Read every post on the Lounge every day. Memorize what Nagy ate, Dalek drank, and JSOP drove, or shot. Get all your news, here.
On QA forums post soliloquies and rants; remember the OP never knew what they really wanted, let alone needed.
Works for me.
cheers, Bill

Silly question Bill: This disappeared for a couple of minutes - was that you or did the hamsters eat it?

Hi OG, because I am only in the initial, highly uncertain, phase of becoming a Quantum Developer, I am not at liberty to say which because: whichever I said it was would be what it was; and, I think the world is so much more beautiful seen ambiguously ... do you ?
By the way, my sincere congratulations on your achieving millionaire status: you "paid the iron price" !
yours, Bill

Thank you my friend!
As a Quantum Developer, can you know both how much code you have written and how many bugs it has?

A perfect summary. It's CP's equivalent of the daily generic news:
There's trouble in the Middle East.
In America, the pro gun lobby think everyone who's anti-gun is a communist.
In America, the anti-gun lobby think the NRA is Beelzebub's toe-jam.
The English don't trust the EU
The EU think the British are silly
A former Disney child-star has gone off the rails
Some z-list "celeb" got drunk and did something stupid.

You forgot the *BONG* at the end of each line. And the "On the Lighter Side" item at the end.

Dear god you're not wrong. I accidentally watched the ITV news and was both frightened and angry at world within seconds.
I kept watching out of grim fascination, the transition from death, destruction and disease to something amusing they found on Reddit about kittens was about as smooth as one of the wife's gear-changes when the clutch is bust.

Ham was a thing on the lounge back before bacon was a meme. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I don't remember that. Must have been before I started going to the lounge, or during a period of inactivity.

That should be in reply to Bill's post. Mine's the generic news report of the day. Saves ever buying another newspaper.

Actually, we think they're democrats, which is kinda the same thing.
I'm not "pro-gun", I'm pro-Constitution, which guarantees the natural right to own a weapon that will in turn guarantee I can exercise my other natural rights.

Not much to memorize
Nagy - eats anything just fill in the blank
Dalek - drinks everything just fill in the blank
JSOP - Drive a mustang, but shots everything just fill in the blank.
