Aluminum (or aluminium for you lot): Chemical symbol Al, atomic number 13
Tin: Chemical symbol Sn, atomic number 51.
They’re both metals. Other than that, not too similar. 
What would happen if you combined all elements whose atomic number was prime?
Would that be the Optimus Prime?

Looks like it would be valuable, but poisonous, very reactive in water, and radioactive.

That’s right, Cheezburger. Keep pushing that ad for “The Big Short” into two or three places PER PAGE across your website. That will really make people want to buy this movie. I have to remember to shut off the speakers on my computer every time I go there now.

It’s a movie I want to see, but it’s far down on the list of movies I feel a need to own.

Though I do consciously choose which websites to allow ads on. Because I am nice. Same way that if I have, in the past, obtained a movie or album through sublegal means, and I’ve liked it, then yeah I go and buy it and usually more by the same director or artist.
A lot of copyright and consumer law totally overlooks the fact that for a majority of media, even including food, being able to try before you buy leads to greater sales and happier consumers. The greater sales cover the cost of lost sales through people trying but not liking the product, or trying and never paying for the product.

I am really sick of Charter Spectrum Business’s autoplay, too-loud ads.
I have just discovered that the spouse has indeed set the system password for his emulated NeXT Cube to be ‘swordfish’.
Because the password is swordfish.

@CaffeinatedNoms: I had installed that a while back. I’m guessing one of the updates to Vivaldi somehow stopped it from working, though after re-installing Adblock Plus it seems to be working now. I had been kind of stuck using Vivaldi since I didn’t want to take the time to manually duplicate all the bookmarks in a different browser, but the latest update finally added an “Export Bookmarks” feature.

Only 3 more years until I can play The Stanley Parable again.
Here’s a great gift idea. And using different plastic toys, good for any holiday as well.
This is about 10 years too late, but someone really needs to tell Jeff Foxworthy that there is only one U in “lubricant”.

When is it OK to say, “This code makes me sad,” about something you wrote?

10 years afterwards it is compulsory.
You can stretch to 5 years afterwards on special occasions.

How about a month?

I’d say up to 24 hours after you wrote it, then a 2 year waiting period.

A month is pushing it unless you can claim to be either medically impaired or given no other option by management

I’ve said it while writing the code. There is no limit.

It depends. If you’re learning a new language or paradigm, then it’s acceptable whenever you feel like it.
However if you’re being paid to do it, you’re never allowed to say it. Ever. Until you get a new job that is.
