A piece of the answer to why waiting times for internet support by telephone are so fucking long. Followed by “Now, I’ll help you, but only if you can explain superconduction in less that 50 words.”

Bundled in for-real fucking twine.

For my money, best comment of the week.

Some academics finish their academic year at the end of June, just in time to write grants, do some research, go to conferences, deal with grad students, all while dealing with kids on summer holiday. Yay.

I am on this site and I offer that commenter ONE HUNDRED MILLION POINTS.

See, I wasn’t able to understand if you think that people should read the book so they know what they’re talking about. Can you help me out here?

But pretty good. Doesn’t mean it has to be done again, but hey, the Bourne trilogy was a good movie.

I like Matt Damon, but seriously, didn’t he already play this role in that movie where Anne Hathway played the child of Elizabeth Bennett and Brainy Smurf?

I think it’s a great comment. People have different funny bones, imagine!

Brilliant!

This is Thoreau-level shit.

I choose to see this as yet another WG action against silly received opinions. Parents explain to kids that farting is natural, and then when they’re adults, they’re supposed to revert to some sort of shame. WG is a freedom fighter, marching us to the promised land, one stank step at a time.

Many people seem to care about the private lives of people they don’t know.

I’m on board with this ranking.

This is a very radical take on things, to say that people’s are opinions are in fact opinions.

If that’s your standard, most children fail it. What would that entail?
