@Shrigglepuss I've literally never had a work computer that was as quick and responsive as the 300 MHz blue and white Mac G3 desktop I got in about 1998. From pressing the power button to doing my first productive task, there's just no contest.

@botvolution that's gotta be it

I recently read an article (which was interesting and I learned stuff and all) where they were talking about commodity prices per metric tonne, using the abbreviation "mt".

And just. Guh! An abbreviated metric unit (which the tonne really isn't, the whole point of a metric system is we should be calling it a megagram, but anyway), that starts with a lowercase m. We know what that means, it should be 1/1000 of whatever a t is.

@felix @aredridel @voltagex @az The father of a friend of mine in high school was an ornithologist. I remember watching Robin Hood Prince of Thieves at their house, and his dad couldn't bear to watch any more when they used North American bird song as background sounds in Sherwood forest.

Where I live is probably something to do with it, and I'm sure white male privilege is a non-trivial part too, but I've been fortunate so far that nobody's hassled me for wearing a mask.

I can tell myself I'd have all kinds of clever responses if someone did, but I have no idea how I'd react in reality.
