@mwlucas I always felt like this adequately described the difference beginners and experts. We all make mistakes and achieve the same outcome; The difference is the tricks you've learned along the way.

sometimes you have a problem and think "I know, I'll use regular expressions", and now you've rolled it out worldwide and the CPUs are spiking everywhere and the internet is on fire oh god oh no https://blog.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-outage/

Do you think anybody involved with that let me google that for you website gets phone calls from people asking them to google something for them?
Saved 81 cents on today's shopping trip because the person ahead of me had 81 cents left over on a gift card and decided he'd rather just hand that off to me instead of needing to keep track of it for a future visit.
At my shop if someone has less than a dollar left on a gift certificate I'll usually just ask them if they want the left over back as change rather than need to deal with it again on their next visit.
It's too hot and the cat wants to cuddle.

From the PostgreSQL manual:
"The first century starts at 0001-01-01 00:00:00 AD, although they did not know it at the time. This definition applies to all Gregorian calendar countries. There is no century number 0, you go from -1 century to 1 century. If you disagree with this, please write your complaint to: Pope, Cathedral Saint-Peter of Roma, Vatican."
Amazon does this thing where they split the video royalty payments up into multiple regions and they each pay out separately. The terms when I was signing up for that suggested that there's a payment threshold, but they've never stuck to that so some months I get up to four separate deposits for as little as 1 cent. I'm kind of amazed they don't at least merge those into a single payment.
34 cents in royalty payments last month for some videos I have up on Amazon (free with Prime). That's a pretty good month for me. The same videos and more are also available on YouTube and PeerTube.

milkshake levels are currently at 49% but fluctuating wildly

Next on the schedule for the day is a research and education committee conference call, getting an emergency wholesale order roasted, packed, and shipped, talking with another local company that's interested in setting up a wholesale account, and tasting the test batches that I roasted yesterday. I'm thinking I might do French Press for those.
Of course the machine that I'd really like to be able to bring in costs more than both of those put together, would involve redoing the bar to make it fit, and require retraining my staff because it operates under radically different principles.
2nd espresso machine ordered. It's not as nice as the first one but I needed something a little smaller to fit the space.
Finished up my last trophy in Bloodstained. Apparently I don't need the weapons transmuted from 32 bit coins and 8 bit nightmares, which saves me from needing to grind 8 bit overlords and extra money.

"i use linux as my operating system," i state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. he swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision.
"actually," he says with a grin, "linux is just the kernel. you use GNU+linux."
i don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "i use alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU coreutils, or any other GNU code. it's linux, but it's not GNU+linux."
the smile quickly drops from the man's face. his body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth as he drop to the floor with a sickly thud. as he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!"
coolly, i reply "if windows was compiled with gcc, would that make it GNU?" i interrupt his response with "and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. even if you were correct, you won't be for long."
with a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. he lies on the floor, cold and limp. i've womansplained him to death.
I'll probably end up MITMing the app to figure out how to get at the native data at some point.
Probably the biggest limitations on the app are that you get 3 markers and if you try re-using one the first one gets deleted. Personally, I'd be happy to use 8-10 roast progression marks. The marks also don't get a column in the CSV export which makes that data less useful unless you make a point of copying that over (at which point you may as well just note times on paper and use as many notes as you want). Maybe the Cropster export is better, but I'm not paying >$3000/yr to lose features.
The app and its data export features have some kind of bad limitations for the sort of exploratory work I'm doing today so I'm supplementing that with a low detail paper log.
