    ... but...for fhtagn's sake why?
    Because someone has the notion that if they don't change something, they are not doing their job. It is very annoying, especially when they change something that worked perfectly fine before.

    • Ceir, I don't get it either. Are the web designers bored, or...?

      • Sometimes that slight visual change is not even the major part of the update. There may be a lot of code changes going on, on the back end, but if they push out an update with nothing the end user can see as an update, they sometimes get annoyed at an update being pushed out "for no reason." Hence, little visual changes here and there.

          • A very specific, very weird bit of nostalgia, and/or making myself feel old: man, there was a time when walking into Taco Bell with ten bucks meant you came back L-O-A-D-E-D...

              • Apparently Mickey D's in our town used to have weekly specials on cheeseburgers--something like two for a dime. My folks, being starving students at the time, would buy as many as they could afford, and freeze them.

                I guess that's why I view their plain cheeseburger as a comfort food, though I don't really remember having them all the time.

                One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world.
                The other, of course, involves orcs." -- John Rogers

                • More fast food thoughts. Boneless hot wings are the adult-oriented version of chicken nuggets, and I'm okay with that.
