I learned Photoshop while working with John at ILM in the 90's. Cool!

Closing with "The engineer involved still works at Atlassian and adds a lot of value to our team" sounds pretty blameful to me, at least pointing a big ol' finger at him/her.

Re:Ask HN: How can I fix my sleep schedule? on Tuesday June 21, 2022 @06:28PM (#31829812)
Is your bedroom a sanctuary? A calming space without major distractions. No clutter, trash or junk? Make it neat. Keep it clean. Well ventilated and quiet. Provide reading material by the bedside. Soothing, low volume music. Dark with low level task lighting. Set yourself up for success. Keep the bedtime schedule NO MATTER WHAT. If you can't sleep, read, until you fall asleep. Give yourself plenty of time to allow this to work.

Re:Why Are Some Boiled Eggs Easier to Peel Than Others? on Thursday June 09, 2022 @04:03PM (#31686075)
steam baby! STEAM! I peel my fresh chicken eggs on my farm daily. How to: place egg(s) in pot with steamer tray. Place lid on pot. Bring water to a boil. Shut off heat and allow to sit undisturbed for 13 minutes. Plunge egg(s) into cold water to stop cooking process. VOILA! disclaimer: works 80% of the time.
