It's illegal as hell, but employers are so desperate to keep every penny they do it anyway. Employers can't legally get a free hour of work out of you just because your workplace changed from one time zone to another.

I can’t believe it never even occurred to me that some employers would try to use a DST change to get a free hour of labour out of their employees. reddit.com/r/legaladvice/comme

Ctrl-B :set repeat-time 1 # If you use tmux and find it annoying how it waits 1 sec for you to press an arrow again after the first time, you can reduce the repeat-time variable. This way arrow-up/down after switching panes immediately gets passed into the program (ie. less)

Trivia: In the arcade version of Berzerk, if you leave a maze while any robots are left, the game taunts you with, "Chicken! Fight like a robot!" Do that enough times, & the game randomly replaces "intruder" & "humanoid" with "chicken" during a maze.

Before we get all 'The Sky is Falling' with Alt-Right knuckleheads migrating to specific instances that cater to them, remember:

1. The block feature actually works here and should be used liberally if you see bad faith arguers or worse.

2. Instance-level personal blocks can be executed on the web client by going to the user, opening the additional […] menu and clicking 'Hide all from this instance'.

3. Petition your local moderating team to ban and suspend instances outright. We'll listen!

Walley World now has Arcade 1up cabinets for sale. I want one, but they're a bit expensive, & I don't have a place to put an upright arcade cabinet.

retro handheld games (-?) 

It's a fun little thing, but it's not what I thought I was getting. What got me so upset are the less than authentic collision detection, such as shots passing right between segments of a joined centipede & being killed by a flea without being touched by it, & the fact that poisoned mushrooms aren't restored to normal like partly-shot mushrooms are between lives.

retro handheld games (-?) 

Those "Arcade Classics" mini retro games (about 6" or 15cm) in the toy aisles? I should've known I wouldn't get an authentic arcade-version experience from any of them when I saw the Pac-Man one: fixed-position LED style.

I got Centipede, & all I know is it's almost but definitely *not* the arcade version. (Maybe it's the Atari 7800 version? I only had the 2600.) Yay for retro games being the in thing, but I still feel cheated.

Happy 30th birthday to the Morris Worm, the most famous worm to prove that networked computers can be threatened by insufficiently reasoned noble intent, not just obviously malicious intent.
