I’ll just leave this here…

Came to say the same thing. Zeno’s paradoxes are fun. 😄

Spices have entered the chat.

Whenever I’m talking with someone about my podcast and they ask, “can I find it on Spotify?” a little part of me dies.

Like, yes it’s available on Spotify, because it’s available everywhere. But I strongly dislike what Spotify tried to do to podcasting, and there are much better apps out there.

Someone once came into my department’s office and started chewing me out for not getting a task done on time. My boss literally stepped in between me and the other person and told them, “we’ll do our due diligence and get back to you,” and then insisted they leave the office.

He and I then checked, and I had completed the task both correctly and on time. Someone else in a different department dropped the ball.

My boss then went to the office of the person who had yelled at me and gave them what-for.

This is my favorite part of the book. I love how he’s all just, “Italy is winning the war.”

Not an answer to OP’s question, but I know in PHP there’s at least one error message that’s in Hebrew.

I’d say don’t type out anything you wouldn’t want to send, not even as a joke. On multiple occasions I’ve seen people type a text or email as a joke, and then accidentally send it instead of erase it.

By that same token, don’t send things you wouldn’t want others to see (or perhaps, be aware of unintended audiences). How often do we hear about nudes being shared? In another example, I once worked at a company that had too many bosses, and one of them shit talked me to my boss in an email. They replied back and forth a bit, and then my boss had a question for me about the project they were now discussing, so he forwarded me the entire email chain. I saw exactly what the other boss said about me, and there was no denying he was the one who said it. I immediately and permanently lost all respect for him.

The first computer I remember using was my dad’s IBM PC-XT, but the first computer that was mine was an Apple IIe that my grandfather gave me when he upgraded his own.

I don’t remember how old I was, but probably around 9 or 10. I loved that thing, and I used it for all sorts of stuff. I played games, I made cards and banners with Print Shop Pro, I wrote stories and stuff. That thing was great.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I’m curious to know why, can you explain or point to an article?

Please stop doing this. Food poisoning from rice can potentially kill you.

ETA: The recipe you suggested sounds crazy good, though.

Considering this is what my podcast is all about, it would be hard to pick just one.

To be fair, it’s only Day 1 for the Switch. I’ve been playing on PC for quite awhile.

The game is fantastic! I have about 200 hours into it already.

Technology Connections is great!

The Memory Palace - Short, surprising stories of the past, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes hysterical, often a little bit of both.

Cautionary Tales with Tim Harford - Stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, and hilarious fiascos. They’ll delight you, scare you, but also make you wiser.

I Spy - True stories told by spies who steal secrets, kill adversaries, and turn agents into double agents. Each episode features one spy telling one dramatic story. Unfortunately, this show seems to be defunct. Still an interesting listen, though!

Limetown - A 22 episode fictional story about the mysterious disappearance of over 300 people from a small town in Tennessee.

The Other Half - Two friends watch the same movie—except one only watches the first half, and the other only watches the second half. Then they get together and discuss the film, and try to figure out the context of what they saw.

Hey Riddle Riddle - My favorite podcast at the moment. Three improvisers answer riddles some of the time, and goof off most of the time. They do improvised scenes and have a good time.

Twenty Thousand Hertz - The stories behind the world’s most recognizable and interesting sounds. It’s basically 99% Invisible, but for audio.

What Roman Mars Can Learn About Con Law - Particularly interesting if you live in the U.S., this show takes a look at modern issues and controversies through the lens of constitutional law. You’d think a podcast about legal matters would be dry and obtuse, but the show really is geared for a non-legal-minded audience.

Almost Plausible - My own podcast! A couple of friends and I friends take an ordinary object, such as a pillow, or a ceiling fan, or a toilet brush, and we come up with a movie plot where that object plays a central or critical role. Note: At the time of posting, we have just released our Halloween episode, which breaks from the regular format. So if you go listen to the Pumpkin episode, although it’s an entertaining one, it’s not representative of the show.
