Darn Tough makes my favorite sock and include a lifetime warranty. I have one of almost every style. They’re great for everyday use and extreme uses, dry quickly, and have all the other advanced features of almost every other sock, so buy a few pairs and never buy socks again.

You could license the marks and code and call it “Java.” You could license the marks and write your own implementation and call it “Java.” You could not…

Christ, I hope I live to see the day when we unfuck the broadband system in this country. When people recognize that broadband at this point should be a UTILITY handled at the municipal level, we will be a whole lot better off. Comcast might be the worst corporation in the US.
