Supposedly train tracks are 4 feet, 8.5 inches apart, as a hand-me-down from Brit expats echoing "all roads lead to" Rome, whose legions ran on wagons and two horses side by side.

I guess what I'm saying is whoever set this serial interface to 74880bps was a real horse's ass.

World of Warcraft rest bonus was made to encourage breaks, half XP gained after a few hours. Players hated, so they made everything take 2x as much XP to achieve but you start at 200% XP and gradually back to 100%. Same thing & players are happy https://t.co/cE4OdgfgKW

@SwiftOnSecurity I worked for a DSL provider who shipped out cheap NICs to many, many customers with an all zero MAC address.

It was problematic.

Today I hope this serves as motivation to those #codenewbies/ #100DaysOfCode devotees that it can happen.

A wild story: A painter from #Taiwan found out his works were printed on stationaries sold on Taobao. So what did he do? Instead of fighting with the Chinese manufacturer, he reported himself as pro Taiwan independence, and the products were immediately taken off Taobao.

I... I just discovered the Snipping Tool today.

I've been Print Screening and popping things into Paint in the year of our lord 2018, when I could be in 3018 with the Snipping Tool.

Self driving car fanboys: we need to remove humans from driving to save lives
Me: ok, let's start with the easy stuff. Like...
*Location-based speed limiters on all cars, to never exceed local speed limits
*Slowing cars to 0-3 mph at stop signs
Them: *crickets*
