Ahh… 5-20% of the time! Most commonly seen on portable toilets, the most horrible brand name of which is “Honey Bucket” (portajohn, portapotty more commonly said).

That design is vastly more common than any other, is it? In the 5-20%, it’s not red versus white dots, but some kind of indicator period. May say “Occupied” and rotate to blank, for instance.

Probably most rare is indicators on individual stalls within a larger single gender restroom. (Indicators on single-occupancy bathrooms are the thing you’ll see if any.)

Hmm now that you say that, nobody’s mentioned clearing your throat

Not a city slicker perhaps Spacey? :) Key could be behind the counter, with the employee; could be electronically unlockable by employee.

(Guess I don’t want to make a person waste time asking an employee, esp if they come back to a couple people now in line.) “Come back with a warrant” is too good to miss an opportunity on now that I read it in one of the top comments here!

What was that, Jay Spheres sir?

Probably just young

Maybe used Chrome for years before ever hearing about Firefox

Like FB putting every character in every [w][o][r][d] on the site into a unique code block

And always with skepticism!

A couple other cool things I’ve seen experts do:

The first: finding bugs which, considering the scarcity of humans capable of bugfinding doesn’t seem so bad in our weeks with finite hours.

Next, really tedious work that experts do know how to do, but simply wouldn’t prioritize because they have lives. A big one seems to be reverse engineering, like to give new life to ancient hardware. “I connected <ewastey thing> over USB at <IP>, give me control.”

Local, avoids consolidation of power & privacy leaks

Use in limited cases, avoids skill atrophy

Nice

I wonder how efficient those always-hot water kettles are

Everyone I know who wears Vibram FiveFingers now being asked why they haven’t upgraded yet

Looks like AliExpress but DIY would be epic

Nice :)

Good warning here to watch MVNOs (anyone besides the largest largest carriers). Save tons of money, but deprioritized traffic.

At a World Cup match, for example, if anyone gets connected it’s probably those with higher phone bills.

Wonderful/necessary deal for many, still!

I like a step one of

“Hey OP, noticed this is slop, did you catch that?”

OP isn’t a repost bot or anything, would assume honest oversight first

IDK if we wanna go that aggressive if the parent commenter didn’t exactly go that far first

For the non-Germans who want to know the source of the confusion

🙋‍♂️ how’d you know we were here?!

I think we’re on the same page.

When the tool says “it’s in this chapter”, I furthermore want it to essentially embed a screenshot of that exact reference. Then I can scroll through search results on a single page, and whatever grabs me I can open the full link.

What you’re looking for, that’s one of the best uses of LLMs. No need to regurgitate anything, just be an amazing search that highlights relevant segments of original documents. Something that’s hard to even hate (“I only want to be able to find exact query match results!” is a request we don’t hear).

Instead we’re headed for Google Zero I hear
