Tubular Bells, also known as the Theme from The Exorcist.

How to keep house while drowning by KC Davis: how it's not morally wrong to have a messy living space, and how to keep it livable even when you feel like you're overwhelmed.

I have ADHD and depression, this book was pivotal in helping me get out of the stereotypical "depression apartment" situation.

I was going to suggest The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, after all, they will already have a towel.

As someone who used to troubleshoot an extremely complex system for my day job, I can say I've worked my way across the entire bell curve.

The things is, if you try to parse html with a regex, you will always be able to construct valid html that will break it, no matter how complex your regex becomes.

We met on OkCupid. We were on opposite sides of the Atlantic, but she had a friend on this side, and they were comparing the "weird" profiles they were each finding. OkCupid has a "if you liked this person, you might like these more" section, and I appeared in there. She wasn't really looking to date anyone, but she clicked, messaged me, and we clicked. I moved to the US to be with her after a two-year long distance relationship, and we'll be celebrating our ten year wedding anniversary next year.

United. Twice. They damaged my luggage both times.

I've only flown Delta and American since then.

Python or Perl. IIRC, I've seen systems with a Perl install by default, but not Python.

On the internet, no one can tell you're a duck.

It's definitely great in theory until you inherit a codebase with no tests, poor documentation, and numerous reported bugs already live in production. Even better if it was written by people hired because they could do other things better than they could code - which looking at some of the unlabeled wiring messes we were left, isn't saying a lot.

I tried uploading a banner for a community I mod and was met by a JSON parser error message, so that's not happening there until there have been a few more updates.
