i've been intrigued by rectilinear fonts and scripts lately, so i generated this "writing" by randomly superimposing a fixed set of horizontal and vertical lines and boxes for each glyph
as posted by a headmate on twitter:
"plurality can be just this bullshit handwavey concept you can craft yourself to better explain your shifts in personality and facets and identities and anyone who says otherwise is a rule-shitting gatekeeper"
"Atari 2600 Hardware Design: Making Something out of (Almost) Nothing"

I've compiled the story and added slightly more detail.

Today I learn that before his music career took off Sir Mix-A-Lot worked in a #pinball arcade, servicing machines.
This causes me and my wife to wonder if we could arrange through Cameo or something for him to come out and do something about the drop targets on our Tri-Zone.
(There is nothing to be done about the drop targets on any Tri-Zone.)

I really hate "self-documenting code" because it's just The Emperor's New Documentation.
Programming code is a communication medium and if you're a good programmer what you're communicating is what the machine does, not how smart you think you are. Tell them what you're gonna tell them (write fucking comments!), tell them (write your code as clear and as simple as possible), and then tell them what you told them (validate constraints and assumptions with assertions).
