    “You […]” makes pretty much anything an insult.

    A positive word implies sarcasm. “You genius”. “You hero”.

    A random noun drags out the negative aspect of the noun or implies lack of a brain. “You french fry”. “You paper bag”.

    Adding a random adjective just strengthens the statement. “You british bathroom sink”. “You beautiful parking lot”.

    Of couse it depends on delivery, and using random words makes some strange insults, but I rarely see “you […]” turn into a positive compliment.



  • I’m also bothered by very detailed QR codes. Milk cartons in my country had a QR-code for their website. It would be a ~10 letter url, maybe with a short path. But for some reason, the QR code was extremely detailed, as if it contained several kilobytes of data. I’m not sure if there were a large number of tracking-related parameters in the url, but it was very obviously unreasonably large.

    Maybe if the fourth panel was removed, it would hold some humor. An expiration date on something so special as a licence go kill could give a soft chuckle. But since the fourth panel suggests that he is about to solve the issue somehow, it just makes it confusing. What is the funny part?


  • I hope I recall correctly: I was watching an episode of wan-show where they looked into a backpack returned from a miner after heavy wear, but little real damage. Live on the show they wanted to showcase the double bottom, so they cut into it (can’t recall if this was in the miners backpack or another one) and were surprized to realize there wasn’t a double bottom. Linus quickly assured, still live, that this would be handled for all customers.

    LMG did blame the manifactures of the backpack for removing a layer in a late stage design adjustment, but LMG have also alledegly taken a huge cost on assuring customers that they can receive a new backpack for free if the bottom fails for any reason.

    My memoery of this might be fuzzy, and the story I have heard comes fully from LMGs perspective, so take everything with a grain of salt.
