I mean, I knew what I was talking into, but still. Interesting story, wish it had a better ending.

The lead is sealed inside the plug that contains the vacuum. I guess it’s “industry standard” or something. Heard from the horse’s mouth.

Set a schedule for yourselves if you like, I don’t miss that at all.

Exactly. Can’t even really experience it by googling. Had to be there.

Parents, talk to your kids about saxophones. That, and cheating on video games, are the most important subjects to cover.

Steam is a private company and being run by a decent human. Didn’t have to be both.

And buy them their own copies of online games.

Or, like, me sharing single player games with my buddies. But you do you.

Signed zero is hiding under your bed.

Ha! Then it’s trapped! I have one of those fancy beds with drawers in it.

Wait… That means it’s going to pop out of my drawers…

Anyone want a bed?

They must pay the long price, I guess.

So, like, “holiday travel season”? Must be pretty significant if it’s newsworthy

(can’t answer, because she was fucking electrocuted)

My friends came and threw me an “It’s a girl!” party. Friends are great.

I mean it’s probably labeled, right? How hard could it be?

But then otherwise we would have a year +0 and a year -0. You really want that on your conscience?

Someone once asked (I think) Ruth Bader Ginsburg how many women had to be on the SCOTUS in order for it to not be biased towards men. Her answer was “All nine of them. After all, it’s been all nine men before and no one thought that was special”

I am, of course, quite heavily paraphrasing.

I mean it’s all pretty generic. Would pretty much apply to helping someone with any task, with a few exceptions.

The trick to make this stop is to be an expensive text-to-speech engine.

Well, it’s just how math and numbers in English work.

Cardinal numbers, the number of things you have, start with zero because you can have none of something (or less with negatives, but that’s neither here nor there).

Original numbers, Numbers that show which things were in what order (first, second, etc) start at one, because you can’t really have a zeroth something because then it would really be the first one.

So year 1 is 1 because it’s the first year, and it starts the first century. It would have been entirely possible for English to make the names a little nicer, but given that it isn’t, the math means the first set of one hundred years are the years before the one-hundredth year and cetera.
