Counterpoint from Douglas Adams:

The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them. To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.

I am 100% in favor of Jon Stewart for president, especially if he refuses to run.

The comments will stop once the files have been released.

Where are they getting batteries for $115/kWh? Going market rate for LiFePO3 LiFePO4 seems to be at least 10 times that.

Who could have predicted that hanging ten conflicting kernel-level anti-cheat installations might cause compatibility problems?

Yes, they were organic dyes. At the time, those were the only kind. Maybe it’s gotten better over the years.

This is terrible advice. Most writable DVDs degrade quickly, even if they’re stored away from sunlight and heat. Every single one of my burned DVDs from more than a few years back is completely unreadable.

Update: I missed the very important line about M-DISC. This is critical. I can’t vouch for M-DISC personally, but most other optical media is garbage for archival purposes.

In this case, I knew it because of a “botanicals” set that I assembled recently.

Those sets use a lot of pieces in creative ways, often in unusual colors. In particularly obscure cases, like this crown or the rose petals that were originally from a car fender, the manual will include a brief trivia callout.

I remembered the callout, and that was enough to find it by keyword on the fan database sites.

Ah yes, the 39262 minifigure crown, also used as a flower.

Thanks I hate it. Nope nope nope.

Perjury like that is not an “error”, it’s a crime.
