Maybe most of our problems metaphorically boil down to "The wrong Amazon is on fire".

You know those really annoying websites that ask you to fill out a form but they won’t let you paste? So you have to (for example) carefully type a long bank account number by hand instead of just pasting it?

Turns out there are browser extensions that can prevent specified sites from turning off paste.

Don't F*** With Paste

Prevents the blocking of copying from & pasting into input fields

Bad game idea of the day: Platformer levels full of spikes, but instead of being able to jump five times your own height, you have to build scaffolding, using the spikes as anchor points. You work for a company who is removing the spikes to recycle the metal for construction projects, and the goal of each level is to retrieve as many of the spikes as you can, without having your scaffolding collapse.
My first-ever release with build artifacts! Comments welcome with the explicit caveat that this is, indeed, a disgusting hack. https://github.com/agmlego/pyURtimehack/releases/tag/v1.0

@vyr To the observer you're just on the couch looking at your phone. Unmoving.
But suddenly the entire house is lit up in "I'm very horny" pink.
Days like these when I wonder if an AU me who did not get pressured into engineering would be in a better life situation as a tradeswoman machinist.

It was a lovely intersection of difficult materials (400-series stainless), precision (there are several bad things that happen if things inside the housing get hit with an endmill), and difficult requirements ("no" chips can be left in the housing, the housing cannot be opened, the housing cannot be flushed with water).

I was happy as a clam. Very satisfying work.

I did some very good work yesterday, doing some rework on $employer hardware.
