The crunchy chips provide a brilliant textural contrast with the gooey omelet.

"error: src refspec master does not match any."

"You haven't been drafting your emails with AI lately, and that's going to reflect poorly on your next performance review."
"Oh... how could you tell I wasn't using AI to write my emails?"

We can still be friends though, I guess.
I'll drink almost anything but honestly, gin fucking sucks.
Like some gene in your DNA gets flipped where you're like "oh I like gin now... and also killing baby ducks"
I guess it's the alcoholic equivalent of the cilantro-soap thing.
