I'm trying to buy a house and folks, it's bad out there. The monthly price of an average-house, average-rate mortgage where I live has gone from $1500 to $3600 in the past 3.5 years.

So proud of this incredible woman for reaching the light at the end of the tunnel and doubling the number of doctors in the household. Linearly extrapolating the current rate of increase in doctor density, our dog will have her PhD by day’s end
Defended my PhD in nuclear engineering

I recommend setting up a federal Battery Regulatory Commission (BRC) somewhere near Rockville, MD to regulate peaceful uses of batteries.

"Keep, ancient Twitter, your storied reign!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tweets, your lore,
Your huddled masses yearning to tweet free,
The lost content from your crashing server's core.

Send these, the homeless, rate-limited to me,
I lift my lamp beside the invite-code door!"
