HOW TO AVOID A WEREWOLF ATTACK: 1. Do not run. Maintain eye contact. 2. Question their dominance. “Who’s a good boy?” 3. Keep them in suspense. “Who’s a good boy?!” 4. Pop the surprise. “YOU are!” 5. Treats. Hard biscuits tackle bad breath and improve digestive health.

Open a terminal window on your computer—whether Windows, Mac or Linux—and unless you’ve fiddled the defaults, the width is almost always 80 columns. Run a code reformatter like clang-format and same deal…defaults to 80 columns. Why? (1/18)

@SredniEel What if we convince people that each store chooses one color from the pride flag and paints all of the bollards to match? There are only so many colors in the flag, so it’s possible you might see two or more stores that arrived at the same color.

Spiffy robe for Krampus, with some mods to accommodate his tail and stuff. Kept it tidy for now rather than distress. This makes an already hot, heavy and complicated costume even hotter, heavier and more complicated…so I’ll probably only ever use this if it’s below like 40°F.
