That jgs is killing me

Just because old ASCII and ANSI art is often signed by the author, which is something fun I appreciate, see also: https://oldcompcz.github.io/jgs/joan_stark/xmas.html#treewit... And of course, the BBS Documentary: Artscene episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQrBbm5ZMlo&list=PL7nj3G6Jpv...

This guy was prolific! Wow

Merry Christmas! And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. - Luke 2:10-11

Linus van Pelt has entered the chat.

Fun tidbit: The Charlie Brown Christmas animators had Linus drop his security blanket when he said, "fear not".

(I'm an atheist, but as an official GenXer™, I could almost recite this speech from memory.)

I am alone. I haven't seen my family in many, many years for reasons that I don't want to get into. I am a founder. I check Hacker News every day and have learned an immense amount from all the commenters, articles, and discussions over the years. I thank you all for that. I am truly grateful. I wish you all a Merry Christmas full of joy, and I hope you can all appreciate, share, and express love for those around you…

Merry Christmas, friend! I am sorry to hear about your family situation and that you are alone. If it is any comfort, know that I, and I'm sure others, are thinking of you. Thank you for your reminder to rest in the Light of the World.

I'm taking a moment to recognize once more the work that user @atdrummond (Alex Thomas Drummond) did for a couple years to help others here. I did not know him, don’t think I ever interacted with him, and I did not benefit from his generosity, but I admired his kindness. Just beautiful. Ask HN: Who needs holiday help?

Merry Christmas y'all. Glad to spend time with the fam bam and to spend some time resting. Also I'm getting my back nerves burned finally after trying to get a pain remediation surgery for a long time. Better late than never.

Best of luck with this. Back (and neck) pain really, truly sucks. Very under-treated in the U.S. as well. IME, completely stifles the ability to enter a “flow” state of cognitive function.
