Every few months, I will get tired of the current look of my status bar in i3 (or sway on my laptop). For the icons I will go to https://www.nerdfonts.com/, search for ones that look cool, and copy paste them to the relevant-ish sections.

Halfway through the article I completely forgot that it was about JavaScript, and I could only think about Tim Tams

I use Siri exclusively to call my SO, because the way the British accent pronounces their contact name is just too funny.
