imperishable night

When you have a day expected to be 24 hours in length or more without sleeping. Named after the Touhou game where you freeze the night just to find that one person who put up a fake moon.

My day began at 7AM, with me flying out of Toronto for Dublin at 5PM. It was 6AM the next day when I arrived, and I didn't fly to Glasgow until 1PM. I didn't get to the hotel until 7PM. That was one heck of an Imperishable Night.

Electronic Artsed

When a website or game that was previously free now makes you pay to use it. This most commonly happens if that website or company was previously purchased by another company or the original developer has too much of their audience using their site or game for free and isn't meeting their revenue goals.

Scenario 1:
Kyle: Hey, want to create some new applets on IFTTT?
Chris: Yeah, we haven't used it in a while.
(checks site, sees user must have subscription to create more applets)
Kyle: What in the - you now have to pay to create more applets!?
Chris: Looks like IFTTT got electronic artsed.

Scenario 2:
Kyle: Did you hear Elon Mollusk bought Twitter?
Chris: Yeah. At least we can still promote our tweets.
Kyle: Sure thing, let me try-
(sees user must have Twitter Blue to promote tweets)
Chris: No way! You have to subscribe to Twitter Blue to promote tweets now?
Kyle: Crap. That's what happens when a company gets electronic artsed.

iPLEDGE

A program created by the FDA whose primary goal is controlling the distribution of Accutane, a medication used for treating acne. Patients, doctors, and pharmacists are required to register with the program in order to prescribe the medication.

The program was created to prevent birth defects if taken during pregnancy. It has not significantly reduced the exposure of pregnant women to Accutane, but major criticisms of it are difficult compliance regulations, privacy intrusion, and difficulty navigating its site.

Kyle: Hey! How's life going?
Chris: Awful. I was prescribed Accutane because of my terrible acne. I had to go through registering with this crappy iPLEDGE program, and I also have to have bloodwork done every month.

Kyle: I continuously crapped out a long string of feces. This came after I ate a really big supreme pizza.
Chris: I want to try doing that someday.

never dig straight down

Number one rule of Minecraft. Doing so makes you fall in lava or often, falling into a cavern where you lose all of your stuff. Digging straight up does the same thing but with similar cases. Doing this also makes you get stuck in the hole you've dug in.

Susumu: Mr. Izumi, have you seen Konata anywhere!?
Soujirou: I'm sorry Susumu, but Konata has died. I've told her numerous times to never dig straight down.
Susumu: Awwww, now I can't go to prom with her!
