This is what we call our “walk your dogs” price.

This is what I thought the article was about until I read it. To me a fuck off price is the price I give someone when they want me to do something over the top that I don’t want to do. If they are willing to pay me considerably more for it than usual then I will do it. Otherwise fuck off.

Seriously? I work in recruiting - most of us make well over 70 phone calls a day. You actually think that we are plugging every candidate into Google Maps to check their commute time? That's insane. No one does this.

Yeah, dishonesty works so very well, especially with people you've barely met yet.

Dear high-and-mighty "don't drink so much" people,

Actually, why go out at all? Just stay inside and go to bed by 9pm on New Years Eve. No sense in starting every new year absolutely exhausted.

The title is a bit misleading. Maybe change to something like "customize your backlit keyboard's backlighting." I assumed this was going to describe how to add backlighting to a non-backlit keyboard.
