on “How to Think for Yourself”Submitted New Achewood after 20 months of silence as a story · 10 points
HN discussionUnless you really screw up[1], or are intentionally trying to screw the IRS[2], you don't have to worry about an audit. The IRS's goal isn't to bring down their wrath upon you, their goal is to accurately collect the taxes they are due. If you pay too little, they'll ask you to pay the difference. If you pay too much, they'll refund it. Really: I once used the single-payer tax table instead of the filing-jointly tax…

HN discussionFor some reason, I'm reminded of a particular comic strip from Achewood - https://achewood.com/2007/01/11/title.html . "Fools! I have invented a usb device which can collect votes from the Internet and drive a knife through your heart!"

on “RFC 35140: HTTP Do-Not-Stab (2023)”>If I ever meet the person that invented lookbehind correction, I’m not sure I’ll be able to restrain myself. your comment reminds me of this comic from the 2000s that became a bit of a meme back in the day swap out "comic sans" with "aggressive lookbehind correction" and it'd fit perfectly ;-) https://www.achewood.com/2007/07/05/title.html

on “Why I created Comic Sans”I also get a loading 0%. OSX Chrome. From the page src: // [Not like piano music.]( http://achewood.com/index.php?date=11082002 ) I'm intrigued but don't understand the comic.

on “Glittering Blue”I can definitely recommend Achewood (21 on the buzzfeed article). It can take some time to get into it, and it has a distinct flavor that you might never learn to like, but if you do, it's amazing. I haven't really read any of the comics in years, but I still find myself using 'Achewood' language in some of my conversations. I rather like these two: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=12282007 http://www.achewood…

on “The Charles Mingus CAT-alog (1972)”Given that the strip is now (ouch) almost 19 years old, it occurs to me that some folks may not have seen Nightlife Mingus' appearance in the web comic Achewood: http://www.achewood.com/index.php?date=06202003
