I’m making pies. After a friend shared some photos of their latest pie creations, and some motivational conversation about them, I think I am now committed to making pies today.

The idea of a paperclip involved in jacking off made me cringe more than I would have expected.

This was my favorite song to play on a jukebox back in the day. I could put it on 3 times in a row for a dollar at the local bar, and it would take over the sound system for over half an hour. There are enough transitions in it that it flows back into itself fairly well.

Wow, I learned this bug during a job interview I had this week. I’m not much of a Python guy, but I was givin a Python coding challenge and I tried default initializing a parameter to an empty list. The guy interviewing me looked horrified and explained the problem and sent me an article about it to read later. It’s a odd coincidence coming across it twice in one week.

Good news. After reading the article, it seems like the content and the course will still exist, it is just that Yale has decided that it cant afford to pay ULA’s to support the class.

For those who just want to learn, the course content can still be found here: https://www.edx.org/cs50

Yep, I love it. I told my wife about it and she thinks I’m crazy.

Mice don’t go inside for food, the go in for shelter and then find food. Not having food won’t make them leave. As long as you have a warm place to stay, they are going to stick around unless you help them leave.

Fuck yeah, I’d wear a cloak.

I loved my Jelly Star until the screen on it failed. Trying to get it fixed under warranty seemed practically impossible so eventually I just gave up and went back to my old phone.

You’re right I somehow missed it in my skim of the comments.

Good suggestion, thanks. I’m not always sure what area I’m going to be working in, but there’s almost always a convenience store around.

Sausage is not something that comes to mind when I think about a bouquet.

Homemade pasta fagioli.

This is long but worth the watch. It is a lawyer and a police officer giving specific details on why you should never talk to the police.

I’ve a small fractured chunk of cast iron from the first vehicle I replaced an engine in.

I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don’t watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.

Similar to the nail polish suggestion, they also make clear spray paint.

Just wear loud clothing so everyone can always tell when you’re moving. Something like corduroy pants, a windbreaker or a cowbell.

After 30+ years, I finally bought myself a nice pair of left handed scissors.

If I’m being honest, I’m so used to right handed ones, that the lefty ones feel wrong anyway.

Back when automated toll booths had baskets to throw coins in, I could easily pay tolls at around 45 mph.

EZ pass eventually became a thing, probably saved me from my own young stupidity.
