@siracusa Fair enough. The original by the way is also “hand me the aux cord” including the drunken variations I’m more familiar with. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Hand%20me%20the%20aux%20cord

@atpfm This was basically an Episode of Top 4 with @marcoarment cheating on Tiff with @siracusa and @caseyliss which per series tradition, nobody actually followed the ostensible rules and format of Top 4. Well done!

@gruber Only superficially and within topical bounds. Technically that’s a generalization, and technically HN contributors are just a motley disparate bunch of people like name a social network/society. The thing that makes HN different is that its biases skew differently than other forums, not because there’s any other particularly extraordinary quality about the place. At the end of the day it’s just another forum and voting system that expresses some kind of average of the day in ~30 links.

@gruber as to who you pissed off? Well not me, but I think it’s hard to be a writer with your style without pissing some people off and personally that’s something I like about your writing but that others hate; so I guess that includes a cross-section of people that are also active on HN.
