I think its clear most people would like the distribution to look more like it did 1980 than 2014. I'm sorry I forgot what a socialist nightmare 1980s America was.

Everyone says that about nipples, but anyone whose had a kid knows that its not always easy for a baby to learn how to latch onto a nipple. It can take a day or two and all they while you are terrified your baby is going to starve.

Don't most people do this? Especially the kind of people here on Hacker News? I have like 10 plaid shirts, and 4 pairs of dark blue jeans and every day i pick one of each and wear it. The big advantage of my system is that I don't look like a weirdo because I wear an identical outfit every day.
OMG I have been burned by this so many times. Expect itself is a cool piece of technology and works as well as anyone could hope. However, every time I've tried to use it for anything the solution ends up being super flaky. I think trying to automate text interfaces like this is just fundamentally unreliable.
