I tried making eggy in the basket for the first time, using wheat bread. It tastes fantastic, but I fear I came up short on presentation a bit. What do you think?

Periodic reminder. Don't open attachments that:

* come in unexpected email,

* have its password in the same email it's attached to.

No anti-malware scanner along the way could open it to scan it before you got it. If it could, it would've blocked it as obvious malware.

What do you get when you play the BBC News countdown theme and Dua Lipa's "Hallucinate" at the same time? I don't know, but it's one of the better mash-ups I've listened to. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skK3WoK5Z8A

Weird observation:

There is a word in the English language which is 80% silent letters, and the only letter that's actually pronounced is among the rarest in the language.

This is not what I imagined the post-apocalypse would look like:

Gender reveal party inventor begs for end to ‘toxic’ trend amid wildfires: https://nypost.com/2020/09/08/gender-reveal-party-inventor-begs-for-end-to-trend-amid-wildfires/

“For the love of God, stop burning things down to tell everyone about your kid’s penis. No one cares but you,” the parenting blogger wrote.

Burning down a whole community or 3 is a hell of a way to reveal whether there's a penis-like thing in your womb or not.

Dear parents:

1) You don't need to outdo Broadway when putting on a party of any kind.

2) You're holding gender reveal parties anywhere from 5 to 70 years too early! Let your child reveal it themselves!

Sincerely,
Everyone you miraculously haven't killed or made homeless yet.

Remember: If you're writing a shellscript with a metric ton of line blocks almost similar enough to put in a function but not quite, then save your fingers & write a shellscript to write all those lines for you.

Writing one-off programs that write other one-off programs is just as much real programming as writing anything you share by hand. There's nothing to be ashamed of.

If you've ever seen "Prelude to Axanar," then you're probably at least a little bit familiar with how almost uniquely lawyered-to-death that Star Trek fan project has become. If you're not, then watch their latest, shorter satire video, "Stalled Trek: Prelude to Ax'd-We-Are": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1FX5GPd7YU8

So, Avery's labels managed to completely gum up my office's printer, resulting in lots of copy paper pages jamming on nothing, as well as every single nightly print job queuing up for the last 2 days being spontaneously lost.

Number of Avery address labels with their trademark "Sure Feed Technology" run through a laser printer: 300 (5 sheets of 60 each).

Number of printed labels aligned enough to be salvageable despite half-inch margins in artwork: 189 (63%).

Labels wasted due to jams/misalignment: 111 (37%).

Number of address labels printed on copy paper and misaligned by over 1/16 inch in any direction: 0.

Fuck you, Avery. Shit bootleg labels print straighter & more reliably.

I saw a tweet lamenting the extremely high prices of some games for rare consoles, and I decided to look up the freebie game in box I picked up when I bought my used Genesis and Sega CD console: https://www.pricecharting.com/game/sega-cd/keio-flying-squadron

I nearly choked on my coffee.
