Haboobs are massive dust and debris storms that occure when cold air hits the hot desert floor. As the storm picks up speed, it also picks up huge amounts of dust and debris. It looks like a massive wall moving across the flat desert basins. It is unique to certain deserts. :)

Security! Deprecating short addressing means more complex addressing, more mirrors - and yes, more problems in some ways but it absolutely keeps the encryption and distribution of .onion networking. In a sense, it's like a snake renewing its skin ;-)
Been thinking about the purposeful choice to deprecate .onion short addresses with no backward compatibility. At the end of this month, all those addresses simply go away. It's a very intelligent move for .onion but of course goes against the Open Web's principles. Thoughts?

Are you familiar with obsessive rumination? That might be a good place to gain some context. It's considered part of OCD and relates to incessant brain chatter that is hyperfocused on a given theme or issue. It's agonizing for everyone.

"The secret to happiness is low expectations"
- Barry Schwartz
His riviting work is at the intersection of Psychology & Economics. The meaning here is that expansion of choice has not improved the human experience, rather causes us great distraction, displeasure and distress.

I think your idea of providing examples would be a very helpful undertaking and not just spoken language. All forms of synchronous or near synchronous communication would be fascinating. So let's record a conversation soon real soon cuz I miss you mostest XO
