It's funny because Spanish is my native language and I rarely use the _eñe_ (for us is a whole different letter, not just n+tilde, although is basically the palatalized n.

Man, fuck 2020. I picked up 2 bottles of Champagne for the wife and I before I decided it was a 3 bottle kind of year. It's 5:30 and we're one bottle in so clearly the right decision. Here's to 2021 being a lot better for everyone!

Such an HN comment... You found an accurate way to look at something negatively.

Happy New Year! If you're in the United States, don't forget that today is the last day to make your tax deductible donations to charity for 2020! Here are some of my favorite tech related charities that I donate to: https://supporters.eff.org/donate/year-end-challenge--LDEF https://www.python.org/psf/donations/ https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/donate/

I lost all respect for the EFF after they supported the USA FREEDOM Act reauthorization of PATRIOT surveillance.

Szczęśliwego nowego roku! A round of applause for 'dang for keeping this place in order. And another for all of you here, contributing things that gratify intellectual curiosity and maintaining a level of discourse that's atypically high for Internet communities. For me, HN was an important part of keeping sane in this disaster of a year. Let's hope the next one will be boring.

dang is amazing Happy new year :P

And remember tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life, go live it! ;)
