Fun facts - it’s also usually nitrogen in the bag rather than just air, so that the chips don’t go stale on the shelf.
Hmm. I thought it was mostly moisture that makes stuff go stale. Is it oxygen?
At least partially. Oxygen is pretty reactive, and can(or rather, will) react with a lot of the stuff in the chips. Filling them with nitrogen will help prevent moisture from forming, but even in a completely dry, oxygen-only atmosphere, they still go stale.

Edit: Ya know, I just saw this again, and remembered, technically my first programming language was C. Out of the C for dummies book. I still have it, it’s pages yellowing. This was in highschool, and I never got too much further than basic debugging, but technically I’m a C programmer. I just popped it open and read the first like 15 pages. When it was written apparently Dennis Ritchie was still alive, they specifically mention the possibility of passing him on the street.

In the face of the company’s liquidation and closure, the Toys R Us mascot has been sold to a children’s hospital.
3 PAX Prime panels this year, and an assist on a 4th one. I think I have hit peak presenter at the PAX level.

I’ve been watching this at least a few times a day since it came out. This bit is pure delight.

I can’t get the trailer music from the new Warframe expansion out of my head, send help.
Me either, or as close as I get to that sort of thing. I find myself humming it from time to time. It’s not quite a Simon Viklund banger like you get in Payday 2, but it’s still real catchy. And I kinda like work songs, shanties, drinking songs, that sort of thing.
