Why post something at all if nobody replies and gives you some attention? Therefore anyone who posts here seeks attention.

Do you really want me to rant about my latest doctrine on 8 bit computer design?

Really? Tell me more! It seems this problem may have started some time ago - perhaps in your childhood? 0xF0r what it's worth, new meds for 8-bit trauma are still under development. Just hold on a little bit longer.

I'm just building an expansion for my old computer from 1978 (and its design from 1976). It will theoretically allow up to 16 megabytes for a little 8 bit processor. I simply don't ask Billy the Gates.

Alas - nay, regrettably - I would choke on that cheese omelette.
A childhood 'thing', out of nowhere: an aversion to eggs, especially cooking them in the same room where I am or will be, can cause an unpleasant scene. Can't stand the taste of a glass of milk, either. Love cheese, yogurt, etc. No allergy to things made with eggs nor to dairy; not lactose intolerance.
I met someone else, a German (whilst I was in Europe) who had the same thing happen to his sensibilities. Out of nowhere. Some aversion, same effects. Tough luck on both of us.
So - after assaulting whoever cooked it, I would, indeed, choke on the omelette if I tried to eat it..

I'm getting a lot of snail mail at work. Most are technical magazines and product announcenments.
While checking the mail this morning, a small magazine felt out of another one. I expected an advertisement brochure but got corrected:
It was a periodical of the German society for carrier pigeon cultivators.
After wondering why such has been bundled with a magazine for electronics, I turned it over and found an address label:
Misrouted mail, even not for this area. Must have been slipped into the magazine in some mail delivery centre.

You realize they "race" them? Weird hobby to my mind: pack bird in box, put box in big lorry. birds driven a long way away and let go. Sit in smelly shed waiting to see how many of yours evade raptors. Fastest one home is the winner.
Pigeon racing - Wikipedia[^]
And I understand that a "good bird" can be sold for a fortune!
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I know.
One article was about a bird that settled down on a research vessel in the North Sea (so a little bit on topic because I'm working in the oceanographic area). It started off a few times but always came back to the ship (maybe because feeded there). After a week the pigeon left the ship and find it's way home to Hamburg (has been set out in Paris).

Many years ago a neighbor had pigeons and never realized that the 'raptor' that let one of his pigeons disappear once in a while was our old cat that had found a way to get in there. The evidence was always removed in the morning before he ever saw what really had happened to his birds.

They are fairly well known among us old (and not-so-old) farts.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Too bad you don't have a pigeon, you could strap the magazine to the pigeon and get it to the person who subscribed.
