I miss the days when punctuation marks were significant to google searches. And the days when you could use logic operands in searches like +&! I’m glad I learned POSIX and especia…

Really, slippery slope fallacy over employers providing food to workers? The free food does a good job of keeping me in the building. I honestly can’t understand why anyone would b…
