Perl: There's more than one way to do it
Python: There are 37,234,108 ways to do it, and all of them are inefficient as fuck, except that one way which you can only find out about if you sacrifice your self-respect and five pints of your own blood on the altar of StackOverflow, if you're not first flamed to hell for asking an inappropriate question.

I am convinced that any academic post with “in residence” in the title is contractually obliged to reply-all to each and every mundane department-wide email to the effect of “I’m sorry I’m too important/busy to attend $EVENT”.

I’m not sure that BBC pay-walking BBC content behind Brit Box is really acceptable.

I’m paying for a tv license that finds their output, so surely it should all be available up front to paying license holders?

It light be legal, I assume, but it’s certainly not ethical.

Tonight is opening night of a new show at Kitten Lyric Opera (somehow we have season tickets). There's singing, purring, and biting and while I don't understand a word of it, it's performed with such emotion it's quite enjoyable regardless. Especially considering the hour. Then again, this is the early showing; normally I expect the opera to start closer to 3 or 4 am. I believe tonight's aria is titled "Brrrroot? Brrrroot? MowmmbawawoooWEEEE!"

Tech bros love to whine about "The EU cookie policy" that simply doesn't exist the way they imagine it. All these popups are the most radical way to interpret the explicit consent demanded by regulations. An ongoing provocation by the ad/tracker industry to blame their ruthless data hoarding on the EU.

I’m so efficient today that I am managing two coffees before work. Normally it takes one coffee just to become upright.
