Flashbacks to the shitty amateur trivia night where they asked for Gandhi's given name. I convinced my table to write down Mohandas instead of Mahatma. My absolute nerd rage when they tried to give everyone a point except us! 😤
In the end they gave everyone a point which felt even worse, somehow.

When I'm president of the universe, anyone who makes a link which overrides Cmd+Click to open in the current tab instead of a new tab, will be immediately fired into the sun.
Same for those who implement links as <button>s.

Why is it *de*-oderant but *anti*-perspirant? De- implies removal, anti- implies prevention. Shouldn't it be antioderant? Deo won't help if you already stink, the only true deodorant is a shower.

We should get rid of the 5 cent coin. Then we actually don't need cents at all, we only need decs. The 10/20/50 cent coins would become 1/2/5 dec coins. Prices wouldn't be like $3.40, they'd be like $3.4. No need for the extra decimal place. Could be fun.

Actually the best life advice I ever got: Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly. A half-cleaned room is better than an uncleaned room. Occasionally flossing is better than never flossing. A 10-minute workout is better than no workout. When it’s all you can do to get out of bed, get out of bed.

There was an Indian / Sri Lankan /Malaysian place near me which use to do THE BEST masala dosa in the freaking world.
Family owned joint, it was there for yonks. Stayed takeaway-only post-lockdown, then they sold the restaurant, it went downhill and it eventually shut. Devastated.

I don't want to hear about your lost loves, tell me about the restaurant food that haunts you because you'll never be able to taste it again

I don't need an AI coding assistant. What I need is a pull-request tool that can tell me when code has *moved*, either up/down or to another file.
