Mine is now at customs. Wondering how fucked it’s going to arrive. But I guess I like pain. The 104-key model F I’ve got has a dead spring in numpad delete, and I can’t carve out enough time to disassemble and fix it. Mind you, I did disass

You see, I believe that cars with enough mileage have a soul. My car definitely has grown a soul. Yours might be a rust bucket for all I care. And yet it has a soul of its own. Programs also have souls. Especially the little well-crafted pr

Sometimes I’m wondering what to call people who get offended on behalf of other people or entities that they imagine might be offended by some term or other. See, they feel bad, and like small children, they assume everyone else must

Feels like what one of those morbidly obese people riding electric scooters would write about not missing walking one bit. God forbid they end up in an area where accessible alternatives to stairs are not a thing.

Make a law that fines coal rollers heavily, gets their car seized, their driver’s license revoked for life — all for the first offense. Give cops bonuses for the most coal rollers caught, allow them to power trip as much as they like, and I
