It's a three ton steel knife that does zero to sixty in three seconds, it's literally designed to shred human bodies.

Mariah just wants walkable cities and reliable public transportation. I can get behind that.

Does that mean you love me?

Do you think you could ever love me?

I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who's-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn't just good activism, it's good for your health, too.

More old trivia is that the original OK Cupid system was written in C, including the actual web server that served the pages. They wrote it in C so that the matching thing could run real-time, which is super impressive, even if writing your own web server is actually pretty dumb.

I loved the days when people just wanted to make fun, useful, quirky stuff on the internet and not just peddle thirst traps and Chinese merchandise.

No, you really can't.

I mean, in fairness, "vegetable" isn't a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.

But they're a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!

Bram obviously gave so much to the global community, and directly to Uganda through his persistent charity efforts, and no more need be said about what a devoted and generous person he was. We'd all truly be worse off without his contributions and I say that as a devout Emacs user.

Still, it always rubbed me wrong that his stated plan for the project was immortality.

How can the community ensure that the Vim project succeeds for the foreseeable future?

Keep me alive.
