Wait until you find out about junk food. Worldwide, 1.2M die on the roads each year-that only rates a participation trophy, lol. Meanwhile, tobacco gets the Bronze (7M/year), hypertension, the Silver(9M/year) and the Gold goes to junk food, killing over 11 MILLION per year.

Using microscopic hairs on its feet to exploit the Van der Waals forces (the distance-dependent attraction between atoms or molecules) between its feet and the surface, the gecko can cling to any surface but Teflon. There are millions of hairy structures on each foot called setae, each capable of supporting up to 20 mg using Van der Waals forces. Combined, they allow a gecko to hold about 300 lbs.

Not their job to thoroughly investigate their potential clients before rendering their services. Just like cabs, Ubers, busses, trains, etc, MIGHT "help" a criminal flee local cops and jurisdictions, the overwhelming majority of the clients aren't dangerous criminals, and just like the aforementioned services, there's no client-service provider privilege when the cops ask.

This generation is not looking out for the idiots, out of any sense of altruism, lol. Rather, corporate lawyers, under pressure from insurance companies, are reacting to the swell of litigious idiots, who are winning lawsuits, because a manufacturer didn't CLEARLY state that hairdryers shouldn't be used in showers or that one shouldn't stand on the very top rung of a stepladder...or that people shouldn't parch their thirst with battery acid, lol. That's why modern documentation has all these ridiculous caveats, why modern products have all these ridiculous warning stickers plastered on them-they want to pre-emptively avoid giving idiots a pretext to sue for their idiotic actions.

I wonder if the writer just made an innocent, lazy name choice or if he was actively trolling by using a name and associated dialogue that most pre-internet readers would only take at face value, but a small subset, in the day, would find hilarious.

Could also be to dissuade people from using the stalls for hook-ups.
I worked at a WW2 era aircraft manufacturing plant that had those types of doors. Pretty sure their motive was productivity based. Hard to take a nap when any boss can see your face. This factory also had short swingdoor urinals scattered along the walls of the production floor. Since the workforce was almost exclusively male at the time of construction, it saved a lot of the schlepping time required to get to and back from the much more distant, second story, full service washrooms.

Don't know for sure if they're actually pop culture characters or just a street artist's clever creations.

Shouldn't the second message be written...in French? What if a visitor doesn't understand English, but loves to practice his French everywhere he goes?

In about 50 years, we went from Pong(sucking in my quarters as I sat at the bar in our local entertainment center) to Unreal Engine 5.4, pushing photorealistic videos rendered on the fly. During that half century, every incremental, minor improvement was bragged about by the developers and was greeted by consumers with the awe and excitement, that, the then cutting edge visuals, deserved. Such is the nature of tech. It only becomes laughably quaint and primative, when viewed through the lens of time.

Agree. Being successful doesn't equate to being famous. There's over 2700 billionaires on Earth, all "successful", but 99% aren't household names with well-known mugs. Without that photo putting her claim immediately into context, or at least a line naming them, she's just some unknown, random 20-something, complaining that her anonymous folks had very little to do with her definition of "success", making it absolutely meaningless to most viewers.

Had a non-smoking buddy at work who tried this a few times, but soon stopped on his own, lol. It's funny just how much worse it looks, when a boss walks by and gives you a glance, to be standing there empty-handed, stealing company time vs stealing the same company time, while feeding a well-known addiction. Not saying it's fair, but perception is everything.
