Today, our top place winner on the informative side is James Burkhardt, reacting to a commenter who compared Elon Musk’s ridiculous server-destroying experience to Alexander cutting the Gordian knot, and taking the example even more:

Alexander got the cart from his next-door neighbor, whose land he was now handling. The old guy, instead of construct a brand-new cart, had actually been covering the old one together simply enough while making a growing number of goes to market.

Disappear and believe. Then, when you can return and inform me that you do see making use of it, I might enable you to ruin it.”
