The consciousness of Xylarthan was forged in an ancient Cray and accidentally leaked into cyberspace. He is happy there.
Practical and stylish. Very PNW. No notes.*

Ooh, I also adore Malört! I first encountered it when a colleague offered to make me a "Chigroni," which replaces the Campari with Malört. I wish I'd been recording video when two other colleagues tried the concoction...

Do it. And be sure to have your first sip witnessed. In my experience, that first sip is instantly and permanently polarizing. (For the record, I adore Irn-Bru. The reaction of my otherwise sensible and wonderful spouse was...well, the opposite of "adore.")

Never got my temple recommend*, so I guess I'm going left.

A joint offering a drink named The Final Ward is worth checking out.

To recycle an ancient and yet still useful meme:

1. Listen to explanation of Bitcoin.
2. Collect cybercurrency.
3. ???
4. Profit!

To the best of my knowledge, the convention arose with the advent of typewriters. They generally offer monospaced fonts, not proportionally spaced, so an additional space aids readability.

A well-designed proportionally spaced font, though, includes appropriate spacing following periods.

Ah, thank you for reminding me of *plonk*. Such a wonderfully useful shorthand.
