Well, that went in an unexpected direction.

It took me a while to start solving the connections, but now I'm disappointed when it is too easy.

Was it? Didn't know that. It definitely could have been a couple of books shorter, but I love the expansive epicness of the entire wheel of time story.

By long pressing the option the link gets copied to your clipboard.

I just tested with a random link and it's exactly that.

I have a feature request. Harmonic for hackernews has the option to open a url directly on archive.org, which I think is a pretty neat feature. Would it be possible to add this?

Man, I'm the complete opposite. I tend to mix everything. As a kid I would even shape some dishes into a smooth rectangle after first crushing the potatoes and mixing it with the rest.

I suppose that is one of the few upsides of being a fast eater.

We followed a cake recipe once from some US food blog. We learned then that you should only use half or even one quarter of the sugar stated in recipes from Americans and even then it might be sickeningly sweet.

Dictator for a day, every day.

I say it every now and then, but only for normally abled people acting like idiots. Is that an acceptable use?

It's salon, the bar to write for them is almost on the floor. Just make it absurdly obviously left wing. Facts aren't required.

Well, the box was staring at me when I created this account.

The two answers here are pretty bad, so here's my take as a history nerd.

Gaius Julius Caesar was a highly ambitious Roman politician who through very clever political manoeuvering and incredible military success (considered a military genius) forged a path to almost complete power after winning the civil war and beating the opposing senators, spearheaded by Pompey and Cato. After becoming dictator for life, he was assassinated on the ides of March (the 15th) in 44BC by a group of opposing senators, which included his adopted son Brutus (daughter of his long time lover Cornelia). After the assassination Rome again fell into civil war, with Gaius Julius Octavianus eventually becoming the first Roman emperor, now usually known as emperor Augustus.

Caesar was never an emperor, but the word emperor in many languages is directly based on Caesars name. For example: czar in Russian, kaiser in German and keizer in Dutch.

It's actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

You absolutely would, but not on the same terms as before. Those special privileges Thatcher negotiated are gone forever.

I went to check on the valve after reading this comment and apparently it takes hulk strength to move it even a tiny bit. Thanks for making me aware of this. Will get that sorted today.
