You don't own anything you purchase on Steam

Games sold on Steam are not required to use Steam's DRM. There are lots of DRM free games on Steam. Steam is only required to be installed to purchase/download them but not to run them. After download, the game files can be copied and ran on any computer without any verification.

I chimed in with "Zerpa stamby imba bweb"

Lower Bound on the Length of the Shortest Superpermutation aka "The Haruhi Problem" by Anonymous

Video explaining the problem and solution

tl;dr if you have the numbers 1 and 2 you can make two permutations with them: 12 and 21. You can also make a "Superpermutation" with something like 1221 which is a sequence that contains all permutations of 1 and 2. A shorter sequence would be 121 or 212. Finding the shortest sequence that contains all permutations of any given set of numbers was an unsolved math problem. Someone posted on 4chan's anime board asking for the most efficient way to watch every permutation of "the endless 8", which are 8 nearly identical epsiodes of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. Anime nerds pride themselves on watching these episodes over and over. Someone posted a sequence with a math proof for why it is the shortest. In essence, they posted the shortest superpermutation for a set of 8. The method can be used on any sized set and doesn't just apply to sets of 8.

Why don't I strap on my job helmet and squeeze down into a job cannon and fire off into Jobland where jobs grow on jobbies!

That's literally the law Ontario courts rulled cannot apply to topless women as it is discrimination.

On July 19, 1991, a sweltering and humid day, Gwen Jacob, a University of Guelph student, was arrested after walking down a street in Guelph, Ontario while topless after removing her shirt when the temperature was 33 °C (91 °F) and was charged with indecency under Section 173(1)(a) of the Criminal Code

Also legal in Ontario, Canada. A woman was arrested for walking around topless in hot weather. She was finned by police but topless men in the area were not. Ontario courts eventually rulled this was discriminatory but the provincial government did not appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada so the ruling only applies in Ontario.

The law allows hospital placement coordinators to choose a nursing home for a patient who has been deemed by a doctor as requiring an "alternate level of care," or ALC, without consent. They can also share the patient's health information to such homes without consent. Patients can also be sent to nursing homes up to 70 kilometres from their preferred spot in southern Ontario and up to 150 kilometres away in northern Ontario. The law sparked outrage among seniors.

So seniors go to the hospital with a chronic health issue and get institutionalized instead?
