You can 3D print containers that fit all kind of juice/pop/milk lids. They can be any height, but my favorite are the ones that nest almost perfectly inside giving you one bottlecap worth of storage (perfect for pills or sim/sd cards).

I've had my printer for 6 months and still get a kick out of this.

I would be happy for it to switch places with Chartreuse, which feels strongly like a red word and is definitely not a bright yellow-green

One that bugs me a lot that I noticed just in the last 5 years or so is over pronouncing the T in words like celebrity and community - yes it's spelled with a T but it's not fully voiced like you're saying the word Tea. I noticed it first on YouTube and now in some audiobooks and even the occasional coworker.

"outlaws" also being a verb makes this title difficult to understand

I'm amused there's a GMC model called the "Terrain", not all terrain or off road or anything, just "this vehicle drives on surfaces"

When I think of growing up female again, but in the current time, it sounds terrible, but then I think of growing up male inbhe current times and it seems awful too, so I think I have to tick the "neither box" and accept I'm too old for this modern shit in any gender form.

Comparing things of dissimilar proportions is confusing?

A sofa height turtle, sofa width turtle and sofa length turtle are all different things!

The most recent interesting ones have been The Age of Deer(all about deer in North America from a social perspective), scarcity brain(how our brains seem rigged for gambling and how it affects our lives) and WordSlut(gender politics and how it interacts with language).

I've never been much into reading fiction, but would love good human-adjacent(ie not particle physics) nonfic recommendations.

I think people's looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.

One is that people's choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.

People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.

Even things someone can't control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.

I work in tech and often have to create accounts for testing or to hand over to clients. I was so happy when we hit 2019 and Jan 1, 2001 became a valid birthday, 01-01-01 in any date order.

(back before the days of smartphones & internet everywhere)

I once was sick in a foreign country and bought some chewable vitamin C that turned out to be those fizzing tabs you put in water - cue foaming at the mouth and utter confusion.

Happy it was still edible, just not in the way I tried to consume it.
