It’s one of my favorites, but I’m a big fan of Moist so I’m a little biased

Beautiful fjords. No wonder the parrot was pining for them.

Yep. Has been ever since the Golgafrinchan B Ark crashed here and killed the native population and broke the computer the size of a planet.

Slartibartfast is devastated.

Religious folk loves them a golden calf

My kid spends a lot of time helping their friends do basic computer stuff and we have the same rants about users.

I’m so proud.

Except we’re not dealing with mathematicians. We’re dealing with sysadmins who must read well and quickly to do their job effectively.

They need to comprehend complex technical documents. They need to break things down into principles so they can apply them in novel contexts. They need to understand what the words “could not connect on port 4242” mean.

Except they don’t. They get me on the phone, throw their hands up in frustration, and have me push the buttons for them.

Because they didn’t pay attention in their humanities classes.

People who think like you make my job a lot harder.
