Linus Torvalds

We have some kind of super-mole infestation in our front yard.

The mole people have been here weekly for the last two months, and have caught at least two moles (“they are solitary creatures, and territorial, so you probably only have one”), but today they apparently admitted defeat.

I think I can hear the mole giggling.

You win, mole. You win.

@torvalds I'll bet you that there were moles living there long before you and they're more (rightfully so) upset about the human infestation.

@michelestrider @torvalds Precisely. Best way to remove a process is to build a counter-process.
