  1. Many editions of The Planets you could buy on CD before 2006 include "Pluto—The Renewer" by Colin Mathews. I was 19 in 2006, and I was strongly in favor of Pluto's demotion strictly on the basis of it not being part of Holst's canon.

  6. ​ @ciarancurley5482 Ooh! I just used elinks for the first time yesterday, and when I was done I instinctively typed: ":q" and to my retroactive surprise it worked! I think it's just that the keybind to quit is "q" and the colon was ignored, but it was definitely a nice treat after the number of times I've tried to quit nano via muscle memory.
