Really fun childrens book series by a Swedish comedian. Great to have unsuspecting guests have read them for your kids too.

The Book That Didn’t Want to Be Read?

I had no idea it had been translated.

To add to this, the image of the grim reaper carrying a scythe first started showing up during the bubonic plague in Europe, where people were dying en masse.

Same with Picasso for me.

Öre comes from Ör which is gravel or a bank or peninsula formed by gravel. Common in Swedish coastal areas. Kungsör, Skanör, Öresund.

I’ve found myself working on a tricky civil engineering project in Scotland, and Every Single Time I write ”peat” I type it P-E-A-T-H-backspace.

USB-C also fits surprisingly well in a USB-A socket. Great feature in the dark.

Number 169.

Who uses V (edit: right, Americans do…) for voltage and small r for resistance?

I like the guy. Really. But haven’t you seen what happens when people from entertainment become president?

The hearing happens way further into the head. The outer ear just helps with sound localization.

It’s like the old saying, ”If USA saw what A was doing to B they would invade C to ’protect D from E.’”

It’s the same reason why ”Violets are blue”.

On the other hand… ”why do things fall down?” Now THERE’S a rabbit hole.

The guy behind the guy behind is holding up a phone or something.

Hi. Welcome to the Internet.

”Thank god for crypto” That hits different now.

One night there was a storm, and Master Wq’s house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.

“Master, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!”

Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.

The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.

“Would you pass me the hammer, master?”

Master Wq handed the novice a saw.

At once, the novice was enlightened.
