Re: Cooking in space

About my icecream, it does not come from empty head. There is a very now classic recipe of ice cream with liquid nitrogen.

Re: xckd take on passwords

As a user of a supposed airtight company, I am forced to use a 'airtight' password. What did I do ? I rotate ! The system remembers only the last 3 passwords and ask to change of passwords every 3 months. The rest is easy to guess. I know 2 persons who do the same. That answers to all the security a...

Re: That's Irrelevant!

And also, totally irrelated to the previous post (and I apologize for that), why do the barges on canals have an anchor in front ? They never use it. Please help to answer this question which has been traumatizing my whole childhood and youth.

Re: Ferocious Felines

To enter in details, I was trying to teach her to swim, she panicked as we were going deeper and use her claws (one should say nails for humans but for women ?) to hold to my arm. No sausage involved.
