And I have again observed, my dear friend, in this trifling affair, that misunderstandings and neglect occasion more mischief in the world than even malice and wickedness. At all events, the two latter are of less frequent occurrence.
[Und ich habe, mein Lieber, wieder bei diesem kleinen Geschäft gefunden, dass Missverständnisse und Trägheit vielleicht mehr Irrungen in der Welt machen als List und Bosheit. Wenigstens sind die beiden letzteren gewiss seltener.]Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) German poet, statesman, scientist
Die Leiden des jungen Werthers [The Sorrows of Young Werther], “Letter from May 4th” (1774) [tr. Taylor]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/goethe-johann/6749/

Gamefinds: CSS Puzzle Box
Some of you may remember seeing, from a while ago, a clever hack that implemented a series of interactive puzzles on a website. If you didn't see it, or don't know much about how these things usually work, you might not think much of that, we've all been playing web games for two decades now, and an entire web platform for them (Flash) has arisen and die

This reminds me that I have a /48, from almost 15 years ago, and haven't done anything with it.
Can you still get them just for the asking?
I don't know if I could have got my hands on the .arpa reverse lookup delegation thingy for it. Maybe I should have tried.
Would I be able to transfer it to @beasts?

Sounds like when I found out one of my grandma's much beloved potato recipes was actually a very common dish in Sweden. Of course, now the mystery is how my grandma learned about this Swedish dish never having traveled there or apparently even knowing anyone Swedish ever.

Have to say that the "new" technique of faking in furniture in a home/condo listing while doubtless great for the seller can be very misleading for lookers.
Some of these bedrooms I *know* are 9x10 yet they show what has to be a king-sized bed and 2 side tables.

Of course in code review it got a "Wtf is this for?" (the real note was much more polite of course). Even with one line of commentary trying to explain it already there along with some tests. It needed an extra line of comment! All because #trickery
btw. if you look for this feature in the docs for COPY, it won't be apparent! Why? Because #trickery I mean it does tell you about wildcards in some detail. It just leaves out this one thing it can also be used for.

Here's a trick.
Once upon a time, a traveling vet that we had called came to our house. The vet's helper was used to fostering cats. She told us about one thing that she did.
Basically, she used the cat carrier as the feeding spot for the cat. This way, the carrier would be associated with good things.
My ex-wife and I did not do this. We had already trained our cats to fear the carrier, unfortunately. However, I'm now putting this practice into action. I feed Noche in the carrier.
I expect when I have to take him to the vet, I'm just doing to have to drop a couple of treats in there, and he's going to jump right in, entirely unaware of the trap I've set for him. BWAHAHAHAHA!
That's very different from what happened with the cats that my ex-wife and I had. They were barricading themselves in the bathroom, saying "YOU WON'T TAKE US ALIVE!" Then we'd have to wear plate armor to avoid being shredded to bits.
(I think I previously referred to Noche as a she. That was a mistake. I misread the paperwork, and I assumed, given that noche is a feminine word in Spanish.)

@ilr
Hi ILR,So much bad #rascism back then.
Many negative ideas are put on #ThomasMalthus as #Malthusian but Malthus did provide positive scenarios around #education.
Educated #societies with access to #contraception and #familyPlanning services achieve lower #fertility - a great and #humane #scenario that #Malthus thought about.
#Elites don't want us knowing this. They want us to associate #populationGrowth with good and Malthus with evil, a from of #trickery for more hapless #workers.
