I’m a fan of Sinn. I’ve been lucky to collect a few watches over the past decade that most would consider “better” watches, but my Sinn 356 gets more wrist time than some of the bigger names.

Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy come immediately to mind.

Edit: I guess those would fall into, what you call, “angry genres”. Not sure if that matters when it comes to spreading information. Popular is popular regardless of tone, and what is popular changes pretty regularly.

I like it! I’m only a hobbyist programmer, but I’m 100% guilty of this.

Sure. It depends on the work. I only reference the quote when it is applicable.

These aren’t necessarily my favorite quotes, but they are the two I find myself referencing almost daily in my work life.

“We never seem to have the time to do it right, yet we always seem to find the time to do it twice.”

“You can save hours of planning with weeks of work.”

I was lucky to see her before she was St. Vincent, when she was going by just her name, Annie Clark. She was playing a show outside of Boston with a friend’s band. I’m not to proud to admit, in my very ignorant and problematic youth, when I saw her get on the tiny stage I was certain I’d be rolling my eyes at another Lisa Loeb / Jewel singer songwriter type thing. Then she completely melted my face off with the most interesting guitar work and captivating songs I had seen at that club. I learned a lesson that day (in the best possible way) about being a stupid young boy.

When I purchased my first woodworking equipment, I was thinking much more like an engineer than a craftsman. I pretty quickly found that wood is a fairly forgiving material, and being off by a few thousandths on a table saw isn’t usually a big deal. But, it depends on what you’re building and what other tools you have.

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.
