If not meant for jizz, why is it a “fucking” remote?

Yes, I’m aware of the xkcd strip.

If something conductive falls onto the contacts, it’s not bridging anything.

Technology Connections did an episode about why some plugs have holes in the flats. I believe he briefly covered this topic in that video.

Regardless of the reason and whether it’s justified, this is code for US hospitals, or so I’ve been told.

Don’t forget the penis! That’s mostly what I know of him.

To be fair, I probably couldn’t lift either.

Your interpretation is not without merit.

So glad these screenshots are in my photo library now.

I wonder how Q would fare against Gabriel from Supernatural. Their upper bounds are both mostly undefined, so I guess roughly evenly matched?

Someone I know has the surname “Merryman.” I have occasionally teased him when he was less than cheery.

I should reference this to him, as I’m sure he’s never heard it before.

Wasn’t part of that a cheat code in Duke Nukem 3d? Or maybe even Doom?

I know “beam me up Scottie” was one.

This must be how carcinisation happens.

You have failed to bring me around to your point of view.

The moon is part of us, we’re just too insecure to allow it its independence.

Amongst the Starship Troopers.

Not a problem. I’m glad I could provide edification.

If the wiki article and whatever other resources you seek out don’t satisfy your curiosity, there’s also at least one documentary on it. I think I watched it on Hulu in the US, but it may no longer be there, as that was over a decade ago.

It is difficult for me to determine whether you are asking in earnest, but just in case, most people guess that my username was inspired by the toynbee tiles. It was not; I didn’t learn of them for some time after I chose this name. (Apparently one person added a user tag to my name saying “not the tiles” after we had a similar conversation.)

When people do make that guess, they seem to enjoy demonstrating their knowledge of the subject, including that it exists, sometimes even explaining to others. So in this case I referred to them obliquely in case you wanted to show off any knowledge you might have on the matter.

Occasionally people have nicknamed me “bee” but I don’t think anyone has ever called me a “toy bee” before. Sometimes people decide my real name must be “Tony,” but it is not.

If your car’s headlights are visible from a plane, some adjustment is almost certainly going to be required.

My wife has done this for my ears when they have become clogged. I’m grateful for her efforts, but when it’s been bad enough to justify the action, it’s never helped.

I shall never forget it!

Also in Home Depot, at least the one near where I used to live, the tools aisle has one camera in each bay. If you lingered near a bay, the screen attached to the camera would activate itself and show the camera’s view of you as well as loudly sounding an alert every thirty seconds or so to remind you that it could see you.

It made me actively avoid buying tools there.

That’s just mean.
