It’s not impossible that Microsoft put the Windows source on Github (as they have done with DOS) before this is ready for use.

JTHM was great; it actually mercilessly mocked the darklings who were its nominal following, unlike a lot of more pandering goth comics that mixed the gentlest digs at pretentiousness/formulaic music/ridiculous dance moves/wretched poetry with stock tropes (vampires, New Orleans, beauty-in-darkness). Vasquez was the kind of cranky bastard who could really write.

Donnie Darko was, IMHO, hugely overrated. It felt like a student filmmaker trying to do a David Lynch impression, overseasoning it with Hot Topic angst, missing, and somehow getting lucky. Given how his subsequent film, Southland Tales, fell flat, that’s probably not inaccurate.

Somebody once suggested removing all restrictions on the sale and possession of firearms, but severely regulating ammunition.

Ultron? I think I had one of their XVGA Multiscan monitors in the 90s.

Maybe if they sacrifice enough rare books, the Basilisk will save them

English did historically use æ, as the Latin ae-ligature (along with œ), though it went out of fashion at around the end of the Victorian era, and may not have been used in American English except as a stylistic affectation.

English historically has not done vowel symbols other than AEIOU and the occasional Y, leaving the speaker to bloody well figure out themselves which vowel sound a letter represents in a specific word, leaving it free to use ligatures and diacriticals as accents (i.e. the archaic dieresis in “coördinate” informing the reader that the “oo” is not a “ooh” digraph, these days seen only in the New Yorker). In contrast, languages like German and the Scandinavian languages treat accented vowels as distinct vowels of their own, moving them to the end of the alphabet in the dictionary.

Isn’t ø just the Danish/Norwegian equivalent of the German ö?

In any case, it could be used to disambiguate words with different o sounds; i.e., “polish” (to shine a surface by rubbing) from “Pølish” (from Pøland).

To borrow a tenet from another abrahamic religion, trust in God, but tie up your camel.
