Time to call Kevin Bacon

Yes!

This one said to me “You can’t get away while I’m under the gas pedal.” It was a (confirmed) stray barn cat. The most lovely and patient cat i ever knew.

“🙂”.reverse() == “🙃”

I don’t even know what my goals are.

Hehe, I’ll have a read on that thread.

Honestly, it’s a really nice piece! I should’ve waited until I was fully awake before posting 😞

It made me think about that porm “rhyme of the old mariner”, where sailors were stuck on a calm sea (no wind at all, I’m not sure what’s the real sailing term for that).

Let’s say you buy a disk that contains a movie. You din’t buy the right to watch that movie forever, because if the disk breaks, you need to buy a new copy.

However, we could argue that this is just a symptom of a short industry… If my backpack breaks, even after 10 years, the company will replace it free of charge!

When the completed manuscript exceeded 600,000 words, Cerf asked Rand to make cuts, but backed off when she compared the idea to cutting the Bible.

Wow, I didn’t know this author, and it seems I wasn’t missing much.

There’s also xlwings. The free tier does just that: run python code in Excel, and no cloud is required!

Akureyri is an awesome city. You should visit it!
