Handy Haversack: I'd like Thanksgiving a lot more if it weren't so meat-centric in the wider culture. That gets awfully oppressive. And, you know, the whole "let's celebrate killing people for their land" aspect of it. But I like that we have a holiday that isn't religious and where you have time to cook and eat stuff you don't regularly get to.

But Marathon, Hellraiser, and SWAGVENT are the only holidays worth keeping. We should get rid of the others before they do more harm!

At some point in the 60s, lines at the registers had become a problem, with the cashiers banging out the prices for every single item on cash registers, so the heads of the various supermarkets got together with the CEOs of grocery suppliers, and came up with UPC codes. Problem, solution, voila! ♥ 6:16pm

joe_rosevear: OK, I'm a few days late, but I'm thankful for Linux, especially Slackware Linux. It has been a real pleasure using it for computing and writing shell scripts.

And I'm thankful for the Internet, especially duckduckgo.com and pi.ai. Both of these have brought much awesome improvement to my skills and abilities.
