Once had to explain to an old lady (in full-time employment in a job that requires use of a computer) that the mouse moves around on the desk surface. She was trying to move the cursor by putting the mouse on the screen.

I think they're amazing. The chemistry of colored flame has fascinated me since I was young, and there's nothing quite like being close to explosions. If I had more time and lived in the US I'd be a hobby pyrotechnician.

Affinity is the closest but still a ways off being a viable replacement for ID or PS. Source: worked in a design studio, every few years we would try Affinity in an attempt to de-Adobe our workflows but it's just not comparable.

Project manager in the creative industries. One place I worked had this policy of moving receptionists into project management. Zero experience and zero training prior to starting.

Also, scroll up to see Alan, the dude behind Valve's Lighthouse tracking tech for VR. And now I just realised it's >20 years since I first browsed his awesome hobby website Alan's Lab.

Free-roam VR arcades where you have a whole mall or office to run around in would be cool!

Pretty sure you can eat Fluorescein with no ill effects other than turning your piss dayglo. It's very widely used as a 'non-toxic' tracer dye so I'd imagine studies have been done.

My lil bro thought hobgoblins were real until he was 14.

Accused me of setting fire to the school (I didn't do it), and repeatedly 'interviewed' me trying to get me to admit to it. I was off-site at the time at a music exam (my mum had picked me up, it was all arranged formally in advance so the school were aware) but despite this they doubled down on trying to blame me and even got the police involved. All because I had a reputation of being a bit of a pyromaniac (I was/am interested in pyrotechnic chemistry/fireworks but have never committed arson!). I layer found out they discovered who actually started the fire but did nothing about it for reasons.

Used to be in charge of wet proofing and colour management for a design studio. Accurate meme.

Definitely a skill issue at play here.
