“precondition” sounds so much fancier than “sanity check” and to be honest a bit more precise

No doubt about it I’m gonna need a bigger desk soon.

@szbalint Yep but my desktop’s been giving me issues so I may need to reprioritize. I will get the Model 100. It’s just a question of “when” at this point.

@mgrondin They like to be where they can keep an eye on me. Make sure I’m not giving the dogs a disproportionate amount of attention!

Windows Terminal Preview has bold text now. Oh happy day!

The python -m rich demo looking pretty good in Windows.

multicolored and multiformatted output of the Rich terminal handling library’s demo output.

Showing the PowerShell tab rather than one of the WSL tabs because I need to fiddle with my $TERM for proper true color.

There we go. set -g default-terminal "tmux-256-color" in my tmux conf, set -x COLORTERM truecolor in my fish config.

Now I get all the formatting + color goodness in my Windows Terminal Preview WSL workspace as well.

Same output as before, but in a WSL Linux session using a different color theme

still cannot believe that folks who wrestle with dom selectors all day can snark about regular expressions

No regrets with getting American Truck Simulator on sale. And the kittens love the sound of the truck engine. Makes ’em snuggle up to the speakers. Would’ve taken pics but I didn’t want to wreck on my first trip.
