How come the revolving door? I'd like to taste a bit of that here in the US, but isn't such frequency societally destabilizing? I am not up on UK election process (I assume elections happened), forgive my ignorance.

You cannot survive without an AC in Florida. Nor in Las Vegas, Dallas, NYC and the boroughs, the list goes on. Doable in Santa Monica or in the Bay perhaps.

Humidity is a larger burden on me than temperature. I can do dry Las Vegas at 100F, but can't stand Miami at 80F and 70% humidity.

For me the thing about Quake was the clans, CTF, LAN parties, QuakeC mods, Quake World. It was the first of its kind, perhaps not technically, but in capturing that zeitgeist. Yeah, there were DukeNukem, Heretic, Raven, UT, but we built our camaraderies around Quake, getting all tacticool with "10-4, RTB, RGR" and hanging out on the clan's IRC :)

Are you talking about the v-z-g-l sequence of harsh consonants? That looks uninviting in print, but in practice it's just a quick puff of air.

This is to say - I am aware of the dangers:) My state doesn’t even have a helmet law for motorcyclists.

It's all pure nostalgia for the times long gone. I get an urge once a year to get a thing from that era, and I do but I don't use it. That 90's Zelda does nothing for me anymore, but TOTK does.

The “Rust” branding, to this rando, implies corrosion, oxidation, decay, regardless of the true origin of the name. Swift is “quick”, Java is “caffeine”, Rust is something I need kerosene for.

I don't feel that's worth it, so I listen to the ads. The problem with ads is that they are on repeat. Leo Raporte's ads are "obnoxious" in their length and breathiness, 5 mins long seemingly each. I don't know what the solution is, because I like his network, but I can't pick just one!
