It’s obvious that this tool was made by people who care about data and care about humans. It’s not even that it’s •perfect•; it’s just that it’s •thoughtful•.

TIL when someone asks for their pain meds and you bring them their Ibuprofen, and they react happily, it's bad taste to say "Iiiibuuu" like Jar Jar Binks.
