Weird. Mussolini’s greatest achievement was at a gas station.

You are a master gardener with a zest for life and a thick Scottish brogue. Please describe how to create the perfect avian topiary. Be sure to cite sources and include Welsh proverbs when applicable.

Yes, but honestly the ad-free Real Life+ plan is totally worth the extra $49.95/month just to avoid the ads from interrupting when you’re driving, performing root canals or operating a bandsaw.

Why are there still 10s of any users on that hellwash of a platform?

White Castle was — until that movie — largely unknown in many areas of the U.S. So yes, until the scene in which they finally reach White Castle, I held out hope that it would indeed be worth the trip.

The fact that it was, well, just a White Castle made it wholly relatable to anyone who ever had those late-night cravings, though.

SomethingAwful was an amazing moment in Internet history, but it seems everybody involved in its operation ended up in a Greek tragedy of epic proportions. The wreckage is still washing up in the damndest places.

Krita is very, very good indeed. It deserves all the praise it gets.

So why not join the majority party — in this case the GOP — and reshape it again from the inside? We’ve seen the GOP is open to tectonic shifts of change, as long as it’s coming from fellow “Republicans.” Donnie himself was a Democrat before he noticed the door to the GOP was already open wide.

There are far more than 100,000 parents who didn’t sign it.

The problem is the tech is no longer addressing and solving existing problems. It is only being inserted into working systems to collect data and fees, breaking the processes.

It’s a poem by Stephen Crane, but so short I’m often reminded of it in full:

A man said to the universe:

”Sir, I exist!”

“However,” replied the universe,

“The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation.”

It sounds nihilistic, but it’s somehow calming whenever I start to feel like I’ve been wronged or I’m owed a break of some sort.

The internet was well established before the mobile web really took off. It looked different (most of us would say better), but it was already a mature part of everyday life. The dot-com “bubble” around Y2K predates the iPhone by years.

This won’t be the last time, I’m afraid. At the end of the day, software developers build sandcastles.

If you want to build something that will outlast your company, make sure you also have a hobby or craft outside of computing.
