I really enjoy catching up with weirdos in the Anomaly in No Man’s Sky, they’re so welcoming and philosophical.

Was it one of those burps that you can see starts in their tummy, then travels up their neck and then just kinda ploops out their mouth while they stare into the distance for a sec…?

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

Me holding the dog so far off the ground that he can’t engage other dogs. He seems to be enjoying the vantage point, scanning for his next victim.

A lot of people say β€œmy dog’s not normally like this!”

Well my dog is like this so much that he has his own handle.

Haha similar sentiment to the other comment - if you’re gonna use regex for text processing, make sure you test the zillions of edge cases! And understand that text processing in general is a deceptively complex subject.

For me it was some random programming books I found next to a Commodore 64 in our closet when I was 10. I guess we bought a c64 at some point and it ended up in the closet? Anyway, destiny established.
