I want an animated show of the Stormlight Archives. Something in the style of the Netflix Castlevania series or similar. I don’t think a live action show could do it justice without an insane budget.

Which is literally just German for Bavarian Motor Works.

Basically me every time I open a website on my work laptop, where I cannot add browser extensions because of IT policies.

I honestly cannot fathom why large companies don’t include at least simple adblockers in their browser configurations. I don’t even need to block youtube ads, the banners on stackoverflow are bass enough). Would probably save fairly significant amounts of bandwidth, too.

Not sure of that is real marble, but here’s a random PSA anyway:

Don’t put marble anywhere close to anywhere you might spill anything remotely resembling acid. You can literally etch that stuff with OJ.

The trick with nicknames is using them in alphabetical order.

You can prefix the coordinates with the name of the current nearest star or center of galaxy.

Universal coordinates are fairly useless anyway, given how everything moves around in space.

I’m fond of ruff lately. Pretty much the same as black, but it just comes with the linter instead of being separate tools.

Just make another PR where you add formatter instructions to the readme and pyproject.toml.

A knife in close quarters is insanely dangerous. Using guns against an attacker with a knife is not really an escalation.

That said, the situation should never have escalated to the point where there is someone attacking with a knife.

The jupyter console is just a better version of the interactive shell. Great for just trying out some lines of code.

I also use notebooks at work to try out some APIs, to skip the tedium of the initial setup or some other routines.

Through the glory of the former empire, most English accents are technically British.

John Powell’s opening for How to Train your Dragon deserves a shoutout for including every major Leitmotiv of the movie.

I’ll let someone smarter go into 18 minutes of more detail here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4UUJQH7GLms

I recently had an important package get rerouted to a pickup box, but the incompetent driver (who did not even manage to reply “hello package” on the intercom) forgot to leave the retrieval card in my mailbox.

After searching the DHL website for a contwct option for way longer than it should take, I saw a small note stating that their chatbot can give you retrieval codes, so I decided to try that.

It was not AI powered, but provided prompts to click, or asked for very specific short replies like the tracking number. Similar to an automated phone system but with text. I took a wrong turn at some point and had to start over, but it actually worked really well and I got the code after about 3 minutes.

Bought a cheap 5€ safety razor some years back and liked it. I kept cutting my face, but I thought I’m just too stupid to shave.

Bought a 20€ razor later on. Turns out I’m not stupid, the 5€ one was just bad.
