If you don't use `bash` as your shell, and want to use someone else's bash scripts, that don't have a shebang at the top, then you should be doing:

```
> bash other_script.sh
```

and not

```
./other_script.sh
```

@rmflight I always `bash` even on my own scripts. This whole "making things executable" feels icky to me.

@drgroftehauge eh, I get it.

People like to "execute" things.

I only remembered this after zsh did some very weird things with executing the bash scripts and produced some odd output.
