You know you've done something wrong in a past life when regex101.com makes its way into the top row of your suggested browser shortcuts.

Seeing GitHub Copilot stuff baffles me. I get irate when Visual Studio tries to indent my code, let alone write my code for me.

I've just had to go up to the loft to patch up the gaps left by lost slates with poly pockets in attempt to stop the rain from dripping through the ceiling 2 floors below. How's your 4am going?
