Isn't that a bit slow, if you seal them into an airtight can with no empty space the problem will be solved within ~3 to 5 minutes.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Looks like site driving. What are you trying to share?

Which is click-bait or site driving, add some value, tell us why you think it's worthwhile, what did you learn?

Before you get all pissy negative, change your browser so that when you hover over a link the url appears at the bottom of your window or something, then you will see the link and determine for yourself. If you had done so, you wouldn't have accused me of site driving when I have never site-driven here. You sound like you are trying to make this into SO or something.

Your post is noting but "Follow this link".
I canceled my subscription to this one web newspaper; on major reason was that its front page never revealed nothing whasoever. Every story was presented with catchy phrases like "On her way to work this happened". "This will be his biggest task this fall". Right now: A photo of some foreign banknotes: "Nosediving". And "Never before used in war". "Dancing - then this happens". "Going viral". Photo that seems to be part of an oil rig: "Begging Norway". Close up of an eye: "Can reveal a disease". Sometimes, the photo reveals some celebrity face, but I am not into celebrities (and don't care much for gossip about them).
Earlier, I felt an urge to click on each and ever one of those nonsense headlines, just in case there was something valuable hidden behind them. There rarely was. Or, the information density is much higher at other sites. I started skipping all those "Look at this!" stories - and soon it dropped to at most four or five stories a day, most of them just a couple paragraphs long. Now I am back to the front page only, and a few free teaser stories (all of them are of the 'Look a this!' kind). The front page tells me that something has happened to someone, somewhere in the world, but hey, I am not surprised by that.
Many web forums are similar - including technical ones. I have come into the habit of just skipping over those with titles like "Difficult problem" or "Stuck with programming task" or "Help needed". I am not wasting my time on reading a long text just to find out that I have nothing to contribute. Often, it is possible to deduce that from the headline (certainly here in the Lounge!), and I skip over that post/thread. I skip over far more threads today than I did two years ago.
Then comes a post "Kubernetes". I was struggling with it a couple of years ago, so it caught my eye. Inside: Nothing! Nothing of value to me, nothing where I could contribute with my experiences. It was just like one of those "Look at this!" headlines in that web newspaper: Just a waste of time opening it. I am not going to waste even more time by following some link must because you state "Look at this!".

Instead, you will waste even more time by writing a long drawn out reply, draining all humor from the site. Great job! And I'm wasting my time by responding to a buzz-kill.
Anyway, I hope you find humor in other endeavors today!

Before you get all pissy please consider that I already looked at the URL. That's not the issue. The issue is dropping a link with no commentary or other context about why it was dropped. Add something, don't just drop a link.

Lighten up guys. I enjoyed the link to what is clearly meant to be humorous. Kramer on Kubernetes, LOL (even the name Kubernetes is humorous).

 Don't bother. You clearly wouldn't appreciate it.
For reference, it was a joke. You need to have a sense of humour in order to appreciate them.
Your whole exchange here has caused me to imagine you trying to buy a book of jokes.
I suppose you'd have to read them all first to determine if it was a worthwhile proposition!

I was all around this one but was unable to quite hone in. The missing piece for me is: how does "to junction" mean "t"?
I've googled around and see lots of examples that make that translation. It looks like it's something fairly commonly known in cryptic crosswords - unfortunately, not to me. Could you perhaps enlighten this puzzled puzzler please? Thank you.

Drive down your road, and I'm sure you will eventually come to a T junction ...
It's a very common crossword substitution.

I tried to sub X and XING for junction but got nowhere. Never considered T. Thank you again.

That part of the clue is referring to a T-junction[^].

Yup. I think what was confusing me was all the examples I found on the net had the combination "to junction" translated to T. So I thought that combination in and of itself had some special meaning, almost like am anagram indicator. What I think it really means is that "to" is "connected to" and "junction" is "t" - like "males to junction" is "men" + "t" = "ment". I was just over thinking it - a sure way to fail to solve a clue. 
When I was trying to solve it I tried subbed X and XING for junction but never considered a T junction. Mea culpa.
Thank you.
