@softgoat Figure out where the corners of your car are. Specifically, what's at the corners or how far away things like lines and curbs are from the corners, based on what you can see from the driver's seat. Unfortunately, IDK what can teach that except experience & practice.

First Law of Robotics: Don’t talk about robotics.

@tahajin @Kat@snouts.online If that's true, then I already got GRS way back in '98. :V
(I broke my elbow, & they moved the funny bone during surgery to make way for plates & screws. Gender: MP3 player chassis.)

I also discovered the hard way that textile has very different ideas from markdown about paragraph folding & what hard word-wrapping means.

I've settled on making a static website generator. Debugging the single file workflow was many times quicker than debugging the design, which I think is a good sign. With the design, I aimed to make it look just right in modern browsers, look acceptable in old browsers, & be fully conformant with HTML 5, CSS 3, & WCAG 2. That was work, but I didn't get hacky or make compromises.

i'm gay (click "show more" to view the license for this toot) 

@lynnesbian This is somehow still more appropriate a use for it than most Windows installers for GPL programs. IDK if I should be impressed, terrified, or in a swimsuit.

I am very positively impressed with how gracefully the HTML 5 pages with semantic tags I'm making degrade in ancient Web browsers. Both content and structure look more usable than the tag soup in layout tables I was using 15 years ago.

Retro computing 

@k0bold @Saxxon Copied. Dell's space bar is shaped for the bulge, & Dell's arrow pad doesn't bulge out.

I'll be honest; I had no idea Logitech made that kind of keyboard.

vegetarian freezer food, but not vegetarianism 

MorningStar Farms, the company that makes frozen vegetarian meat-substitute foods? They make microwaveable meat-candy substitutes, too (Veggie Bacon Strips), & I'm hooked. The only problems are the window between underdone & burned is consistent but tiny, & if they're not transferred from one plate to another within 15 seconds of the microwave beeping done, they stick & won't come off except in tiny flakes.

PROMPT_COMMAND='[ $? -eq 0 ] || printf "(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻\n"' # You can set this in your bash shell config to flip a table whenever a command fails with a non-zero exit status.

the real reason HAL didn't open the pod bay doors was that left-pod had gotten removed from npm

The Internet is held together by duct tape, bailing wire, & unicorn farts. 

@JulieSqveakaroo I just noticed. It looks like they pulled the story.

Windows: This program is not responding.
Me: Okay, end it.
Windows: The crash recovery tool is not responding.
Me: Okay, end that.
Windows: Nah, you're gonna have to reboot.
Me: But everything else is working just fine.
Windows: No email until you reboot.
Me: Fine, reboot.
Windows: Please wait while I install updates.

Okay, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission is surprisingly good on twitter

Yes, this is an actual tweet they sent twitter.com/USCPSC/status/1046
