A: Did Ray Bradbury ever claim that "Fahrenheit 451" was not about censorship?

DavePhD Did Ray Bradbury ever claim that his book [Fahrenheit 451] was not about censorship? Yes, absolutely, you can listen to him explain it in his own words (Bradbury on Censorship/Television) on his website. Transcript: I wasn't worried about freedom, I was worried about people being turned ...

Q: Geometry and Algebra, Algebraic Geometry Question

grugyCan we compare geometry and algebra? Which is harder? Which should I take? Are we comparing geometry and algebra already? If so, what do I need to know?

I think that might be the first time I've ever seen it closed for four reasons
00:40
I've seen all 5 before on SO.
I was the fifth, of course.
I think it may have been proposed before, there should really be a secret hat next bash for asking a question that is closed for all 5 reasons.

@Roombatron5000 Now that you reached #1 in downvotes on SO, what's next? Catching up gnat for network-wide lead?
Damn repwhores always getting downvoted...
@Yes I really have not thought about what's next. I just try to go day by UTC day using the votes I have fall where they may.

haha
@SmokeDetector You were so close.
It's great the bluefeet is becoming CM, but not so great for the mod flag queue. She handles tons of flags from what I've heard, maybe the best ever at handling them. So now that the andrewbarber?, thelizardwhosenameisbill?, and that animusonguy? are all not mods, and we only got 3 new mods, and now with bluefeet getting re-assigned/promoted, there is going to be a major traffic jam in mod flag queue... right?
@Roombatron5000 They needed two mods to share Bill's quota...
01:12
@Roombatron5000 Alexis King for mod!
@Roombatron5000 I believe that they will be adding on another mod, probably the 4th place person in the mod race
...hahaha who am I kidding, I'll never get elected at this rate.
I haven't been in the review queues at all lately.
Maybe @Martijin just handles them so quickly they realized they didn't actually need bluefeet as a mod anymore and could finally promote her.
user259867
#4 would be Raghav Sood, by a very narrow margin over Matt.
user259867
Of course, there is this revision summary...
@Yes Hah

@AlexisKing Martijn is pretty good, I believe.

very exciting
@Yes mm.... why were people trying to close it?
and exactly the same day it was announced...
@Braiam Some people decided to VTC it as a dupe of last years.
@Yes I just re-ran the ballot with 4 seats -- it would end up being Matt, actually.

if you consistently buy snacks at a faster rate than you eat them, there is no organization tactic that will keep the snacks from eventually spilling out of your house.

Nice to see that you are editing some questions, but please also fix all other problems with the questions while you are editing.

Also, in some cases, your tag changes do not seem to be very useful, so make sure your edits are actually relevant and necessary. — JonasCz 3 mins ago

Q: How can I remove ants from my laptop keyboard?

UnihedronThere are ants in my laptop keyboard again. It's happened before and ended up killing my productivity occasionally as the little critters suddenly show up from within the gaps of the keyboard. I had to bring it over to my uncle and he got rid of the ants, somehow, but I forgot to ask how he did i...

Really hope I get an answer :(
YOU GET MY UPVOTE
Vacuum cleaner, or duct tape
Strong coffee. Not that it removes the ants, but you'll be so hyped you won't care about them - or even will actively hunt them down with your fingers.
@AndrewT. Vacuum cleaning a keyboard for ants? I'm going to scream when I have to clean the trash bag...
You are squishier than the ants...
08:51
There are so many ants, then? I thought only 1 or 2
It reminds me I was laughing at the following Wikipedia section a while back, considering it's probably one of the less common failure modes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronics#Degradation
@Unihedron what laptop do you have? You should be able to disassemble it to a point where it's easy to clean.
Raspberry Crazy ants..? Raspberry Pi?
@Bart ASUS-ul20ft. Also, I've tried reassembling three laptops, none of them ever worked since, so I'm not trying again.

added information
@James bwahahahahaha
it's your predestined fate to wait
Just realized it's a laptop, not desktop keyboard. That makes the issue harder...
Yeah I know
I'm totally the kind of person who would throw away a totally functional keyboard just because it has ants.
:S
Sometimes there are 1 or 2 on my laptop too (in addition of some on the desks), but they were gone on random basis... are there any ants other than inside the keyboard?
How can I inspect that?
08:59
cough disassemble cough
But is there anything in there that attracts them? Did you spill something?
