I want to do archery, but there are queues and backlogs to get into the mandatory clubs (if you don't have a garden).

So how about you buy the electric motorbike, and I'll tow your glider for a launch! For free!

Drive (2011) is a very weird remake of Drive (1997)! (it's not, but that's the joy of being old, re-use of names and pretending things have gone off the rails)

It also made me think I was hemorrhaging in my mouth when I spat while brushing my teeth.

Thanks! I'm not sure they'd decline it, but my natural reaction is self-deprecation and my work isn't good enough, especially for a corporation like Microsoft.

Sometimes I'm energetic enough to not care, but other times it's easier to avoid hearing it.

The issue now mentions this PR, so we'll see!

Thanks! I didn't, because I went back to the issue and someone from the Microsoft team said they probably don't want a menu option for it but to do it automatically, which would require looking into when the window gets focus.

So if you'd like, I can fork and open one on my own repo?

Death by tea cup!

And the whole space soap opera of it all is just delightful.

Also, don't waste your time on fancy languages or 3rd party string libraries, just do it in raw C89 using the standard library. `strtok` is good enough for anyone.

"but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."

I still haven't adjusted to seeing the moon upside down.

Can't wait to see what the final form of the game is!
