Grew up in PA. Went to undergrad at Penn State. Left PA in 2003. Half my family lives there. I visit multiple times a year. I am sometimes surprised to see Waffle Houses in PA these days. Like, huh, when did that happen?

Less is more. C'mon, we're all dying here. Finishing is a skill (per Derek Yu). All measuring devices have noise. Symmetry and continuity impart incredibly strong constraints on systems. A dollar isn't worth a dollar to every
