if you trudge to the grocery store through pouring rain while listening to really dramatic music, it feels like you're on a quest to save the world

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat.
"Again?" said the dog.
"They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes."
The dog whined.
"Same procedure as last year?" said the cat.
"Please."
The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks.

Its easy to go backwards in time, just go slower than light.

today was productive. i got a super game boy, and i cleaned all my snes games, so they all work now. hooray for rubbing alcohol and q-tips

the nes is proving more troublesome. the problem there seems to be with the 72-pin connector as much as it is with the cartridges, and i'm having trouble cleaning the connector effectively even with the top cover off

i'll watch some videos tomorrow and see if i can make any progress. in the meantime i have cleaning kits in the mail for my consoles and carts

what is it that makes the nes' pin connector so susceptible to having its pins bend out of place over time, anyway? as far as i know it only happens for the nes, not the snes or other such consoles. is it a front-loader thing?

Alright does anyone know Sublime Text Magic?

The main thing that had been holding me back from upgrading Sublime Text 3->4 is that "New View into File", a feature I use on at least an hourly basis, was removed.

I hacked it back in with a custom menu item.

PROBLEM: Now if I open a second view into a file, and close *one*, it thinks I'm closing *the entire file* and asks if I want to save. It shouldn't do that. I'm not closing the file, just a duplicate tab.

What should I do? :(

Which brings me to a warning.

Tempting as it can be, under no circumstances should you use the instructions I’ve provided here to assemble your own personal arm of crows to carry out acts of unspeakable evil—or even to wage justified campaigns of retribution against your enemies.

Crows are wise birds, and they will catch own quickly. Once your crow army realizes that your seeming friendship is merely an instrumental ploy to harness their power to your own ends, may God help you—for I cannot.

I made a Chrome extension that adds a "Copy Alt Text" option to the right-click menu on images. A few kind folks have offered localizations, and now it's time to cut a release.

Before I do, I'd love to add other languages. I have Czech and Japanese, can you help with others?

Open a PR to github.com/alt-text-org/alt-te or translate:

- "Alt Text Copy"
- "Copy Image Alt Text By Right Clicking"
- "Copy Alt Text"

Please boost 💜
