Aspies: people that are unable to see the Emperor’s new clothes…
The Jogging Pill
I’m still waiting for someone to invent the jogging pill!
It will totally revolutionize public health!
Packaging and Idiots
I claim there’s a lot of packaging out there that’s been designed by idiots… however, I’m willing to accept if those idiots claim that the problem with the packaging is that it was opened by an idiot…
Winfoes
I had a slip on the keyboard and produced the following word:
Winfoes
Yep! My unconscious is definitely on my side of things…
A Walk in the Park
“This should be a walk in the park.”
“Indeed. Let’s see if it’s going to be an am or pm walk in the park…”

The Complete Guide On How To Clean A Mac – Setapp
“What’s the easiest way to keep your laptop running in tip-top shape? Keep it clean, of course! It doesn’t matter how old your Mac is, a clean Mac will always outlast its newer cluttered counterpart.”

Keeping your Mac clean… but probably not the way you thought…
“An oft-asked question by many Mac users is “How do I clean my Mac’s system?” The advice they frequently receive involves things like deleting log files, clearing caches, removing cookies and all manner of other things. There are dozens of utilities that help users do these tasks. So, which one is best? The answer may surprise you: none of them! But why?”
Although, I have had my Anti-Virus prevent me from opening web pages and downloading stuff so I think I need them, and others agree…
“No software is immune to attack, including macOS. The rising popularity of Apple computers has made them a prime target for malware. And security companies are increasingly offering antivirus for Macs, but do you really need it?”
Rubber duck debugging
In software engineering, rubber duck debugging is a method of debugging code. The name is a reference to a story in the book The Pragmatic Programmer in which a programmer would carry around a rubber duck and debug their code by forcing themselves to explain it, line-by-line, to the duck.

Although, I can’t really imagine that implementing this en masse in my current office landscape will gain much in the effect of not interrupting your colleagues… I imagine sales will step in and stop it before any larger customer can see us… 😀

Throwing a Chair off a Building
Thinking about the pragmatic side of film making:
Paris
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Jean Reno is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: I don’t care. I can jump out of the way.
Stockholm
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Stellan Skarsgård is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: Is that really safe?! Do you have permission to do that?!
Los Angeles
A: The street has been closed to traffic because Brad Pitt is going to throw a chair off that building.
B: Ooooh! Will he autograph it first?
Although the actual location is in fact Budapest. Oops! I hope they closed the street for traffic before Brad Pitt threw that chair off that building… 😀
People are Dying
Old and sick people are dying at this hospital! What the fuck are the politicians doing?
Because you do get 3 lives, right? With the option to buy more if you level high enough? Right?
I’m not saying the political discourse in society today is childish… only that it has a very puerile quality to it…
You Shouldn’t Have
A: Oh, you shouldn’t have…
B: No problem at all…
A: It is a problem… and that’s why you shouldn’t have…
