  • At my previous job we had a "this should never come up" error case

    Error message for that was "if you see this, kick XYZ's ass"

    Of course we soon got a customer ticket to please relay the ass kicking

  • Contact Etsy demand that America's concentration camp aka Alligator Alcatraz merchandise needs to be removed
  • Lots of people set up their own shop with Shopify etc. You can use Etsy to find a seller, and then see if they also have an independent shop

    Sadly no real marketplace alternative out there. There are some small platforms, but they often only cater to a super specific market

  • Years ago I had a short inter-country flight in the EU.

    Forgot that I still had my swiss army knife in my jacket. Noticed before the scanners. Thought "fuck. oh well, worst case I'll leave it here".

    The people at the scanners didn't say a word.

    On the way back, I remembered the knife again. Again on front of the scanners.

    This time they noticed.

    "is that a pocket knife in the jacket?" "uh, damn. yes"

    Guy checks out the knife. Hands it back to me "next time put it in the suitcase".

    I put it into my jacket and get on the plane.

    When we land, I grab my stuff, including the jacket from the overhead compartment.

    Sometime taps me on my shoulder, I turn around and see a steward hand me my knife, grinning. It fell out of my jacket when I grabbed it

  • I managed to perfect my Tan Tan Ramen

    Tan Tan is one of my favorite ramen. And a couple weeks ago I decided to check how hard it would be to make at home.

    Turns out, it's a super easy recipe, if you can get all the ingredients.

    The recipe I used:

    The only change I did was to increase the amount of sesame paste by 50%
