Lots of cheap switch mechanisms have parts that can decay just by exposure to the elements, like rubber domes, foam, springs that can get rusty, carbon contacts where the carbon flakes off, etc.

Also, always remember that "the elements" includes gravity, so there's one thing that's always gonna be wearing on your stuff, albeit super slowly :v:

Interesting video about how a guy had to jump through the hoops to get his shitty book removed from circulation.

I could have watched ponies this afternoon but instead I watched Black Mirror: Bandersnatch.

My choices are not my own, however.

I watched The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina on Netflix and I totally missed the livestream but I eventually caught up

I don't know how many people regularly watch Jeopardy, but the latest champion just obliterated the single-game record, winning $110,914. In 4 days, he's won over 244 grand. :starity:

Is it just me, or is it super annoying and condescending whenever anyone uses the phrase "everybody knows [something that's apparently common knowledge to anyone except me]"?

I hate it. :-/

Filled out a form to get a Sellers Permit in California.

I know these things are always a pain to fill out, but the kind of questions I got, I swear. From listing my suppliers for the books to asking for cell carrier when I listed my cell phone number (why does it matter what my cell provider is?).

If they want to text you, providers often alias SMS messaging to an e-mail address <phone number>@<somecarrierdomain>.net. It probably just means they're cheaping out on their text message service.

Someone at Oregon’s tourist board loves Studio Ghibli



There is some spectacular animation and design in this ad. One of the only ads I’ve ever seen that I didn’t immediately despise :-I (but I probably won’t visit Oregon any time soon)

Ever wondered what it would be like if Ralph Bakshi made a Peanuts cartoon?



This is pretty much it

Somebody made a list of all the "Scooby-Doo" clones that Hanna-Barbera (and sister company Ruby-Spears) made



(click for link)

There's a LOT. Like, nearly 2 dozen from the 1970s until the early 1980s. I'd say the worst of the bunch are either "Speed Buggy" (weirdly not the first time Mel Blanc voiced a car) or "Jabberjaw".

Although while I've never watched "Rickety Rocket", the intro doesn't give me much hope :-I

There was ANOTHER shark-themed cartoon that debuted the same time as "Jabberjaw", called "Misterjaw". The premise being a German-accented shark (voiced by Arte Johnson) goes around scaring people by yelling "GOTCHA!"

Both cartoons happened because "Jaws" was a box office hit, hence at least two shark characters during the 1976 season.

Also, in the theme song Jabberjaw proclaims he's the "latest, greatest shark you ever saw", except I kept mishearing "latest" as "lamest" :-I
