How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house?
I have been reading a lot lately about not wearing outside shoes in the house and it interests me even more because I’ve been saving to re-carpet my whole house.

What are some things that Linux can't do, but Windows can?
what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

How the fuck can I kill 20 hours?
My 13 hour flight just got delayed 7 hours, I’m stuck at my second airport, and I dont think I’m gonna make it. I have some movies and audio books on my phone, but really only anticipated having to burn the flight time via napping and some media, not 7 hours leading up to it, and I’m pretty sure I’m gonna mentally burn...
