Gianni Schicchi (the operatic precursor to Weekend at Bernie's)

Oh dang, I never knew about the !! shortcut. I especially like it for the sudo example, because when it complains I don't have permission, I can basically yell at it.

Add Home/End buttons into your work flow to jump to the start or end of lines. Works with holding Shift as well.

For me, one of the biggest things was removing all the visual noise from my desktop. Disable notifications, disable or hide unused taskbar elements, and on Windows, get rid of the patently awful ticker thing that lives on the taskbar. Disable window animations.

I did the same thing on my phone, too, including disabling pop-up notifications, toasts, floating bubbles, and animations. My brain is much happier for it.

And for those who can't be bothered, opening vim is like the digital version of a finger trap.

It almost sounds like a kind of social paranoia. Pretty common among kids that get bullied a lot (when another well-meaning kid is nice, the bullied kid responds aggressively, assuming the nice kid is trying to set them up). Not sure if there's a more specific term though.

The secret ingredient then was the same as it is today.

Slave labor.

Yeah, American candy has about the lowest standards. Canada isn't much better, but there's a noticeable difference in the quality of chocolate in common chocolate bars. We once did a side-by-side comparison of KitKats (we live right on the border) and the difference was stunning.

My wife looked it up. It's a hard licorice candy with a salty filling from the Netherlands called Napolean Zwart-Wit (which loosely translates to "tarred scrotum").

I got a monthly food box for my wife a number of years ago. Each month they sent snacks from a different country.

I can't remember which country it was from, but one month we got some round, hard candies. It was one of the most unfortunate things I have ever intentionally put into my mouth.

I don't even remember the flavor (licorice, maybe?), because my brain attempted to bleach it out.

Everything else was usually tasty, though.

How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.
