Tired: “Dogfooding”: Using the software you work on with unbridled happiness and glee, no consideration what it is
Wired: “Catfooding”: Looking at the software and saying “Fuck that shit. I ain’t using that”, and then going for a nap.
Today I learned a spell to TOAST A BAGEL. It is supposed to be a spell to REFORGE A RING but it does not check the ring's MATERIAL, and if you cancel about a second into casting the bagel will NOT be DESTROYED.

For a very brief moment in time, before the last bigger upgrade, I could put my work MBP to sleep with the "Sleep" menu item in the Apple Start menu.
Now it's broken again. IIRC it worked fine the whole time I was on Sonoma.
Also now I'm back to locking the screen, hitting ESC about 7 times, then closing the lid, then hitting ESC 2 more times and then maybe after disconnecting the screens and USB dock in the wrong order 2 more times. Or I just hope it will sleep after some minutes.
Kinda glad I didn't pay money for this.
Does anyone happen to have access to the IBM 59 card verifier reference manual and could provide a scan (it's 38 pages)? Archives only seem to have the physical exhibit. It needs to be the manual for that particular model, not the 56, not the 129. (Boosts welcome)
Antonio Stradivari was a well-respected craftsman but also known to be cantankerous and quick to anger. It was of no surprise to those who knew him that every day he woke up and chose violins.
Bestes Interview im Radio seit langem gehört. Eingeladen ist ein nicht näher spezifizierter Experte:
Reporter: "Wo wirkt sich der Krieg im Iran am stärksten aus?"
Experte: "Im Iran."
