> We got so engrossed in the details of this topic that half an hour passed before we noticed that everyone had stopped working and was running around in a frenzy. Someone finally ran over and asked him if he was doing a query, he hit Control-C, and Twitter came back up.

This would not be out of place as a scene in Silicon Valley

For a later season. This was one of my favorite scenes on the show.

Completely unrelated, but I find myself reading your post about Argentinian steaks at least once a year. It's perfect. https://idlewords.com/2006/04/argentina_on_two_steaks_a_day....

No joke, this post was largely the reason I wanted to travel to Argentina.

The food lived up to the mental image I had after reading the post.

I just found and read that article yesterday. The writing is on another level.

As an Uruguayan, I loved it and found it entirely accurate :)
