Between Neovim, WezTerm, and AwesomeWM, I’m starting to understand Lua.

hackers.town: 2023-02-07 Tue 15:47

Liking Lua may or may not come later, but I can read it.

And I like it better than JavaScript already, so there’s that.

@nosherwan to be fair, I have really weird tastes.

@genehack That is a puzzle. Taco Bell would be the likeliest for change sifting based on personal memory, but then again I didn’t have a car at the time.

@genehack So I went with “where would rich people dump change” with “rich” obvs being a relative term, and Wendy’s was all I could come up with.

Rain.

Actual proper water falling from the sky rain. Not a fine mist. But rain.

In the Pacific Northwest.

How confusing.

@WuMargaret @yenzie My ass does not understand higher math.

OTOH my grandpa said I could sit on an ice cream cone and tell you what flavor it is.

Because I’m a smartass.

@kusuriya Yep that’s pretty much it.

@zkat I spent formative years in Ukiah, and thought I had weird place names down because I knew how to say “Vallejo.”

But up in WA, I still can’t say “Puyallup” right after almost 40 years.

@kusuriya @zkat then there’s “geoduck” whose spelling had to have been established by a sadist.

hackers.town: 2023-02-07 Tue 17:08

@zkat @kusuriya it’s spelled “Sequim.”

Most of the place and critter creative spelling around here is what happens when white people try to write indigenous names.
