Hi hi hi
Tried shaving with a double sided safety razor (like this one) and totally butchered my face. I look like Edward Scissorhands. After watching an unnecessarily (but still great) deep and philosophical tutorial on how to do it properly, I realized that long strokes were my downfall. Once the wounds heal, I'll take another stab at it. It's too frustrating buying the multi-blade razor heads that go for like $5 a pop when I can get a razor blade for pennies. How do my neckbeard readers keep your neckbeards in check?
Anyway, here's the issue.

Some highlights:

  • Denis gets a lot of unnecessary hate
  • Programmers aren't the best business people
  • Maintaining a FOSS project can be brutal
