Still discovering new shell tricks.

TIL: Substitutions.

`cmd <(cat file)` invokes `cmd` with the first parameter being a named pipe (e.g. `/dev/fd/22`) which contains the contents of `file`.

Example use-case: You wanna diff two files, but they are binary so need disassembling

@TonyStark

President Biden will not stop working for the country he dearly loves until his last day in office.

Whereas the GOP will return Monday after six weeks off and the chatter has already begun about shutting down the government on 9/30/24.

Vote accordingly.

Story idea: a poltergeist tries screwing around with an ADHD'er who lives alone. Moving objects around, opening the cabinets, the usual.

After months of this, the poltergeist realizes the ADHD'er has been blaming themselves for all the occurrences

It's only when the poltergeist starts helping the ADHD'er that the real fright begins

(but then that settles down and they become weird friends)
