ruby is terrible shit and its packaging is awful and syntax more sugar than sense
phph is a mistake
perl is old shit
python is less shit but still kind of shit

Rosemary Kirstein's second novel, The Outskirter's Secret, is out in paperback. I read it in ebook form a few years ago.

If you haven't read the series, pick it up from book 1 in your format of choice. If you have, but you like having physical artifacts on bookshelves, pick up the new edition.

I took the plunge and ordered a nintendo switch. I hope BotW is as good as everybody says!

status: really, really wanting to pick up a switch and BOTW. But also this video is pretty good, asking the question "where does the game *reside*" which had not occurred to me before.

the last bit of the ornament (which is the bottom) came out a bit weird... time lapse video of the printing process below.

I'm not a big christmas person, but I love how christmas ornaments are an excuse to things to give away . Yesterday, an ornament with 6 nested stars (below and thingiverse.com/thing:579088).

Next up, a "twisty" ornament thingiverse.com/thing:2672997

anyone have recommendations for good, super easy to use wiki or documentation software or services?

i have a team of non-technical folks and want to gather the onboarding and reference docs for them. probably less than 30 pages of stuff, so mediawiki is heavy-handed (and a bit ugly), but google docs is a bit messy and i have to send invites, etc.

what tools do you all fancy for team stuff?

Setting: a beautiful futuristic skyscraper-jungle-city.

Criminals have figured out how to suborn governmental controls on the cloning/life extension vats, which every wealthy person has at home.

When targeted by the criminal gang, a rich old guy comes out of the process as a big fat lazy tabby cat, and a criminal takes on their appearance, identity, and (of course) wealth.

I, a junior officer in the secret tech police, stumble on their operation, but I'm caught and killed.

If my companion is wearing "fortify carry weight" items, can I actually hand them more junk to carry for me? Yes, and the story of gameplay in the bet answer is amusing.

Guy from Spectrum just knocked on my door.

He said, "I'm from Spectrum. You're one of just a very few on <My> Street who isn't a Spectrum subscriber, and Spectrum has sent me to you to find out why that is."

Bad approach. Super creepy and off putting.

Good evening. Today, I was amazingly bisexual.
