

One killer app that I still haven’t found is the ability to scan a living space and then make virtual modifications. I’ve got an idea to expand my kitchen and want to walk around it, and you’d think a VR rig that can scan rooms could do this. But I can’t find any app to do this on any VR platform.

Limiting oil absorption in the intestines sounds like a recipe for greasy diarrhea like Olestra caused.

Every kitchen has this, but I’d work on your layout. You could put about 50% more gadgets in there.

Also, store the scale vertically somewhere for maximum efficiency

Thanks for the fact check. In my defense I read this on a BBS in the 90s so the details are hazy

I’ve loved Macs since the 80s and he’s honestly the worst part about them. Everyone else who worked on the team was a brilliant, creative person. He was kind of a jerk.

Steve Jobs worked out a system with the local Mercedes dealer where he’d get a new car every three months.

Why every three months? Because that was how long you could drive without a license plate, and he liked to park in handicapped spots and they couldn’t ticket him without a plate.

They work through electron tunneling through a semiconductor, so something does go through them like an old punch card reader

Solid state is kinda like a microscopic punch card.
