Did you know that "git checkout -" works much like "cd -" and switches back and forth between two branches?

"I put my hammer down," Thor said, "knowing only someone worthy could lift it,"
"Did someone steal it?"
"Would a worthy person steal?"
"So where is it?"
Thor stared into the distance. "A dog took it."
"Won't it return to you?"
"Not while it's held by someone worthy."

My Ultimate Sonic the Hedgehog take is that they should have changed the series to "Sonic, A Hedgehog" when they started introducing more of them.

If you ever think for an instant that misogyny in gaming is new, remember that there was an uproar when the Queen was added to chess in Europe because she was a "powerful female figure".

<< Duncan Watts - "For 20 years I thought my job was as a basic scientist. Publish papers and throw them over the wall for someone else to apply. I now realise that there's no one on the other side of the wall. Just a huge pile of papers that we've all thrown over." #IC2S2 >>

There are two wolves inside of you. You swallowed the wolves to catch the cats, you swallowed the cats to catch the birds, you swallowed the birds to catch the spiders (Which wriggled and wiggled and jiggled inside you), you swallowed the spiders to catch the flies, and I don't know why you swallowed two flies.

Dear white, male, cis, straight allies in tech: We need you out there de-radicalizing your racist, sexist techbros friends and coworkers (who are much more likely to listen to you than any of us) more than we need your code. Thank you.
Replayed Portal and Portal 2 recently. They hold up! The original better than the sequel, IMO.
