Probably my favorite realization in life was that I might be wrong. Always, no matter how confident, we are all wrong sometimes. Even about the most basic facts, we could be wrong because brains are weird. So, I just try and minimize that while recognizing it.

scootin n’froody for anybody wondering about pronunciation.

Blind faith runs into things.

This American Life has nearly 30 years of excellent content. I know it is popular so maybe not worth mentioning, but I think there is a good reason this OG is still around. It is superb. So many little hidden gems.

One of my favorites is the first section of What Lies Beneath:

A beloved drawing goes missing from Mr. Ablao’s third grade classroom. The class holds a funeral for the drawing, which accidentally unleashes a much bigger feeling than anyone anticipated.

But there are many, many more.

Yes, and as I suggest below, no adaptation has been made for all the books in the series. A movie named after the last book but seemingly not based on any of them was made. It shares a name with one of several books but that is all the is shared. So there are several books in the series to adapt.

Okay smarty pants… then I’ll happily point out the “Dark Tower” book is the final book, which wasn’t even really covered at all except for tertiary references to breakers. So, an adaptation for each of those that precede it? Does that pass muster?

That movie had very little to do with the actual story aside from a few references. And without Eddie, Susannah, and a well-danced Commala I’ll never be satisfied.

What is that cutie mark? Some app icon?

I use this toggle script in conjunction with a MacOS Shortcut that changes the system light/dark setting often. When the sun shines l, dark just doesn’t cut it sometimes.

I don’t either, but you don’t have to use that feature. I don’t. I just use with local db for that machine.

I use fish with atuin but without sync. It is nice because I can search commands for a given workspace. For example the commands within a given git repository.

Also, atuin.sh.

There is no USB-B here and it is pretty hard to get the wrong direction anyway.

Six since it has A at both ends.

Maybe The Shadow Rising or A Memory of Light, but I’d prefer if I could have the whole Wheel of Time series.

Forgot to add the why. Because they are incredible fantasy novels with rich characters, fascinating world building, and a well-defined magic with a system of deference that I really like.

Also, The Expanse is a competitor in my mind. Different stories by miles but similarly worth reading on a loop.

If you can write a moderately complex math equation in tex on the first try, you’re a programmer in my book.

I guess I’m just lucky, but I’ve gotten nothing but thoughtful support on Arch forums and Stackoverflow. If you read the article How do I ask a good question?, it works very well. It seems harsh but coming with poorly thought out questions without debugging details makes it impossible to help.
