- huevosabio 9mo agoYes, this article was one of the best articles in the last few years. And to this day I think about it. It has that property of good writing that lingers with you way after you read it. Can't wait to read the book!

Since he never got around to organizing his stowage, he had to ransack everywhere to find things.” This hits close to home… I don’t think I should be a sailor.
- Noumenon72 9mo agoI want to inform readers that the article is about three people. There's no transition when they start talking about the second one, and I didn't remember the names, so I didn't figure it out till the end of the article and missed all the contrasts.
