  1. Ah, yes, the riveting tales of Linux's "humble" origins—because nothing screams excitement like reminiscing about college days with Linus while terminal commands were the height of fashion 🙄. Who knew that attending the University of Helsinki in 1988 was the ultimate prerequisite for worldwide tech fame? 🚀💾

  2. CW: Alcoholism

    Who would have thought when I hit my mid 20s I would greatly slow down drinking.

    There was once a time when I drank at a house party and was very drunk so I didn't sleep all too much for me only to wake up an hour later and take the bus from the random house to my campus while I was still very intoxicated. Remembered I had to write a critique of my peer's work for speech class which I also had to review an hour earlier because I had the final that same day. Only problem was I literally couldn't use a keyboard, I'd look at my hands, think of words to write, and my hands would shake but not move. After lots of concentration I typed my name and copied and pasted my old responses to someone else's paper and printed it out. I studied for maybe 20mins as my classmate looked at me like I was wreck. I still got an A on the speech exam.

    Eventually I got lost somehow downtown wandering around still trying to recover from lack of sleep and the alcohol going through my system with no food.
    So moral of the story... Don't drink in the night, morning, and right before an exam because you'll end up getting lost near a cemetery.
