  Ahh Medium. The Pinterest of articles.

  I think the entire community would appreciate articles posted in an accessible manner.

  My wife got prescribed Ambien a few weeks ago. She took one, completely forgot about it, and 45 minutes later had a glass of wine with me while watching Taskmaster.

  She then became convinced that she was actually on the show and went around the house asking me to time her doing random stuff. Th next morning she had zero memory and was floored when I showed her the video.

  In my CRV I’ll often initiate attack plan omega.

  Don’t lump them in with us! I’m a proud member of the Satanic Temple, and I wouldn’t touch PHP on my most hedonistic night.

  There’s the Devil, and there’s the Devil.

  I’m okay with this.

  I just got a 5 figure check for two weeks of work reverse engineering proprietary protocols for a super high end centrifuge.

  Geeze, scientists! How hard is it to rip apart the hardware, hook up a JTAG debugger, attach an oscilloscope to various PCB traces, capture the data (praying to Linus that it’s a switched protocol), find what might be some documentation from a sketchy Slavic website, call an ex who speaks Russian and have them translate, then reimplement the drivers in a modern operating system with modern realtime kernel modules.

  It ain’t bathysphere rocket surgery!

  Bonus for Librewolf!

  I love Firefox… But the listicle ads are seriously tacky and annoying. I do not want Pocket. And I do not want Pocket randomly re-enabled after a set of updates.

  Except that you are literally saying that Chrome/Firefox doesn’t have the ability to stream HD when, in fact, they are. It’s just the shitty antics of one of the sleaziest companies in existence.

  I’ll b reporting this to Ambassador Porthos! You can expect some urination on anything sacred you own.

  Hell. Doohan invented the Klingon language for TMP.
