There are also the sorts of teachers I hated having as a teenager, but am deeply grateful in terms of what they taught us, after all. Many of those were pretty much universally disliked often mainly due to the amount of work we'd have

On the other hand coffee is addictive, but I have yet so see someone go down the drain mentally for drinking coffee all the time. Sure, not a lot of pot users do, but there's the minority that seems to spend 80% of their free time smok

Ehhh, the creator also works on a minimalist Linux distro (Oasis) and one of their goals is to build with cproc (a C frontend for the QBE backend), all written in ISO C. He uses Samurai in his distro, so it all fits together pretty well
