I have some gear like that, but only because I bought it all cheaply when one of the manufacturers did a warehouse clearance.

Simon Peyton Jones is about as big an expert on programming languages as you can get, and he's on the record as saying Excel is a functional programming language.

I'm surrounded by forestry operations where I live. I can't go anywhere without getting stuck behind a logging truck on winding and often slippery broads. It's amazing how complacent I've become with these things.

Should have been a sack of doorknobs.

Not being familiar with this place, I'm pretty surprised it's a thing. It just seems terribly impolite to comment on purchases. I never would have done it when I had a cashier job. There are plenty of other things you can make conversation about, you should try to pick up on whether they even want the chitchat. Not everyone does.

The image is from the Nausicaa manga? I need to give that a read.

I heard a comedian call these "infinity knives" a few years back, and now it's all I can call them.

Well shit, I just found an approval email from exactly two years ago... and that's not even my oldest account.

I tried a bunch of Fireforks, and found bugs I couldn't live with in all of them - until I tried Floorp. It was last on my list because the name and icon are ugly so I assumed it wouldn't have as much polish as something like Waterfox. Turns out it's got sensible defaults and works very well, with better performance than vanilla Firefox, so I'm happy.

I've been in situations like that, where I was more than happy to pull over and let them pass, but I missed all the safe spots because I couldn't see them while being blinded. I had to drive slower because they made it harder to see ahead on dangerous mountain roads, too. Bloody idiots.

I was going to suggest some other flavours to try while you're at it, but honestly they're all pretty good.

I haven't seen them sell root beer here in Australia, but the sarsaparilla isn't hard to find. I wonder if they just modified that.
