Just realized "Godbolt is the programmer, not the tool" is the new "Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster"
There's a Polish meme about sci-fi written by Lem vs sci-fi written by Bioware. I don't think it is a known meme. It should be a known meme.

So the webpage for Decathlon Spain has a signup form where it asks what country you're from, and someone didn't check the country list very carefully, because for me it says my country is "gamuza"

"Gamuza" is a word sometimes used in Spanish to name the cloth called "suede" in English.

Why would that be in a country list, you ask?

Well, in French, Sweden is called Suède 🤦🏻‍♂️

Watching this video about Kiki's Delivery Service English dubbing, and halfway through it turns into a sociological analysis of the gift economy, and of how capitalism twists our minds so much that gifts become an almost alien concept.

Absolutely fantastic. It's also made me realize a gift economy is how I want to build community around me. No worrying about monetary value. Just caring about the folks around you.

Had a whacky dream tonight. Dreamt I met these two wholesome guys that had been race car drivers in the 70's.

They were famous because they couldn't stand seeing broken cars, so they would stop to fix other cars in the middle of a race. Like one time when they stopped to fix Dolly Parton's car and she won the race.

Also, one of them was the driver, the other one was the _bongo player_. The bongo player was there "to keep the driver honest, so he doesn't drive too risky and ends up dying".

@aachrisg no, it's actually named after his angular face
I used to think the heaviside function (x>=0)?1:0 was called that because it's "heavy" on one side and empty on the other. It's actually named after mathematician Oliver Heaviside.

Just learned there was a new Google udm code discovered. So you know what I had to do.

Still kicking in on the DNS front, but it’s already up.
