Lyrics by Christopher Adler Music by Tommy Vig
gollark: Mostly they look like generic metal or plastic cuboids with SATA interfaces on them, or just PCBs with a bunch of flash chips and the M.2 connector, but some insane companies added RGB.
gollark: You should use a solid state SSD disk.
gollark: How does that even happen? These are integers. There shouldn't be floating point weirdness.
gollark: I have some JS which *almost* works, except it's *somehow* off by a few percent and it cuts off the bottom of the text.
gollark: Why is it that CSS makes it really easy to do complex layouts and such but there is literally no simple, working, consistent way - even with JS involved - to make a text area automatically fit its contents?!
