They told me no spicy foods until tomorrow, but the curry in my fridge is beckoning...
It's not that spicy. Should I?
I probably shouldn't, right?

while the recursive name certainly helps, pizza developers use proprietary ingredients while mac and cheese development is fully free. The source code is in the name!
Although you could argue that Kraft Dinner is proprietary, but that's like a proprietary version of UNIX. People just go to it for nostalgia knowing it's way outdated, and any attempt to replicate it will give a better result.

Taking my first dose of one of the drugs I was instructed to take before my procedure tomorrow.
How am I supposed to take this again?
*reads prescription label*
"Take as directed"
Thanks. 🙃
So the procedire in question is a colonoscopy. In addition to the diet they've also prescribed laxatives. I just took the first dose a short while ago. Apparently these things work fast.
It's going to be an interesting night.
The original keyboards used long ago had Ctrl, Super, Hyper, Meta, and ALT keys. We now map Meta (i.e. ESC) to the Alt key on our keyboards as a convenience. I do not believe there is a way, on modern keyboards, to have both META and ALT mapped to a key. We can have Super, and Meta. I can't recall if I was able to map Hyper on a modern keyboard.

I've been playing around with keymaps. Apparently they can be used to create menus that give the user a visual list of options. The canonical way to make them is aparently with make-sparse-keymap to create the menu and define-key to add options to it, but this causes some confusing behaviour.
Take the following example:
(let ((menu (make-sparse-keymap "My menu")))
(define-key menu "a"
'(menu-item "Foo" foo))
(define-key menu "b"
'(menu-item "Bar" bar))
menu)Yields the following:
(keymap (98 menu-item "Bar" bar) (97 menu-item "Foo" foo) "My menu")Each new entry is added to the top of the list, so when the menu is displayed, they're listed in reverse order. This is very counter intuitive.
Now, I understand that the nature of lists in lisp make inserting an element at the top of the list less computationally expensive, but when you've already got to walk the whole list anyway to ensure the key binding isn't already present, this no longer feels like an adequate excuse.
Am I missing something?

Define key is my least favorite way to make a keymap.
I like defvar-keymap, bind-keys, if you've got a map create already. Like a sparce map.
General is nice too. But then you have to have that installed.

M-x function calls because I had such a hard time finding key sequences that weren't used by something else. Since learning that C-c /[A-Za-z]/ is reserved for user-defined keybindings, I've gone mad with power.reshared this
C-z suspends Emacs and drops me back to the terminal until I issue the fg command to bring it back. I use this for issuing git commands. I could probably do this from within Emacs, but I haven't bothered to figure it out.

@Zenie That's an option, but my concern is that the reason they might be vague in the docs is because the specific error might change in future versions.
Perhaps I'm just being overly paranoid.
Usually errors are obvious and for very specific reasons. You can just catch them and print the message so if anything does change you will know.
I don't think it's worth worrying about.
I've long known that certain ASCII control sequences could be mimicked by holding control and pressing a key, e.g.: backspace is CTRL-H, newline is CTRL-J, but I was today years old when I learned that the ASCII control code is just the ASCII value of the key being pressed along with control bitwise and-ed with 0x1f.
It feels weird that I hadn't caught onto this sooner.
Welp, it looks like our Instacart account is probably cooked. We need to find a replacement for that income quickly.
Fortunately, we were already in the process of trying to do that because of the wear and tear it was putting on the car. I have a few irons in the fire, but nothing concrete yet. We need something we can do on an on-demand basis so that we can work when our mental health permits.
I'm notoriously bad at interviewing for jobs. It always involves some element of exaggerating the truth (a.k.a. lying) which I suck at. It turns out for instance that the honest answer to "why do you want to work here?" (so I don't starve and end up homeless) isn't a good answer. 🙃
Looks like we've officially been fired from Instacart. It was the customer's word against ours. In the long run, this is probably a good thing as it was slowly killing our car with all the mileage it was putting on it. It was never meant to be a permanent solution anyway.
Edit: typo
My partner has been dealing with $condition for a very long time. In that time we have tried many therapies and medications without much success. We have found $medication_a which actually helps, but causes $side_effect which is not sustainable. Fortunately, we've found $medication_b which makes $side_effect tolerable.
She's been on a waiting list to see a specialist for a while and finally had her first appointment today. After a single 30 minute appointment, his solution was to increase $medication_a while completely stopping $medication_b. When she objected about $side_effect (which she'd already told him was the reason for $medication_b) he said to just do $obvious_thing as though we hadn't tried that already.
What's worse is that he faxed the order to our pharmacy canceling her previous prescriptions.
Of course, I am not a doctor but what the hell is this guy thinking??
