Any other day and after one refresh, I would see 5 posts, or 5 pages. :P

I appreciate the speed it’s going now, though: Slow and steady, just like how it used to be 2 TETs ago.

You could do that, or you could spend a few more hours on the internet, followed by even more internet. Sleep only gets in the way of the internet, and nothing must be allowed to get in the way of the internet. Nothing at all.

You'd think after all these years that you'd become more efficient with your workplace violence, consider this a verbal warning. Disappointing.

Let's not and say we did.

NS Summer, while better than real summer, by virtue of it not being so damned hot on NS, still leaves a lot to be desired. Especially forumside.
