Well, he was a billionaire because he sold his successful business to Hewlett-Packard, who then wrecked it and strong-armed a case through the DoJ to claim he'd somehow misconstrued the value of his company, and then he spent 13 months in prison awaiting trial and was acquitted because the judge said HP just fucked it, so if we're making up theories about who's the villain in this story about an unexplained sinking... Maybe it's more complex than a cursory reading of a single news article?

It's also incredibly cheap to produce, requiring no unusual props or location shooting, and generally tolerable to those who aren't interested in the kink, so it's a relatively safe bet economically

Not only is the word fag used by a lot of people, because there are a lot of hateful bigots out there, but even when you don't mean the nasty implications, it still reminds gay people around you how much the world hates them and leads hateful bigots who overhear you to believe that their views are more widely held and acceptable to share in public. Shocking though it may seem, South Park is not a moral authority on these matters.

Aside from that, if you know a word is commonly used a slur against a disprivileged group, someone advises you to stop using it, and your response is that you'd rather say it, hurt someone and apologise if they complain about it than just stop using that word, what does that say about your priorities?

Yeah, a light meal taken at 11am, usually including a hot beverage and a bakery product

Whether you're talking UI or code structure, functional and elegant minimalism requires planning. Before you start laying down markup or css, sit down and write out what elements your site needs to be functional, where they will sit on a page and how you're going to achieve that layout in plain English. Minimalism in coding falls apart once you have to start adding a bunch of dependencies and exceptions to account for something you didn't anticipate - so make a conscious effort to anticipate!

It'll just be one fewer junctions. 2^n is always one more than the sum of 2^1+...2^(n-1)
