Nobody pays 35 euro to travel from Geneva to Lausanne unless they are visiting.

Do you have any examples on hand of subreddits like this?

Strongly disagree with replacing bar charts by scattered points with arbitrary position on the horizontal axis (2 and 3). It is very difficult to disassociate horizontal proximity from vertical proximity, and the former is meaningless and distracting here.

Switzerland often gets bandied about in these discussions, because people see gun ownership rates and ignore the subtleties. All adult males are required to own and keep a rifle at home (with some minor exceptions). There is no "gun culture" here, people in general are very unenthusiastic and see it as a burden.

In the last 20 years they have stopped giving ammunition to keep with your military rifle, exactly because they started having problems with shootings. Switzerland is the worst possible "example" of gun ownership reducing violent crime.

Any idea how you were caught in the end? Were you consolidating your isk to a single account?

Awesome! Stumbling on QBasic Gorillas was my first programming experience, too!

I had an extremely similar experience, right down to the ages. My father's coworker hooked me up with Visual Basic when I was nine, and I also made a tile-based RPG, although I think I had the keyboard working. I even had multiplayer---you would select a text file on the other computer over a network share, and you would both read/write your coordinates there. It actually worked most of the time!

And then Borland C++, and up, and up :) Great memories!

This is great fun. Very accessible.

Somebody always posts this comment re: Computer Modern, but I've never seen anybody offer up some of these strictly superior printing fonts (of which there are apparently many). Would you care to link some examples?

I was curious about this, Googled for it, found it freely available from Mackay's website.

As someone who loves Twitter gimmick accounts, I would love to hear some strategies for keeping them in the clear. Cute project!
