As a bandcamp flac lover, I concur. I've spent so much supporting small artists it's actually insane. I make two copies after I download an album: one to giant memory stick which I can plug into entertainment systems and such, one to the microsd in my phone. I currently have 1TB microsd in my phone for this reason, but I can see it possibly running out one day :D
It's commonly cited that sci fi author Gene Wolfe is one of four people credited with development of the machine that makes Pringles. Primary source interview, via archive.org
As a former slackware aficionado, I'd have to say that the general mood of the users and development team was super chill. Hell, the name slackware comes from "slack", the goal of the Church of the SubGenius. The whole thing is a meme that's been going steady for decades.
I had the privilege of meeting Patrick and much of the core Slackware group at the KDE 4.0 release party. They are all awesome.
I can expect that users that tolerate the Slackware style are also those that are pretty laid back to begin with. Probably they were happier people already, and using slackware just vibes with them.
Salt mines are so awesome. They're usually room and pillar, so they're the closest we get to the Mines of Moria. Plus they are almost always bright white inside, unlike most metal mines.
