Give me coins for the offering
Keep me tithing
Give me coins for the offering, I pray
Give me coins for the offering
Keep me tithing
Keep me tithing to the break of day

(Chorus)

Give me heating for my baptism
Stop me shivering
Give me heating for my baptism, I pray
Give me heating for my baptism
Stop me shivering
Stop me shivering, all jolly day

(Chorus)

Give me grace for my errors
Let me human
Give me grace for my errors, I pray
Give me grace for my errors
Let me human
Let me human 'till the break of day

(Chorus)

Give me notes for my margins
Keep me studying
Give me notes for my margins, I pray
Give me notes for my margins
Keep me studying
Keep me studying to the break of day #fun #reblog #thingy

Great, my script was being unreliable because on Ubuntu 24.04.4 bash version 5.2.21(1)-release the test [ -n "$THINGY" ] was sometimes returning false for an empty string, but [ 0 -eq ${#THINGY} ] is reliable.

As in I have a loop running the same code for a dozen inputs and about half the time it inappropriately skips the section. For no reason I can find. And no, it's not 100% reliable WHICH ones fail if I run it twice.

There are reasons I no longer use ubuntu, but alas other people do...

Indeed. Always works. A sign of linguistic failure, magically turned into an emblem of intellectual superiority. Works every time.

"Mayday" by Thingy from 2000. Not about Mayday per se, but it always pops in my head around this time.

Word of the Day: DOOMAWHICHIT — a thingy, a doo-dah, a whatchamacallit, a thingamabob, an oofer-doofer, a wotsit.
