I sincerely hope that whoever designed this "easily re-legendable" switch cap died horribly and alone.
I hope that they struggled against unimaginable pain to draw their final breath, wrought with terror on the brink of the abyss.
And I hope that, just seconds before the cloak of darkness finally descended upon them, they were suddenly and incomprehensibly filled with thoughts of shame and regret.

Reason: Expounded upon the opprobrium which I harbor against this person.
I need to know what cameras & lens that was shot on. The big 2/3" stuff I have here at WGN can just barely handle that sort of dynamic range, and I'm assuming Puddles didn't drop $25k on a camera.
Cross-posting from the gourmet thread, because 'Mericuh.
It's Memorial Day, when Americans honor those who have given their lives in defense of this nation by consuming large amounts of beef and alcohol.
It is well-known that the ritual consumption of beef in remembrance of the fallen is originally an Italian custom. The practice is thought to have originated in the late 16th century in Palermo, where each year a day-long celebration known as La Notte della Mucca Vivente (The Night of the Living Cow) commemorates the Bovine Uprising of 1583, when cattle from a nearby farm, under the leadership of a pig which was rumored to walk upon its hind legs and speak fluent Latin*, stormed the Palazzo dei Normanni. Hundreds of Sicilians were gored before the cattle were finally put down by the townspeople, after which their meat was roasted in a feast which lasted for a whole week.
* = That the pig spoke Latin is fiercely contested by contemporary scholars, and this detail is generally considered to be apocryphal. This is not meant to be a Pig-Latin pun, as Latin was still the predominant language of governance and religion in 16th century Sicily.
It is interesting to note that only one person ever claimed to have actually witnessed the cattle rebellion first-hand; a young farmhand named Cosimo Bramante who, by his own admission, had consumed a rather generous quantity of wine on the night in question. Even more interesting is the fact that the farmer's wife would later claim to have witnessed Bramante in flagrante delicto with the very same cattle on that evening. However, the veracity of her testimony is questionable, as she was widely known to to be an opium-user with highly flirtations tendencies. As Bramante had, some days earlier, written in his diary that he had rebuked her amorous advances, many historians speculate that this claim was made falsely, a spiteful attempt to seek revenge against him.
Regardless of the slightly unverifiable nature of these facts, the people of southern Italy continue to celebrate Mucca Vivente each year in late May. And in honor of that glorious custom, I present: Veal Marsala with cremini mushrooms, pancetta, and glazed scallion, with a side of roasted brussel sprout topped with a sherry-cream sauce with bacon and sun-dried tomato:
