CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@whitequark @krans I was sure the answer was going to be that it got used for an epic white house slumber party

@krans @whitequark I can at least answer the last question. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Helium_Reserve

@mark @fesshole Laces are a tradition that we appear to cling to for...fashion reasons? It makes no sense.

@fesshole My first industry job: I wore a suit to the interview. My interviewer was wearing torn jeans and Birkenstocks. He became my boss. I told people I wore a suit to the interview "what, and they hired you anyway?"

My second industry job had a dress code. The entirety of which was: "You must wear shoes when entering and leaving the building." It was adopted under protest.

GTFO with that 20th century attitude.

@fesshole Counterpoint: Shoelaces are bullshit. I haven't worn shoes with laces for thirty years, and won't buy them.

If you can't evaluate candidates competently, you can't do anything else. Buh-bye.

@thomasfuchs And I never have enough hit points either. Or horizontal pitch for my modular synths.

(and, fortunately, it also missed me)

Apparently I missed a meteorite half an hour ago.
