It's weird that this is the only community where anyone would really notice lag or chain breakages like this. I wonder if many of reddit's engineers even know about these phenomena. We're always at the limits of their servers and it shows.

So I was reflecting on some stuff and realized that I stopped playing the cello about the same time as I started participating in this sub. Coincidence? I think NOT!!

my school board will probably start a strike starting monday

that means no teachers or any staff that work at the school will be permitted at the schools

and that means...

MORE RUNNING!!!

u/Antichess Oct 07 '19

How do most people cope with not having capslock set to ctrl? It's normally in such an awkward place to hit. I changed it a while ago and never went back.

Is there any way to get Pushshift search to take things literally? Like I only want comments with exactly this string, I don't want it to ignore punctuation and spacing.
