    Used to use a double edge razor from the 1960s, I still have it. Gillette Slim.

    I just use a modern DE instead, 2015 I think. Feather AS-D2.

    Both of them will probably outlast me. Especially the Feather, even though it’s newer and therefore theoretically made with less care, it was made in Japan, and it’s entirely stainless steel, not pot metal. Very strong. You’d need to run it over with a truck to break it.

    If cared for, nothing is stopping the Gillette from going another 60 years either.

    I’ve definitely pulled my hair out with docker too. Banged my head against the wall for a couple days before finally giving up.

    I’m not ridiculously tech savvy, but I’ve tinkered with Linux since I was young, daily drive it on my laptop. I’m not afraid of the command line, and I’m smart enough to search for help and guides when I need it.

    But something about docker just breaks my brain. Maybe I’m too old and there’s too much abstract thought required, I don’t know. But I can’t figure it out.

    Ooh I’ve got one! I wanna do a poll within this thread, so please respond with a spoiler tag so you don’t influence anyone’s answers.

    But what does IMHO mean to you?

    Comment below and then come back and read this:

    spoiler

    To me it means in my humble opinion, but it seems more and more these days I see people referring to it as in my honest opinion.

    Is this a coincidence? Or a commentary on how people have gotten more rude or self centered? IDK, I’m not qualified to answer. I just think it’s really interesting that it means both things, and it completely changes the vibe of what you’re saying if someone interprets it one way or the other.
