Isn’t “Bruce Wayne does use his resources to help people” how Azrael happened?

When I was a kid, before laptops were commonly accessible, I had a device … I can’t remember what it was called, I keep thinking “Altavista,” but I know that was a search engine, not a device. I do recall that it was blue.
Anyway, the idea was, you’d type into it and it would store what you typed locally. Later, you’d plug it into a computer’s PS/2 port it would reproduce what you had typed by imitating a keyboard and literally typing out what was in its memory. My mom teased me because she’d sometimes review what I had put in and encounter
.This device was how I discovered Y-connectors, which later resulted in me having a keyboard on my desk and a keyboard in a keyboard tray with one hand on each.
Didn’t Elvis once famously kill a roach with a revolver? I remember hearing that story, but all I can find with cursory DDG searches is some altercation between him and Alice Cooper.
I might be confusing it with the story about him shooting his TV, but I’m not sure how a roach would get involved in that memory. Maybe I’m recalling a Simpsons bit. It’s too early for me to remember clearly.
FWIW, in case you don’t know, Lemmy uses Markdown. IMHO it’s pretty good at formatting and there are lots of guides for it online; just looking up “how to to x in markdown” is likely to get you plenty of results.
In case you want to see the results of particular texts in real-time, there are also editors that will immediately show you what will be the outcome of what you write. These are available locally on your system, but also online:

1·5 days agoMine includes a header so their mail filter knows to ignore it.
At this point, I’m pretty sure that every employee who has been there for more than a month has written or at least copied a filter to delete any email with that header.
I’ve never been comfortable with that kind of mass deletion and we have, AFAIK, unlimited mailbox storage, so I just set my version to mark those emails as read.
edit: Mail, not mark.




Is that how you get the elephant’s attention?
