The ports should be on the same side of the device. As it is, short cables can't be tested.

It's a New York thing to refer to the rural Northern and Western parts of New York State that are not New York City. No one (or at least very very few) outside of New York State uses it to refer to any other place.

Ahhh, the classic "shoot the messengers" defense.

At least 1Il & 0O are different and (mostly) easily distinguishable in all the variants. Only exception is in the Argon variant 1 and l are too similar IMO.

Landlords pass on higher property taxes to their tenants in the firm of higher rents. You don't need to own property to be affected by high property taxes.

Others have mentioned it already, but I wanted to chime in and say that I've been really liking the Tabasco Sriracha sauce. It's different from "real" Sriracha, more garlicky for one thing (a positive in my book). I don't consider it a replacement, but since it's impossible to find the original where I'm at, I consider it the next best thing.

It's just so fun to say.

A perfectly woody sort of word!

I know! Drives me crazy.

Yeah, it's amazing. Definitely my all time favorite comic series.

Exactly. Amazing how many people seem to forget it is "free as in freedom, not free as in beer".
