Dear God, what have you done to me, @gumnos???

The man page for #remind is longer than a programming language (#mksh)!!! 🤣

Also, in case anyone's curious:

function manlength {    # Prints the length of manpages in pages, lines, words, chars
    local output lines pages
    #Depending how you count it, it can be anywhere from 44 to 66.
    # Abiword gave me 48 lines on a default page layout, and that seems
    # reasonable when compared to the results I got when converting
    # manpages to PDFs
    local linesperpage=48
    output=$(man "$@" 2>/dev/null |wc)
    echo "   Pages   Lines   Words   Chars"
    lines=$(echo "$output" |awk '{print $1}')
    pages=$(echo "$lines/$linesperpage" |bc -l)
    printf "%8.1f%s\n" "$pages" "$output"
}

I’m reminded of that Star Trek: TNG clip where Quark finds out that the people of Earth irradiated their own planet on purpose.

Not only that, the people of Earth were so feckless at self-governance, that they also let irradiation weapons into the hands of psychopaths.

If and when humanity succeeds in not irradiating itself to death, that will be the ultimate underdog story.
