My family uses "I'm sufficiently suffonsified!", but I've never heard anyone else use it. Super curious where it came from.

Getting up at 4am every day is a good start. I do this too, and there's no discipline involved in going to bed - I just get very sleepy around 8 or 9 and want to go to bed.

It's important to recognize this tendency in everyone. When I have the instinct to say something like that, I switch gears and recognize that I'm not helping - I'm actively asking them to stop working on the problem and get m

That number of 3.5 gallons per year is in terms of pure ethanol. 3.5 gallons of ethanol weighs 10,500 grams, which at 14 grams per standard drink is 750 drinks per year, or 2 drinks per day on average. That's quite a lot.

I generally restart only when necessary for updates and multiple months of uptime is pretty standard for me.

WizTree is better and far faster than WinDirStat (think seconds instead of minutes to scan your whole system).

I memorized the first 100 on a bet in high school and it took me a few days at most. I can still rattle them off perfectly, 20 years later. Not really in the spirit of the assignment though.

This is possible, not illegal, and can be simplified even further. It's entirely possible for me to borrow a share from you, (short) sell it back to you, and then for us to repeat that process an unlimited number of times, thereby shor
