It's still the result of robbing the working class, and concentrated wealth like that is bad for everyone (even the billionaires).
Okay, more suggestions:
- for the clusters, Gus and Buster
- for ingress, Ingrid and Igor
- for the nas, Cass
- for your Mac mini, Bach
- for your development server, Jessop (short for Jessop the Desktop)
Just give them ordinary names. Then when someone hears you say something like, "I think Greg is due for a reboot" you'll make their day that much weirder.
I'll sometimes pick ordinary names that are loosely related to the function for memory purposes. ingress01 becomes Ingred, cluster01 becomes Gus (i.e., Gus the Cluster), etc.
And of course, if there's a machine that you expect will give you trouble, you name it Richard.
One day I'll tell my grandkids that the internet used to look more like a library--mostly good information with an easy way to find what you're looking for--instead of the grocery store magazine rack it is today.
I doubt they'll believe me.
If you get tired of it on the table, try using it in the cupboard for spices or other smaller things.
Sorry, had to downvote this one. This is amazing taxidermy.

I don't think it's a bad thing, and I wouldn't call it a "rite of passage."
It seems like our culture has historically put a lot of emphasis on relationships. For example, one of my older friends (Gen X) used to be treated like he was broken or pitiful because he was single into his thirties. There has been a cultural shift toward the acceptability of singleness, which is much healthier in my opinion.
And on an anecdotal level, I think people are smart to wait until they're older. I made a lot of regrettable mistakes in my younger relationships that I would not have made had I waited a bit. Not saying that nobody should have relationships when they're young, but no one should be pressured into it.
For me, this show is kinda like McDonald's ice cream. It's barely able to be called what it's trying to be, and it's not that great, but I'm gonna eat it either way.
"Free" market
Bean!
Also mildly interesting is the difference in the L/R waveforms. Taken from the end of a Danny Go song.

I often find myself remembering the earlier days of the internet fondly and missing all of the random and ridiculous content that used to proliferate it. Then stuff like this comes along and it brings me right back.
Keep being weird, internet.
