I regret to inform you that I have been romantically involved with someone at my office.

Which is my house.

It’s my wife.

Really she’s the one suffering here.

Did the speed runners ever get through the castle barrier early in Twilight Princess?

Apparently it’s about to go login-only, so that’s good. Force me to break the habit, and nothing of value will be lost.

Still though, if anyone knows any good places for random, ostensibly true, ghost stories, lemme know.

(I know they’re not true. You know they’re not true. The ghosts know they’re not true. The authors may or may not know they’re not true. But I want to believe while I eat hot chip and drink beer.)

I haven’t had a Reddit account in years but I still doomscroll over there occasionally.

My god, does *anyone* over there like their spouse/significant other?

Also the usual sources of ghost stories over there have dried up and/or turned into cesspools of slop (yeah they were bullshit before but at least it was human-generated bullshit).

I don’t know where to get my fix on stuff-I-don’t-believe-in-but-have-fun-reading-about anymore.

And, again, apparently everyone hates their spouse now.

rebol.net is gone, it’s a typosquat now. The REBOL 3 git repo had its last commit 12 years ago.

What could have been.

I sent this to my wife and she really honestly tried but just cannot understand why I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. Like she was just confused as to why anyone would think it was funny.

Look at this asshole.

Could I write a script that given a Japanese verb poops put a graphviz/dot DAG of the agglutination patterns for the verb?

I mean. I can do the scripting part. I just don’t know if Japanese verb conjugation/agglutination is that regular.

(Also I regret to inform you that I am back on my bullshit.)

Whatever Apple is doing with autocorrect is really bad; combined with the abysmal caret management means that typing on an iPhone is remarkably unpleasant even by mobile standards. I regularly get “autocorrected” to grammatically incorrect sentences from correct ones, the word “Alamo” seems to be the primary suggestion whenever I type an “a” (I suppose it does remember the Alamo), and it autocorrected my wife’s name to nonsense yesterday
