I especially like that most of the commit messages for this site keep with the quine theme (sorta) and are just "git commit . -m" https://github.com/secretGeek/html_wysiwyg/commits/master

Simpler? Definitely not. Interest rates are controlled by the Federal Reserve, which is an independent entity that can change interest rates without needing any kind of approval from the federal government. It's very simple for them to

Honestly, it's articles like this that lead me to be so stingy with my attention. I wanted to close the tab a third of the way into the article not because I'm incapable of paying attention, but because the article was wasting my

"IMCP" looks to be a typo. Normally wouldn't bother to mention, but, you know, CVs
