I used to have a local Subway that would, consistently, run out of bread at least 3 hours before closing time because the manager believed that preparing extra bread would be a waste of resources. This meant that they had subs on offer all day, until diner time came around. Then they could offer you a salad or maybe, if you're "lucky," a piece of terrible flatbread.

Somehow, this place is still in business.

This one would probably work at least a little because it'd give the vents more room to blow the air instead of just being on a flat surface; but at the same time, if your laptop is blistering hot to the point where you need an egg carton to vent the air and cool it down, you probably should stop playing crysis 3 at max settings on your old Windows XP Sony Vaio.

A lot of my mates have somehow ruined the cooling on their laptops so they constantly overheat for not much reason. But you can go to most cheapo stores and get a cheap plastic laptop stand that has a fan and you plug in the USB port so :shrug:

Mine got clogged with cat hair and overheated. Since I actually cleaned it, I haven't even come close to overheating my lovely dell laptop, even if I leave it on my bed or lap or wherever. I guess owning 2 screwdrivers and a plastic bag for all the tiny screws is too much hardware, and it's better to go and buy a USB fan when the real problem is the heat exchanger....

Seriously, though, SIX olive slices. Like tiny little "O" shaped slices of a black olive. Six of them. On a whole longass sandwich. Why even bother?


One time I went to the Olive Garden and asked for extra olives in my salad, and they waitress said, with no trace of irony, shame, or apology, "we're actually out of olives". At the Olive Garden. Now, I realize it's not an actual garden and the olives come from somewhere else, but if I'm the manager of a restaurant, and there is a specific type of food in the very name of that restaurant, and it looks like we're about to run out, maybe I'd send someone to the loving store.

Can you imagine going to a restaurant with the word "Steak" or "pizza" in it's name, being shown to a table, getting your drink order, and only then being told that the titular food is not available. It's bait and switch I tells ya!


Lifehack: Olive Garden sucks poo poo anyway. You can almost certainly get better Italian food for less money right up the street.

My girlfriend worked at the olive garden when she was in college. Once, during a snow storm, they didn't get a scheduled delivery and ran out of a number of things, including olives. Someone asked for extra olives and she told them they were all out, and the person started crying. Was it you?

Not always. I've had a couple of laptops that were a dream to get at the fan and clean them, and others where almost everything else (including the main board) have to come out first.

Compressed air works though.

Yeah, some are a pain in the rear end to clean out, but even just a quick dusting in the vents with compressed air is usually enough. I like working on different laptops, so far the easiest (surprisingly) have been Dell Latitude/Inspiron series and Lenovo Thinkpads, they're cake to get into and clean pretty thoroughly. Anything else, especially Sony, HP, and to an extent Asus, are a pain in the dick to disassemble.
