Fuck your language and its spelling, TBQH.
Except the proper spelling for what you meant actually follows the basic rules. No peculiarities to explain your gaffe here! ;)

@obeselymorbid The whole taste pleasure is odd.
I mean, go vegan and then spend a lot of effort making tofu taste like turkey.
Yeah, not really the best way to approach a change in quisines. Pretty much equivalent to "Right, let's try Indian tonight! Okay waiter, what's the Indian dish most like a hamburger? Cause I'll take that.".

I like that you spelled it that way right after criticizing someone else's spelling gaffe. :P

Step 4: Running Forever
It turns out you can actually do this without messing with your init scripts. All you need is another npm package called forever, and Cron. Yes, Cron.
Bonus :
Why does the
Copy
menu include paste?

Although that should perhaps be @Qarla.

Unrelatedly, yesterday was Wank Holiday Monday in the UK.

Following the cricket. Windies highly likely to win, but possibility of draw ; England need a near-miracle to get them out for less than their target. Then this happened (read from bottom).

@polygeekery Near as I can gather, an announcer for cricket commented that it was looking like an easy win for England. England than promptly fell behind in the score. Later, that same announcer (with intention this time) stated that West Indies was looking at an almost guaranteed win, shortly after England won.
Why anyone cares about Cricket is another matter entirely.

Not exactly.
A wicket isn't a win. It takes 10 wickets to end an innings (and each side has two innings).
The commentator in question said it was going great for England, and then England collapsed (several of the ten wickets in their second innings happened in succession). They recovered, but today the West Indies were doing fantastically: this was commented on with exactly the same turn of phrase, mentioning what happened yesterday, and the Windies immediately lost a wicket (and in spectacular fashion), though as it turned out, only the one. They've since won by five wickets.

Sometimes I think to myself, you know, it would be interesting to learn about cricket. Figure out how it works. So I take a look at some London newspapers’ coverage of the noble sport and I come across this:
Benn was bowling to a six-three off-side field with the leg-side covered only by a short-leg, mid-on and a man on the sweep. To the off were two close fielders, at slip and silly point, and a ring set back, with men either side of point, extra-cover and mid-off.
Okay. So, it’s time to move on. In a decade or so the memory of those sentences will finally have faded from my brain, and when that happens I’ll think to myself, you know, it would be interesting to learn about cricket. Figure out how it works.

It's a reference to that StackOverflow answer, the one on parsing XML with regexps…

@mzh Well of course if you don't know what short leg and silly point are that kind of detailed description will make as much sense to you as if you rattled off a similar list of quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends to a typical Brit.
Except that with cricket, it's not really necessary to know the fielding positions to follow the game (frankly, I don't know them all myself). Apart from the wicket keeper, there are no special rules related to positions and they all perform the same function: it just describes what rough area of the field they're standing in.

Bill Bryson describes cricket very well:
Eventually the radio dial presented only an uninterrupted cat’s hiss of static but for one clear spot near the end of the dial. At first I thought that’s all it was — just an empty clear spot — but then I realized I could hear the faint shiftings and stirrings of seated people, and after quite a pause, a voice, calm and reflective, said:
“Pilchard begins his long run in from short stump. He bowls and . . . oh, he’s out! Yes, he’s got him. Longwilley is caught legbefore in middle slops by Grattan. Well, now what do you make of that, Neville?”
“That’s definitely one for the books, Bruce. I don’t think I’ve seen offside medium-slow fast-pace bowling to match it since Badel-Powell took Rangachangabanga for a maiden ovary at Bangalore in 1948.”
I had stumbled into the surreal and rewarding world of cricket on the radio.tl;dr

It makes more sense in the original nihilistic robot version.

@dkf yeah, I know, it was just a funny place o see it :)

@arantor That game is absolutely filled with in-jokes of various kinds. (I'm currently trying to get 300 chancemakers, but that's likely a few days off as they're expensive.)

@dkf sure, I just didn't expect a zalgo one is all... this is day 324 of this run, after all...
