I will take a better look at Goose some time later when it's not late at night.
Just wanted to drop by and thank you for creating Treesheets. I haven't given its more advanced features the use they deserve, but I love it as a note-taking application for anything that complexity-wise sits between a short outline in a plain text file and a ton of Markdown in something more advanced like Obsidian. And for, of course, any tabular data.

I'm giving Worldoku a shot. I'm fairly familiar with country flags, if I may say so myself, as I play Flagle, Worldle and Geozee. And I'm no stranger to Sudoku and Murdoku either. And yet I find this is breaking my brain somehow and I'm struggling a bit to keep the board's state in my head. Maybe I just need more practice.
I do love the concept and I'll try playing more than one assuming I can finish the one I've started. :)

Bottom? Just the fact that there is that first selector button is a huge spoiler. Not to mention the title that briefly appears before fading out. Not going to be more specific than this to not ruin the show for people who haven't seen it yet.

It's not a myth, as far as I can tell. Note I didn't say they invented the term (though, granted, I inadvertently did imply it I suppose). In any case it likely helped popularize it.

Move further west, and "trampa" means "excrement" in Portuguese. Usually used in the figure sense, rather then literal.

1947: Harvard engineers working on the Mark II computer find a moth stuck to one of the relays. They tape it to a logbook and write "First actual case of a bug being found" and introduce the words 'bug' and 'debug' in the context of programming.

This reminds me of why I'm very nervous I've been able to login to LinkedIn by just click an email LinkedIn sent me; and to someone else's Netflix account from an email that was sent to me by mistake.
You _could_ blame the users for not setting up 2FA. But two wrongs don't make a right, and these websites should always ask for another means of authentication, even if it's just a password. Url parameters in links don't count.

Edit to add: I'm unsure where assembly would sit in this analogy. Skateboard? Monocycle? Perhaps ice skates.
