not sure if everyone sees that or not when they go to the google home page.
I keep thinking its a fly or something, swatting at it with my hand like an idiot. 
evidently, it is to bring attention to this: Our Commitments | Google Sustainability[^]

I saw it. It's annoying.
The first time, I thought it was a bug crawling around on my monitor.

Only the first time?
It gets me every damn time.

I don't see it on google.com, or google.co.uk.

Only annoying in that it's a green leaf.
If they were really call, they'd allow leaves to accumulate at the bottom of the screen.

I use Sea Monkey Browser (because I can) and it's leaves leaf tracers as it falls, then a gray box where the text should be. This morning when I got up I opened google and saw that and thought what virus have I got now!

Is a drummer just a cymbal for the band?

I'll ask my friend Tom, he'll get a kick out of this question. My friend, wearing the high hat, will just snare at me, he's such a stick in the mud.

Is a gong just a status cymbal?
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Beat's me. I do recall a drummer who was admonished percussion in public.

This will floor Tom, tip his Hi-Hat, and get a kick out of it and ring his ride Belle. She drives him to practice.

This post really needs more cowbell...

What do you call someone who hangs around with a band of musicians? The drummer!
I was one, so I know.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

|
And what do you call someone who hangs around with a group of drummers?
Homeless.

I heard that one in my head. Must be the Cymbalta™[^] I take as part of my migraine prevention drug regimen.
Far better than the actual drums that pound when I get one  .

Take someone's code.
Find it's a c++ project all in one file.
Get it to compile.
Take screen shots.
Print the screenshots and use them as mocks
Use the mocks to write the C++ code.

if it's all in one file, then I would save it to a file on your hard drive, then open it in one monitor and write your new code in the other monitor.
I do this all the time when porting code to C#, especially if the original code is something other than C#.
I would never use screenshots if I did not need to. I have never had to use screenshots up to this point, but I guess if that is all you have, then I would do the same.

To be fair, it's microcontroller code and i don't have all the hardware necessary to make the original code work very well. I can only pull screens from it.
My job is to rewrite it, so it's easier to work with a high level view of it. I still use the code as a guide, but the mocks speed up the UI parts considerably.

Not exactly the same, but once I did a very successful presentation of a system exists only in those slides... made by Photoshop...
I think today it called low-code - and you can't gat any lower than that 
(Later we actually wrote the application behind the screens...)
