What's scary is that I think the owner of userbenchmark actually believes that statement. Which might explain how he's so out of touch that he thinks his own crap doesn't stink and deserves to be locked behind a subscription. I'm just sad that there might be a not insignificant number of people that pay for it.

When I was twelve, I woke up convinced that the color yellow was called yellow, because humans had figured out that word was intrinsically linked to that color.

I was devastated my "epiphany" stopped making sense after I fully woke up.

It's a play on an idiom, "there's gold in them there hills." I'm not sure if it's just a really old idiom, or just a rural dialect, or both.

I sync OneDrive to my Synology as well, another reason I'm okay with the "double" traffic is that my and my wife's photos from our smartphones immediately get backed up to our Synology, even when we're away from home.

I've heard conservatives claim that many liberals actually want forced abortions, because it's really about eugenics and population control.
