Came to say the same thing. Zeno’s paradoxes are fun. 😄

I know groceries are expensive, but damn!

The scam in question, from the article:

McKcraken said he never requested a tree removal service and didn’t want any trees at his Forest Hills house — which he’s trying to sell — removed.

“They’re trying to target vacant houses because the owners won’t know,” he said. “So that they can post themselves as the owner, and the owners won’t be home to stop it and won’t be home to notice it if the tree services do show up.”

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office said the scheme begins with a scammer calling or emailing a tree service company for a quote on how much it would be to cut down trees. After receiving an estimated amount, they send the company a faulty check for more than needed.

Before the company realizes the checks are null and void, the scammer asks the company to pay back the difference.

“They send you a check for $1,500, and they want you to send $500 back to them,” Adam Barbee with Arbor Sense said. “And then that way, they take $500, and you try to go cash the check, and the check is no good.”

How is no one talking about head splitters? Am I the only person who hadn’t heard of these before?

Spices have entered the chat.

I’ve been playing Sail Forth. It’s very basic, but still fairly fun.

It’s not like those Tax Dollars came from the Working Class in the first place!

I want this framed and hanging on my wall.

This is my favorite part of the book. I love how he’s all just, “Italy is winning the war.”

“Until the second half of the twentieth century, mortarboards were often worn by schoolteachers, and the hat remains an icon of the teaching profession.” [source]

So they weren’t saying that he just graduated, they were saying that he was learned (the tortoise even says, “he is the wisest of us all”).

It next cupped hands. Unga bunga.

Not an answer to OP’s question, but I know in PHP there’s at least one error message that’s in Hebrew.

I’d say don’t type out anything you wouldn’t want to send, not even as a joke. On multiple occasions I’ve seen people type a text or email as a joke, and then accidentally send it instead of erase it.

By that same token, don’t send things you wouldn’t want others to see (or perhaps, be aware of unintended audiences). How often do we hear about nudes being shared? In another example, I once worked at a company that had too many bosses, and one of them shit talked me to my boss in an email. They replied back and forth a bit, and then my boss had a question for me about the project they were now discussing, so he forwarded me the entire email chain. I saw exactly what the other boss said about me, and there was no denying he was the one who said it. I immediately and permanently lost all respect for him.

The first computer I remember using was my dad’s IBM PC-XT, but the first computer that was mine was an Apple IIe that my grandfather gave me when he upgraded his own.

I don’t remember how old I was, but probably around 9 or 10. I loved that thing, and I used it for all sorts of stuff. I played games, I made cards and banners with Print Shop Pro, I wrote stories and stuff. That thing was great.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I’m curious to know why, can you explain or point to an article?

Please don’t be Spokane, please don’t be Spokane…

PHEW!

Please stop doing this. Food poisoning from rice can potentially kill you.

ETA: The recipe you suggested sounds crazy good, though.

Considering this is what my podcast is all about, it would be hard to pick just one.
