I was a half-pack-a-day smoker for about 10 years, quit several times (once for several months), and the only thing that "worked" ultimately was realizing that I simply could never have another cigarette. After the physical cravi

It's a meme for Long Now members showing that they intend/expect civilization to continue past the year 9999. It's an effective signal to other members and a great "Ask me" button.

Human psychology is a thing. If you point a team at a growing pile of bugs that no one has wrapped their head around, then the team will feel demoralized, overwhelmed, and unmotivated. But if someone does wrangle the bug list and produce
