I was just told by my SSL cert vendor (which bought my old vendor) that their new prices are so incredibly high because they've had to invest for the coming future of quantum computing to keep me secure.

I'm looking for a new SSL cert vendor. Trying to figure out if we can go with Let's Encrypt.

@malin The "source" for a game is its text, not its markup, because the game is its text, not its physical presentation. I get what you're after, but I think you're confusing the issue by using a common term for software when not all the parallels are there. Your audience already equates OSS licenses and the OGL as fulfilling the same purpose for different mediums. It took me a minute to realize you were focused on markup as a requirement, too.

Why does my dryer have a "low/medium/high" setting if no clothing care label says anything but "tumble dry low"?

I am fairly certain _The Neverending Story_ was inspired by laundry.

@gamehawk That makes a lot of sense. Maybe do that if certain hashtags are present, too.

@art They do a fried egg on a burger where you live? They do that around here and it weirded me out the first time I saw it on a menu.

So what I'm getting from watching multiple Kickstarters involving printing books... you should budget to scrap you entire first print run. You're going to make a mistake, or your printer is going to make a mistake they won't consider worthy of a reprinting, and you're going to have a load of books you aren't willing to ship to backers. I've seen this sink a project, or end with the creator losing money.

We have this weird phenomenon at work. We have a ton of ceramic coffee cups with the company logo. The fancy coffee machine is in the basement kitchen. The largest number of seats are on the 3rd floor. Over time, all the coffee cups migrate to the 3rd floor kitchen shelf. Occasionally I box a bunch up and take them back to the basement. But I don't drink coffee.

37 minutes stuck in an elevator. Not as bad as I expected.

Been stuck in the work elevator for half an hour. Boss set off the fire alarm trying to reset it. I'll be deaf when I get out.

I wonder if tech recruiters would have more success if they realized how many of their potential recruits don't like phones and would rather do the initial, "Is this interesting to me?" via email or chat.

A little something @vampyric did for me...

@silverseams HP still means Hewlett Packard to me.

@fribbledom I have been known to make purchases just to relieve the stress of indecision.

@prosperyne Federated timelines can be a firehose. I don't even read the local server timeline on two of the three servers I have accounts on.
