@neil we regularly declare "in our house, we award no points for presentation." My wife and I can both make things that taste good but end up misshapen or falling apart when we put it on a plate. Oh well, better than pretty food that tastes meh.

My oldest just brought in his Arduino and breadboard and said, "Look what I made! Press the button!"
I press it and it started playing "Never Gonna Give You Up" on the piezo speaker.

I stumbled upon this truly fascinating video that explains that steering a bicycle doesn't work like most of us thinks it does -- yet we seem to do it intuitively anyway.

One of the few cases where a video is actually the perfect form of information delivery.
@dancinyogi the only way to learn to drive a stick, is to try to drive a stick. My dad took me to an empty church parking lot on a Saturday, and we just drove in loops forever. Start, stop, start again. You'll fail a lot, so a patient teacher helps.

Donald Trump’s excuse for quoting Mein Kampf is “I never read ‘Mein Kampf.’”
I don’t know that “I came cup with the same ideas and language as Hitler did all on my own” is really the strong defense he thinks it is.
Came across a comment in the code base stating "this is a very temporary implementation of the TEST operator...". It was written in 2017.
More evidence that there is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
