There’s a joke about ASP.NET and browser cookies here but I’m too lazy to make it.

Old?!?! I'll have you know I just did some maintenance work on an ASP.NET 4.0 app a couple weeks ago. ☹️

I have mine working as ballast in the bottom of a bookshelf to keep it from vibrating too hard when the 3D printer on top of it is running

I've used mine to prop up monitors but lately they just sit on my shelf. Books that serve no purpose end up in the garbage simply because I don't have room for them.

Looking nice on my shelf. The internet is a greater tool than any book.

I use them as mousepad! Sometimes.

I always wondered where my programming books came from. I’ve got probably 20 or so but don’t remember ever buying them. Can’t say that I’ve read them as I typically just use an e reader. They seem to just appear throughout my history as ways to shame me about not fully reading the docs. Like rabbits, always reproducing but sitting on shelves staring at me and silently judging, taunting.

Oh, uhm, ehem. I use "The Dragon Book" as a laptop stand :'D The one with the red dragon.

Anal dildo mount. You need something weighty for that.
