I am not sure I believe this.
But I noticed I braked hard, and turned sharply into the other lane upon reading it.
I will call it a coincidence, although the biker is calling it something else indeed!

You have to be really brave when you take a bus in Rome.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

You have to be even braver to take a night bus in London, but that's due to the inhabitants!

Then we better never drive in the same place at the same time. The Ninjutsu would be split up between us, already dragging both of us half way down to the level of the other ashigaru[^].

The road is one big chaos system. The longer it displays a reliable pattern the more likely that the very next moment it will go completely pear shaped. I've gotten in the habit of working from home the first snowfall of the winter every year. It's like freaking clock work. We have decent* enough roads 7-9 months and then the day that snow falls every moron and their dead grandmothers decide that the best way to drive on snow and ice, is to go as fast as they can so they spend as little time on it as possible**!
*By "decent" I mean the majority of them are paved, potholes aren't quite big enough to swallow a horse, and they haven't been condemned. They are however rated "poor" by the road committee.
**I guess this isn't an entirely inaccurate thought process. If they slide off the road into the ditch, they are no longer technically on said road.

As if this event was a total surprise, but then they are also absolutely surprised when that funny light changes from red to green.

That's why we don't have to worry about the 8,327 clones they made of Hitler.
One alone managed to conquer most of Europe and start a world war; the 8,327 can't even decide which tiles to play in Scrabble.

Why do you think his moustache was so meticulously cropped and shaped the way it was?
Ninja magic, Man!
Rubbing it in particular directions and with particular cadence with the left-hand's thumb and forefinger caused Terrible Things to happen!

"Nobody drives around here. There's too much traffic."
I'm sure somebody will correct me on the exact quote and provide its source.

Once traffic reaches a critical density, the cumulative effect of gentle braking rushes back over drivers like a wave and leads to a standstill. It's a chain reaction similar to the push and pull of an accordion or Slinky, or the traffic-wave effect.

The same reason that the "good guys" in TV shows are crack shots and the "bad guys" can't hit the broad side of a barn?

I, too, have observed this effect with cars - and with everything else people do. It's fear, you see: crippling, stupefying fear: and let's face it: it doesn't take much to stupefy most people. They're paralyzed by it: it occupies so much of their mind that they literally have no processing power left over to use for anything useful or constructive. It makes them stop moving in the middle of the road, or drive into other cars, or vote for Donald Trump, or void their colons into their trousers (also an option after performing any of the above).

Emergency room rush after a shiny top is nonsense (10)

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

The only way to guarantee people not solving one quickly is to write what you think is the easiest clue in the world because you're not going to be around the next day. This has worked for me on many occasions.
The ones that I think are really fiendish tend to get solved in a matter of minutes.

Window Server R 2000
We have several servers with a singular purpose of running a display application. No one depends on them but the developers and the analysts during mission time. I like to turn them off when not in use and over the weekend. Others say servers are designed to be run 24/7. That statement can be re-worded to: Servers are not designed to be turned off.
I do not agree with that.
I suspect that all computers are designed to run 24/7. Would you design one that can only be run 8 hours before being turned off? So how might a server, or any computer, be designed differently to run 24/7? Or designed to not be turned off?
By turning it off we save power running the server, we reduce the total amount of dust and air borne debris moved through the server by the fans, we reduce the run time drives by 2/3 or more, and we save the money that would be spend removing the heat from the room.
On the negative side, you gotta push the button and do something else for a few minutes before it is ready.
I have had PCs since about 1983, turned them off every night, and never had a failure, drive or component.
So, Please, what is your opinion? Please reference any supporting information.
Thank you for your time
