The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Also easier if you have a magnet.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Unless it's an old-fashioned bone needle.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Glamcookie, have you tried comixology on your iPad yet?

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I have not, but will now! Thanks, Scola!

Once you do, you really need to download Jam in the Band.

"transfer rates of up to 1.4GB/s while both reading and writing" That's awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like how one of the comments is "I'll be in my bunk."

For ita: Handy reverse image search engine

Lets you take an image and search the web for other sites that have the same image. Useful to find larger/better copies of an image, etc.

I have this installed as a Firefox add-n. Make sez:

The same helpful commenter who gave me a hand on this morning's mystery dentist office flyer post also hipped me to the wonder that is TinEye, a Heaven-sent search engine that lets you upload or link to an image, and then finds other instances of the same image, or cropped or resized versions of it, all over the web. Sort of like Google's Similar Images, but with the ability to directly upload your query image. Next time I have a mystery photo, I'll know where to go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, my god. I could spend days there, getting better versions of shit. Thanks, tommy.

Their database of images is incomplete, but constantly getting better as they add stuff.

It's fun - I found this massage place with a weird picture of a woman (ostensibly a massage therapist) that actually was taken from a Russian dating site.
