>I don't use !!, or !$, because I prefer to see what command is being executed before I press enter.

I use zsh (with oh-my-zsh) and when I type e.g. "sudo !!" and press enter, it doesn't execute the command, instead it expands the !!. Another enter will then actually execute it.

I believe it's default behavior for oh-my-zsh. At least, I don't recall manually changing this.

When it comes to grammar, the term hypercorrection is typically used. Seems like it could be applied here as well.

Most people couldn't stand on one foot? Really? Am I that out of touch with reality?

Not even being snarky.

If enough people never bother to change their PIN, it might still be worth it.

I've actually never used a visual diff tool. Usually I just search the file for ">>>>>>>>>".

Maybe I should check it out.

SystemRescueCd is a great one. I always carry a USB drive with it on my keychain.

It says "Inofficial ebuilds" under the Gentoo section.
You're afraid people you know will be able to associate a review of a mobile app with you?

Genuine question. I really cannot fathom why that would matter.

So put your zsh config in a git repo, clone it wherever you need it and symlink to the repo?
