teaching that MIDI note 60 is middle C as a reference point:

- 60? least memorable number ever
- that's like 261.32whatever Hz, what even is that
- middle?? no one has been able to afford an 88 key keyboard for centuries

teaching that MIDI note 69 is A4 as a reference point:

- 440 Hz baby, that's a tuning standard
- i'll remember it until i die
- ehuehuehuehue

Once read "consuming media is not a hobby" and that destroyed me. I think about it every single day.

"The trams have also been described by the RTBU as 'cheap as chips', following allegations that swaying and lateral forces at 'speeds above 25 km/h' were causing driver injuries."

I'm guessing there's a buried memory of trying to translate Jarritos?

I was walking home from work and an Irish word popped into my head – crúiscín. I liked the sound of it, but I couldn't remember the meaning. I wasn't sure it was even a real word. it must have been significant though – I had to stop and look it up.

it means: a small jar.

…okay. :angery:

The weirdest thing to me about CORS is that you can't whitelist multiple sites in the same Access-Control-Allow-Origin header. It's either "*" or exactly one site.

So the standard solution is to echo back the referrer site, but only if it's whitelisted. "Ah yes foo.com, you are my one and only. I only allow requests from you." "Ah yes bar.com, you are my one and only. I only allow..." It's bizarre.
