The US dept. of Health and Human Services doesn't think that coughing is a symptom of the common cold. CDC, which is part of HHS, does list coughing as a symptom, though (cdc.gov/features/rhinoviruse…). A year in and they can't get the most basic message right
Is your chest discomfort a symptom of a cold, the #flu, or #COVID19? If you’re experiencing these symptoms, consult your doctor to see what treatment may be right for you. Get the full list of symptoms here: bit.ly/3suwx3O.

TIL that if your web app wants to read from the clipboard in Safari, users will be presented with a single-item context menu that just says "Paste". Wouldn't be *so* bad if it worked well, but the context menu will often lag multiple seconds and then appear on top of other apps

In Japan we lived in a small town called Koryo, a town in a part of Nara known for Kofun (古墳)—large, key-shaped burial mounds from the earliest age of documented Japanese history and which remain shrouded in mystery, in part to ensure their preservation. invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=ZkUIMRTE…

Not a lot of programmers know this, but you don't actually need to have Google Chrome installed to make web sites.

I ran into this too, but I worked around it by not running the tests
Replying to @searls
I tried this; lasted a few days until I needed to debug a gem that had tests that relied on the Chrome binary

One disappointment of the Trump era is how few apparent leaks there have been from the Secret Service. History (and our entertainment) would be well served if those poor officers were to go on the record in a documentary on what they must have endured after he's out.

Oh and in addition to donuts @beckyjoy also brought home a ridiculously over-the-top chocolate peanut butter cake from #GideonsBakehouse! I am going to die happy (and perhaps, suddenly). Banana for scale.

In other birthday news, hats off to @beckyjoy for finding a Japanese style donut shop in Orlando and supplying me with the only "pon-de-ring" donuts I've seen outside an actual @misterdonut_jp in Japan. So awesome! 🍩
