My grandma once complained about something wrong with her web browser. She had a generic install of Windows, so was using Internet explorer. I told her she should use Firefox (my cousin was there, and agreed) so she told us to change it.

Installed Firefox, deleted desktop icon of Internet explorer, added desktop icon for Firefox. My grandma couldn't understand why the little picture was different, didn't know what to do to get to Facebook, and told us to fix it so it worked again.

So my cousin changed the icon from Firefox to internet explorer. Problem solved.

Linux is a good idea in theory, but someone really needs to put the work in to make it look and work as close as humanly possible to Windows. I don't have time or patience to be 24-7 tech support for everyone in my family over 60.

you can get fiber washers at your local home improvement center. If you're routinely stressing the joints on the bedframe, the fiber washers last a lot longer than paper.

How does this work? Can I train it on someone else's data to steal their WiFi password?

It's weird that corporations merit due process, while actual humans go without. Right? That's weird, right?

I was in Spain a few years ago, and decided against certain mementos for this reason. Sorry, it may not be KKK, but I won't display a whirling log in my house for similar reasons..

When I was in elementary school, we came home from shopping and discovered someone had pried off the lock and stolen my bike. I was inconsolable. About an hour later I spotted a kid from my class riding my bike, and managed to recover it.

I looked that guy up a few years ago. Found him on the sex offender registry.

In high school, one of my classmates shot and killed his sister's friend while cleaning a .22 rifle. There was a trial, but I don't remember the verdict. As a minor, it might have been sealed. He disappeared for about a year. When he came back, he was completely withdrawn and...changed.

There was a guy at my high school that was just an absolute jackass. One of those guys that you know is never going to amount to anything, and will probably be in prison shortly after graduation. He disappeared my junior year, I thought he had moved.

I looked that guy up a few years ago. Actually, he had broken into someone's house (a burglary) and beat the shit out of the homeowner when he was discovered. But he'd also been held back in school a couple times, so he was 18 when he did it. When I looked him up, he had just been released from prison.
