"Technology" is named after Teknos, the ancient Greek god of disappointment.

Who called it Copilot and not MS-DoS?

My doctor when I report having anxiety and/or depression: "We don't want to go messing about with drugs, have you tried CBT?"

My doctor when I am a half-gram into BMI's obesity categry: "Inject this, and this, and this"

I used to see lads of a certain vintage about, and the eyebrows would be pointing every which-a-way. Me thinking you get to that point and stop caring.

Now that I'm hitting that age, lemme tell you, these eyebrows will not be tamed. My best efforts bounce right off - they point where they want to point. I'm shopping for pomades.

Still not as bad as when I had to start shaving my ears.

Many moons ago, I wrote a program on a friend's CPC 464 to pick six unique random numbers, from 1-36 - lotto numbers.

His oul fella comes in, sees what I'm doing, and quickly jots down what's on screen - computer generated lotto numbers? Guaranteed winner!

A week later I see the oul fella again and he excoriates me. "Them fuckin numbers you gave me were a bag of shite. Your computer program is a load of bollox."

Thankfully no parallels can be drawn between this incident and current trends.

This is what I ended up with, in case you don't feel like reading all that :)

@perigrin Hi! Does your Raylib binding have a public repo?

@perigrin Oh thanks - this was driving me mad!

What did the cop say when they caught a graffiti artist, one renowned for long murals often placed above eye level and depicting a scene or story in a sequence of discrete panels?

"Frieze!"

Just sitting down to dinner (a bag of Banshee Bones).

Did anyone else have the mad banshee's comb thing growing up?

Back in the early-mid 80s, lost and discarded combs on the street were a common thing. If you saw one of these combs, but it had teeth missing, it was a banshee's comb. If you as much as breathed on it, your goose was cooked.

This wasn't some rural business either, I grew up in inner-city Dublin.
