I’d add editorial commentary, except I feel like it’s starting to get repetitive and redundant and repetitively redundant.

Well, painless assuming I discount the mini heart attack loading the site to see a “no posts found”. See, I’m the sort of what could possibly go wrong I don’t need to backup anything kinda guy.
