there are a number of warnings about the "steep warning curve", but I figured I could work through it
the first option it presents you with is "do you want to set up some accounts?", which is pretty reasonable
the second option it presents you with is "Day Threshold for Read-Only Transactions (red line)", which turns out to be a feature which lets you lock old transaactions as read-only.
nice option to have, I suppose, but perhaps not the second thing you need to present the user with, and maybe it should also be explained in the "tutorial and concepts guide" (it is explained in the manual)
the method of adding transactions is also a bit cumbersome at first but I expect I'll get a feel for it fairly quickly

I'm glad that someone has calculated the refractive index of the human liver to three decimal places

There's no such thing as software bugs
All bugs are hardware bugs because the computer didn't do what you wanted it to

PCI-SIG sells "CD1", a CD with PDFs of all current PCI specifications, for $6000 to non-members. Or, you can pay $5000 to become a member and buy it for $75 (or just download all current and past PCI specifications for free and burn them to your own CD)
(you can download them for free as a member)

You know most airports aren't silent so I'm curious how they pulled that off

It's funny when you badly mistype something into Google and it tries to come up with results

(I was going for "produce")

I swear nobody at Microsoft uses the "Automatically hide the taskbar" setting or it'd be fixed by now

Thinkblog is blocked on my work Internet for some reason
Not STiBaRC though
It's also the only site I've encountered that's blocked
Anyway this is very funny https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/DevTools/issues/442

"Take On Me by A-Ha" has got to be one of the hardest songs to remember how to spell
is it "Take On Me" or "Take Me On"? Is it "A-Ha" or "Ah-Ha" or "Ha-Ha" or "The Ah-Has" or "A-Ha's" or whatA?

huh, I didn't know that Bedrock unimplementee block IDs indicate that reinforced deepslate was once intended to have a "slot" variant

(mysterious_frame would end up being reinforced deepslate)

I don't know if my comment is actually what spurred some progress to be made here, but I am glad there finally was some https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2037273
