Minäkin teen nyt poikkeuksen, ja kommentoin poliittista sisältöä sosiaalisessa mediassa tiedustelemalla, että edustaako tämä juuri sitä puoluetason irtautumista rasismista, jota @sfprkp on kovasti viime päivinä toivonut? Yst. terv. nimim. ”Epätietoinen kansalainen”

If you know what this is: SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 ... it might be a good time to start taking daily supplements and consider a check-up at the doctor.

No mom it's not a "messy pile of clothes on my chair" it's an L1 cache for fast random access to my frequently used clothes in O(1) time. It needs to be big to avoid expensive cache misses (looking in my closet). I NEED to be minimizing latency, this is important to me. Please.

Overheard a university student say “Arctic Monkeys were my dad’s favourite band when I was little.” The passage of time is relentless, unfathomable, cruel, and unforgiving.
