clearly the Enter key is also sometimes called Return even if they were originally both physically and functionally distinct.

Agreed. Return vs enter is semantic on all computers that only have one, and I'm honestly surprised there are still keyboards that treat them differently at all.

Wait, was that something I needed to know to use vi?

vi is a programmers editor so it's quite good at accepting and working with all variants, but if you were working with go you were edging on the kind of programming / text-file heavy world where they can cause troubles.

I still instinctively call it the Return Key even when it plainly says Enter. This has caused trouble when I'm trying to explain Doing Stuff on the computer to other people.

I was just admiring a picture of the Moms From Portland -- they were all decked out with hardhats or bicycle helmets, goggles and of course masks.

Would you believe there's a Popular Science instructional tutorial about tear gas? Worth a read:

I can't help but thing this shit is going to keep getting worse and we're going to need to get out there before November to get that gluttonous toad out of the white house.

They really seem to be doubling down on the scare old white people tactic and pouring fuel on the fire with federal crackdowns is surely part of the strategy.

How long before someone kills one of the un-identified Federal Goon Squad or kills a co-worker that was being a non-mask wearing asshole out of work and gives them/their family COVID?

She ended up liking the movie after a while. She liked the part where Merlin turns them into different animals. She then rewarded me for the movie and candy by throwing a huge tantrum about bedtime. However, we did get around to reading a chapter of Paddington Bear before bed. I had finally gotten her all tucked in and was sitting down to watch some cheesy TV when TCG walks in.

Brilliant. Here I've seen vuvuzelas.

I get to spend tomorrow getting quotes and budgeting the gear for a show to tour a number of city parks. Interesting times, indeed.

My car has started making a noise in the rear passenger side that kind of a rhythmic grinding when I'm turning left. I'm planning to drive to MO on Monday and I'm wondering if it's safe to do so. It would be easier to get it looked at there.

A bad power steering pump will generally be a whine and will happen by cranking the wheel either direction. A bad CV joint generally sounds like a popping sound (but maybe a rhythmic grinding would fit) but will happen in only one direction. So my guess is a bad CV joint which you can generally drive on a bit. However, highway travel with a potential steering or suspension problem probably isn't a great idea. Oh wait, you said rear. I don't have a guess then, the CV joint or power steering would be front.

How did I adult today? I downloaded IMDBtv and did not immediately start watching Spenser for Hire, because I know that I would fall into the abyss and be struggling to keep my eyes open for "til the end of this episode" at 4AM. Instead, I came here. Marginally better.

I feared so.

I'm out of bed for over two hours now but still not awake. C'mon, brain. Me needs you functional today.
