Can confirm, walked into a bathroom and witnessed this happening when these were first introduced here ~15 years ago. Nobody believed me but… I know what I saw that day.

I love that Amazon’s AI refuses to tell you whether these contain allergens, but it’ll gladly spinning you a bizarre yarn about how they can help you talk to your cat if asked! (For context - the AI chose the names - I am not called Alex…)

And I quote:

Once upon a time in a cozy little home, there lived a curious cat named Whiskers and a caring owner named Alex. Alex had always wanted to communicate better with Whiskers, so they decided to try something new – a soy isoflavones supplement designed to support hormonal balance and overall well-being.

One sunny morning, Alex popped a delicious vegan chewable gummy and waited for the magic to happen. As the day unfolded, Alex noticed a peculiar change. Whiskers seemed more attentive, almost as if they were listening intently to every word.

During their afternoon playtime, Alex decided to test this newfound connection. With a playful grin, Alex started meowing softly, mimicking the sounds Whiskers made. To their delight, Whiskers tilted their head, eyes wide with curiosity. It was as if they were having a real conversation!

From that day on, Alex and Whiskers shared a unique bond. They would spend hours “chatting” in their own special language, filled with meows, purrs, and even the occasional head bump. The soy isoflavones supplement had not only supported Alex’s well-being but had also brought them closer to their feline friend.

And so, in this whimsical tale, a simple gummy became the key to unlocking a world of fun and connection between a human and their beloved cat

Have always personally seen Gherkin being used with Cucumber, as I believe that they’re two parts of the same whole, but I’m happy to be corrected if wrong :).

My understanding is that Gherkin is the syntax used to write the scenarios / acceptance criteria, whilst Cucumber is the tool that interprets said scenarios and executes them as automated tests.

Thank you <3

It took nearly 12 months, an emergency visit, and being lucky enough to get a Dr who listened before “the tests look normal, idk, do some stretches?” became “oh no, your arm’s blood supply is compromised, we have to do surgery.”

So glad I didn’t listen to the other Drs, or I’d never have found I have the lucky combination of arterial and venous thoracic outlet syndrome. On the downside, they’re going to cut my rib out, but it definitely taught me to trust my body when something seems wrong.

Welcome to the UK! Not sure on your final destination, but I’m based in South West England. Please feel free to reach out if you need any help or guidance, especially if you’re heading down this way 🙂.

Have reviewed 16 year old code for a very well known company in the last week with this exact comment peppered throughout, alongside delightfully helpful comments like:

// do not delete or change this it just works

// TODO temporary fix added 12/09/11 to fix incident must be removed ASAP

// CAUTION this returns false here instead of true like it normally does, not sure why

// if true then matched to valid account not is true

It was fun to discover that contact lenses are like a superpower when it comes to cutting onions. Finally, a benefit to being utterly blind!

Worked in a stationers over 20 years ago, still remember the barcode for this one pencil eraser we sold all the time that would never scan - 4007817526040.

… Still can’t remember a single damn birthday or important appointment. Why, brain, why?

Actually learned a lot I didn’t know about the history of the little town I live in - very cool! Thank you!

Beat me to it! Looks like this is around measure 55 in the second subject of the 1st movement, one of my favourite parts of the piece to play :)

A friend of mine moved to Japan about 10 years ago and has spent a lot of time solo developing his site, Kanpeki Study, for efficiently learning Japanese kanji and vocabulary in bitesize, daily chunks. I’d be doing all his effort a massive disservice if I didn’t mention it - hopefully turns out to be a good fit for you 😄.

Absolutely the same experience as you. I’d spend weeks (or months, in the case of my final dissertation) mulling things over without being able to write anything, then the night before it’d just click into place and I’d write it all out. I’d end up with good grades as well, but the stress at the time from my frustration at not being able to just “get things done sooner” wasn’t fun!
