Not a specific command, but I learned recently you can just dump any executable script into ~/bin and run it from the terminal.
I suffer greatly from analysis paralysis, I have a very hard time making decisions especially if there’s many options. So I wrote a script that reads a text file full of tasks and just picks one. It took me like ten minutes to write and now I spend far more time doing stuff instead of doing nothing and feeling badly that I can’t decide what to do.
I say blow your free healthcare on something frivolous and fun.
See if they’ll swap your left kidney with your right one.
The friggin’ dogs in Resident Evil.
I have a kind of funny story about that. I was too young to be playing RE when it came out, but that didn’t stop me from sneaking it out of my dad’s collection of grownup games to try it anyway.
So there’s this well known jump scare, probably in the first fifteen minutes as you say where you’re running down a hallway and suddenly some dogs jump through these glass windows. I screamed, fumbled the controller, and was eaten by dogs. Might have been the first jump scare of my life.
So I hadn’t hit a save point, so you have to start the game over. So I decide to just leave the mansion through the front door instead of going out that way. And you get a cutscene where a dog jumps through the door and you have to wrestle it away.
I still haven’t played the game since.
But my wife and I are a big fan of the series, so eventually we decided to marathon them on the condition that she plays RE1. She’s playing the remake and goes into the room where the dogs jump through the windows and I’m holding my breath waiting for it to happen. Only it doesn’t.
So I’m a little disappointed, but I figure it’s a remake so maybe they’re switching things up a bit and going to put the jump scare somewhere else in the mansion.
Sooner or later you have to backtrack through that corridor though, and on like the third time going through this “safe” corridor the dogs jump through the window. She screams, fumbles the controller, and is eaten by dogs.
Seven-year-old me was vindicated that my adult wife also got punked and I’m not alone.
I genuinely thought erudite was a noun. Thanks, TIL
I’ll take a crack at this one. For what it’s worth, I think the first couple are just loanwords from another language which sometimes gets used incorrectly, and the last three are uncommon words in conversation. Know your audience.
“This isn’t a meeting about the budget per se”
“This isn’t exactly a meeting about the budget”
“The victim met their demise vis a vis poodle attack”
“The victim met their demise by way of poodle attack.”
“Steve’s a real erudite.”
“Steve’s a real reader.”
“Tom and Jerry is a fun cartoon because of the juxtaposition of the relationship between cat and mouse.”
“Tom and Jerry is a fun cartoon because of the oppositeness of the relationship between cat and mouse”
“I don’t understand, can you elucidate on that?”
“I don’t understand, can you explain?”
I’m here to plug for Godot, it’s the best engine I’ve used to date.
Unity can suck a lemon. The squeeze has already begun, and if they’re walking back the runtime fee then they must have plans on something else.
I was fortunate to not only have a typing class in school, but also the only computer game my grandma had was Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing. Now I type for a living, so hey, I guess it must have paid off.
If you’re already a hunt and peck typer, your brain wants to look at the keyboard to confirm where the key is before you press it. When learning touch typing, you’ll want to shift your focus from the keyboard to the screen.
There are formal methodologies for learning where the keys are in relation to your fingers, but imo the most important thing is to not look at the keyboard. No matter what you end up typing, it’s pretty easy to find backspace and try again. Your eyes verify on the screen if your fingers are giving the correct output, and your fingers find their way eventually.
Many students did benefit from having their hands visually obscured from them when typing. If you find you keep looking at the keyboard then you might want to look into that.
I’m definitely writing useless git commit messages
For work, I at least include the Jira ticket id
For personal stuff, it’s sweeping features stuffed into one commit that barely describes what was changed
Just so you have a heads up:
If you use yt-dlp like a regular user, you shouldn’t have a problem. If you use it to download like a thousand videos at once then YouTube may block you out or rate limit you or something.
If that happens, or that’s your use case, then you may need to use a VPN
Imagine learning divination magic to be able to detect copper wire
If you’ve never tried it before, a grilled cheese sandwich cut into your favourite shapes just calls out to be dipped in ketchup. And if ketchup is too much, a creamy tomato soup is also acceptable.
I second this.
I’d eat a peanut butter sandwich without the jelly, but I don’t think I’d ever eat just a jelly sandwich.
Similar question for cheese and ketchup, you’d be more likely to eat a cheese sandwich without ketchup than a ketchup sandwich without cheese
I recommend Dusk to people just for the music.
I mean, the game is good too, but the soundtrack just goes so hard
This is a mutation of an anti-piracy campaign. The text usually reads “You wouldn’t steal a car” an then asks why you would download a movie.
I would totally download a car though.
In a statement shared with GameSpot, Humble Games confirmed that Humble Bundle will have "no impact on its operations. Additionally, ongoing and upcoming games from Humble Games will still move ahead and be published by the company.
“Yeah, we just laid everyone off, but it’s business as usual, nothing will change for the consumer.”
I also have a USB stick on my keys. Mostly I keep books I’m reading, favorite movies, stuff like that. Then when I’m hanging out with friends later and we’re talking about what we’re watching I have it all ready to share.
Dominos used to be the cheapest pizza in town. Then we got a Little Caesars that was much cheaper.
I was eating the cheapest pizza, so it’s Little Caesars for me. A couple years later they get shutdown for gross (heh) health code violations.
I no longer get Little Caesars, and that made me rethink getting the cheapest pizza. Now I prefer my local pizzeria.
