My freshman English teacher, on practically the first day of college, taught us about the evils of the “dawn of time” opening, and 15 years later I still think about it every time I write an essay.
She explained that freshmen almost always start an essay the same way: with vast, all-encompassing vagueness.
“Since the dawn of time, mankind has enjoyed music. However, Linkin Park’s ‘Numb’ was only discovered quite recently.”

To get the most out of the Cubii under-desk elliptical you bought in 2016, you really need to put it in storage for about eight years because you started working from home and your new desk is slightly too low so your knees bump it when you pedal and you could adjust the height of the desk but it never seems all that pressing, and when you finally do it takes less than 10 minutes. Yeah um this was the plan all along

Vibe programming. Vibe chemistry. Vibe drive the bus to school.
Vibe filmmaking. Vibe surgery. Vibe screen the jury pool.
Vibe housekeeping. Vibe artistry. Vibe lay off all your staff.
But vibes can’t feed a hungry crowd, and vibes won’t save your ass.
It’s #50forFOSS week. If there’s a special piece of open-source software in your life, maybe treat it to a little donation this Friday?
