This was basically the plot of Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.

Or “Wagpn Wheel”.

Don’t forget to yell out “Free Bird” you clever bastards.

I always liked to mic check with “pop-, pop-, popsicle, ice-, ice-, icicle, test-, test-, testing 1-2-3…”

It truly is the forgotten pandemic.

Correct, the source of the fever was never specified, all we know is that the only prescription was more cowbell. This was a real concern for the CDC and the WHO at the time, but the fever appeared to subside on May 21, 1976, when the song “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” was released by the Blue Oyster Cult, potentially saving millions of lives.

What do they do, make you take a urine test to see if you’re topped up? That’s lunacy.

There’s this thing in Canada that most grocers belong to called the Retail Council of Canada’s Scanner Price Accuracy Code where basically if the price that shows up on the scanner when you’re paying for your stuff is inaccurate and it’s higher than the stated price on the shelf or in the flyers that you get the item for free or up to $10 off if the price is greater than $10. This would presumably not fly here if they tried upping the price on you at the cashier or the self-serve scanners.

So, pro tip to Canadians: watch what you’re paying at the scanner, ‘cause you can get a pile of stuff for free if you’re paying attention.

This one’s even faster, in fact.

But forget that, let’s talk about these Nano Cats.

They could just play music to fill the time.

My favourite is when you’re reading documentation for an API or an SDK or whatever and the examples show things like “2024-05-05” as the date where they’re both the same number and you can’t discern it at all. Like, use Halloween or Christmas or something as the date so it’s always obvious, eh?

You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.

Yeah, basically. You get the same flavour but in a powdered form. Imagine opening a bag of chips and getting a soggy mess of liquid vinegar. It would be chaos. Its probably cheaper too, but I don’t know shit about chip manufacturing.

He’s a poet, he’s a picker
He’s a prophet, he’s a pusher
He’s a pilgrim and a preacher, and a problem when he’s stoned
He’s a walkin’ contradiction, partly truth and partly fiction,
Takin’ ev’ry wrong direction on his lonely way back home.

The Pilgrim, Chapter 33

The code directly below:

function getPathToUploadDirectory() {
  return config.tmp_path
}

Unfortunately most chip companies don’t actually use salt and vinegar directly, they use sodium diacetate and sodium acetate which when combined produce the salt and vinegar flavouring we know.

Can they not be recalled?

Some terminals copy a formatted blob to your clipboard, so you may need to make sure it’s in plaintext before pasting. If you’re using a clipboard manager, look for a “paste without formatting” or similar function, or paste it into a plaintext file first and then re-copy that to make sure it loses the formatting.
