Linus Torvalds introspection(!) + 

"This week people in our community confronted me about my lifetime of
not understanding emotions. My flippant attacks in emails have been
both unprofessional and uncalled for. Especially at times when I made
it personal. In my quest for a better patch, this made sense to me.
I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry."

am I the only one that gets super confused when a game uses colors to show stuff like rarity of an item? like how am I supposed to remember whether blue or red is better? and where does green come in? just put a number or a letter those actually have an established order

it also runs well in Wine once you get it to run (for some reason launching it from wine's explorer.exe works but the commandline doesn't and my version corrupted itself when quitting once) and then it just works and doesn't need a lot of performance

- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m

90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them

Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m

This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created
