Not to discourage other answers, but you might be interested in this post and the answer provided by /u/MYGODWHATHAVEIDONE, as well as the answer here by /u/vacillated_solipsist which is slightly tangential to your question but still relevant.

Both of these are two years old, but they're still within today's AH comments standards.
