@SnoopJ About twice a year i go onto to eBay and look at listings for a curta and gently stroke my screen with my fingertips thinking of what it would be like to own one

@SnoopJ
"And the Lord spake, saying, First shalt
               thou take out the Holy Pin.
               Then, shalt thou count to three, no more,
               no less.
              Three shalt be the number thou shalt
              count, and the number of the counting
              shalt be three.
              Four shalt thou not count,
              nor either count thou two, excepting that
              thou then proceed to three.
              Five is right out.
              Once the number three,
              being the third number, be reached, then
              lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of
              Antioch towards thy foe, who being
              naughty in my sight, shall snuf it."

@SnoopJ So sorry for that and thank you so much for flagging! I have removed the boost and updated to the version with the patch!

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@lily no apology necessary, just taking it upon myself to let operators know as it happens. I'll untag you from the post when next I update it, cheers!

[lily@homestead.social]

@SnoopJ also thank you throwing that patch together!

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@lily what can I say, Python and a Unicode quirk is a combination that is like cat-nip for me

It's like if Clive Barker had written about Hell's mathletes instead.

@lain_7 @SnoopJ ooh, that looks worth turning into a printable / craftable design. thanks, now I have another side project on the docket

@petes_bread_eqn_xls @SnoopJ Ah, yes. That's the one with the protagonist who's allergic to branding if I'm not mistaken. I'm gonna line up a couple new books and revisit his work.

@SnoopJ build a new image 2 days after the release and can confirm that the patch is applied in the running version. Seems this could be a bug, thanks for letting me know!

[snoopj@hachyderm.io]

@Darki03 huh, yea, maybe there's more to it than we thought. Thanks for the counter-report, I'll take another look.

@SnoopJ @computercolinx @SecretAntelope @pegaz @scarpentier @lily @nachbarschaft @james @huey @awesomesheep48 @Darki03 @tom @jonas @hypebot

The patch is for a fork of my project https://github.com/v411e/hype

I have no idea why @tante made this fork and did not contribute to the original repo in the first place tbh.
