Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OOh, the mysteries of DNS, partially revealed....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sometimes they ask us if we're brother and sister, I guess when we talk about living in the same house or something.

I have two sets of relatives who are a brother and sister living together with their various children -- one of them calls her brother her "brosband," which always makes me laugh.

Tom, if you repeatedly hit a site like b.org, does the cached DNS value still expire 24 hours after the first hit?

I kinda want to invite people over for new years day, but it's super late and I have been so hermitized that I have no meatspace life anymore.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Yes, tommyrot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, freak me out. One should never combine those two words.

does the cached DNS value still expire 24 hours after the first hit?

Yes, tommyrot.

What counts as the first hit? This morning? What if I'm never away for 24 hours? Does it count down from the very first time I hit and then time out every 24 hours from then?

Sure, if you're dirty.

I am girding my loins to head outside. Oh dear.

Heh, seriously. Because outside of overseas vacations, that just doesn't happen very often.

Hello? Brother? Husband? Very different functionality. It doesn't take a dirty mind to realise that. There's a reason the term work spouse is sometimes seen as dodgy.
