I heartily approve of the precedent the government is setting in ignoring court rulings that we don't like.

I'm not particularly keen on the amount of tax I pay. So I'm thinking that if I pay less tax, and I end up with a court ruling telling me to pay more tax, I'll just ignore it.

TIL there is a non-zero “legal limit” for cocaine while driving. 😳

Perl: There's more than one way to do it
Python: There are 37,234,108 ways to do it, and all of them are inefficient as fuck, except that one way which you can only find out about if you sacrifice your self-respect and five pints of your own blood on the altar of StackOverflow, if you're not first flamed to hell for asking an inappropriate question.

I am convinced that any academic post with “in residence” in the title is contractually obliged to reply-all to each and every mundane department-wide email to the effect of “I’m sorry I’m too important/busy to attend $EVENT”.

A 20-year-old woman was driving to a friend's house, and she accidentally turned into the wrong driveway. While she was turning around to leave, the homeowner shot her to death.
