There’s a joke about ASP.NET and browser cookies here but I’m too lazy to make it.

Old?!?! I'll have you know I just did some maintenance work on an ASP.NET 4.0 app a couple weeks ago. ☹️

I have mine working as ballast in the bottom of a bookshelf to keep it from vibrating too hard when the 3D printer on top of it is running

Looking nice on my shelf. The internet is a greater tool than any book.

I've used mine to prop up monitors but lately they just sit on my shelf. Books that serve no purpose end up in the garbage simply because I don't have room for them.
