Do you think you might want to write the editors at Wired about this ?
I stopped reading it a long time ago after, imho, it became a nest of narcissistic techno-savants too busy with flaunting their own grandiosity to write articles whose content interested me. I saw the word "meme" in it so many times, I developed a rash.
cheers, Bill

I believe there is a "rash" meme somewhere out there...

How is that Wired is NOT the media? What else would they be?

You're confused. Or you're not. Maybe you are. Where's my kitten? You're confused.

Actually, people have been time travelling since the stone age... Because I time traveled back from 2057 with a time machine and explained them how to use it. Not in our current timeline of course
Too bad I never got to go back to the present because the software threw a NullReference exception

Wouldn't that be the rams?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Sounds like regular steering to me.

You should use "widdershins[^]" and "deasil[^]" to avoid all confusion.

So...

That's it! That's so much clearer than the original. No possibility of confusion there.

Surely it depends on whether you are travelling hubwards or rimwards.
