On a serious note, Jews have a concept "Minhag HaMakom" which means "the custom of the place," and one is supposed to follow Minhag HaMakom in order to keep peace and tranquility in our lives.
Note: Minhag HaMakom only applies to customs (like taking one's shoes off) and not to laws (ie. a custom cannot be used to justify horrible acts).

- A Wall Street Journal opinion piece that I've edited. It was originally titled "Here's why I'll be keeping my shoes on in your shoeless home," and subtitled "Why are you assuming that your guests' shoes are dirtier than your floors?" I've crossed out sections and added new text so that it reads "Here's why I'll be a shitty house guest," and subtitled "Why are you assuming that I want to be invited back to your place?" It's originally by Kris Frieswick and has a cartoon of people's legs, some with shoes and some with socks (remote)

with Rust coding, I find I am constantly having to scratch my head at the compiler complaints & the VSCode/CoPilot suggestions for edits. with D coding, I look at the docs & examples & I understand what is going on enough to immediately write my own code that “just runs right, right away”. I do not need/use generative AI support to code, and frankly the code I turn out is clearer, cleaner, shorter, and probably faster that way.
for sure, that way I actually know what I’m doing next time I code.

I am very happy (so far) with my decision to put learning-Rust-while-writing-in-Rust aside & instead write this service I am working on in the D programming language. I was about as far into learning D as I was into learning Rust when I started this project up, and I find that D code is *way* easier for me to read (in tutorials & examples) & to write (without having to wrestle with the borrow-checker), & to understand/apply immediately to what I am working on.

The controversy over the Great Red Spot had lasted for centuries. Was it a single endless storm, or merely (if anything sixteen thousand klicks across can be “mere”!) a series of storms that came and went.
The question was more than academic for the inhabitants of Olympus City, floating above the Jovian cloud deck, supplying helium and honeymoons to the rest of the Solar system. The notion that a storm of that size might form on radically brief timescale was a potential existential threat.
The /Creti/ expedition took over five weeks to reach the Spot from Olympus’s equatorial location, three dirigibles powered by ammonia-breathing ramjets. Two of the craft—/Bellona/ and /Lucina/— held back to observe and relay data while the third—/Minerva/—flew over the spot, preparing to descend into the Eye.
Back at Olympus, the scientists of /Creti/ were held rapt by the telemetry feed and radio transmissions from /Minerva/.
“We’re beginning descent from nominal zero level. One kilometre…two…ten”. It would be a long night but nobody thought of sleep. Eventually: “One hundred and twenty kilometers; we have reached the vertical midpoint of the storm. Conditions here at the eye are stable, we are launching probes now.”
Olympus hung on every word and datum.
“Oh. Oh no. Olympus we have a problem”
Through the confused babble in the control room a few phrases stood out:
“It’s breaking up”
“It’s not a storm, it’s a swarm”
“They’re heading your way”

- A comic captioned “science cat” The first panel shows a black cat wearing a lab coat walking upright holding a pen and a clipboard. The following panels show the pen poking a cup, the cup falling and the cup smashing on the ground. The following panel shows the cat scientist with a thought bubble: “once again the experiment confirmed my hypothesis, but further research in this area is required”. The last panel shows the cat scientis thinking “I love science” (remote)

Kitty met the house pups. The older dog Storm, took a sniff, and went to take a nap. But Sass the younger dog was very excited, and a bit nervous. Sass really wants to play, and gave the kitten a tongue bath, but gets jumpy when she mews. Overall she seems happy to not be the youngest anymore.

Y'all, my brother and his boyfriend were staying at this Dairy B&B, and the barn cat had kittens. This one kitten kept wanting to be petted and held, and the owner said they could take it if they wanted it. I can barely handle this much cuteness!

Check the page-source and try to understand how ti shows the time ON its own js code.
Mastodon FeedJust imagine being taken seriously as a customer. Not having to send emails back and forth for several weeks, getting back only templated responses. Not seeing them attempting everything in the book to eventually just weasel out of helping you.
Shut up and take my money, Prusa, keep doing what you're doing!
Mastodon FeedEvery time I contact Prusa's support it becomes harder and harder to justify buying from another brand. It's simply outstanding.
They actually helped identify & fix my problem. Even if it meant sending me a free replacement part. For a machine that's two years out of warranty.
I know competitors seemingly offer better value for money, but that support experience is worth every cent.
