You just reminded me ... Before I really got into IT in my career I was at a job that still had a messenger for the internal staff. I set my status message in it to "Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring."
I got chastised and made to change it, because the message might offend ... Skinny elephants, I guess? I never got clarification on that.
(The manager had no clue what it meant.)
Almost everything in lemmy is formatted in markdown, so for most tasks you can just look up "how to x in markdown." For example, "how to embed an image in markdown" returns (among other things) this guide. That page also includes other guides if you care to browse.
If you're uncertain whether you're using correct syntax, there are many editors - both locally and remotely - where you can test before posting. I like this one. Obviously only do that with non sensitive information.
I'm not exactly sure how I'd trap someone in a wall hole without injuring them, personally.
I'm just glad you were able to remember your username!
Recently I went to the hospital for a surgery. It was scheduled for 0630 and they told me no food or drink after 1800 the previous night. I heeded that. At 1100 they told me they were cancelling the surgery.
I said "does this mean I can have some water?" They laughed and brought me 28oz of ginger ale. It was delicious.
Sounds like Shawshank Redemption.
I read it from a book of urban legends. I don't really remember any others at the moment; I do recall many of them being at least vaguely spooky.
I think that was the same series in which I read a story about a random motorist helping someone who was broken down, then arriving home to find his mortgage had been paid off by a grateful celebrity. In my book, the celebrity turned out to be someone who is now president, but last time I told this story several people responded to state various different wealthy people who had been in the version they knew.
Reminds me of a short story I read as a kid.
Someone receives a call from an unknown number and answers. (In the original I read, the setup was a payphone ringing as someone walked by.)
On answering the phone, that person hears a voice saying "excuse me, may I have a moment of your time?" "Sure," says the answerer. "Thank you," says the voice as it disconnects.
The answerer hung up also, feeling a bit older.
It seems likely those goals will align fairly promptly.
I don't much like chocolate, but I've said here before: if a food item has toppings and is sufficiently robust to maintain those toppings, it is universally better upside down.
Couldn't say - I've never had the chance to use it. In fact, I'm not sure I ever had the SysRq key on a keyboard I've used.
I have had a Pause/Break key and used to think they were the same thing, but now I'm not so sure.
