Having a cat is a wonderful thing. Cuddles. Meows. Smelling your way through the house for hours only to find a dead mouse jammed so deeply in to your vacuum you have to disassemble it to get the carcass out while franticly trying to not throw up from the smell of rotten flesh. A wonderful thing.

"Hey Bjompen, why don't you throw away that ugly computer under your tv and buy a smart tv instead - they are so much better"

It appears #VSCode can only have 477 simultaneous red twigglys before it just stops - at least in debug mode for an extension I'm working on. I wonder if it's a secret setting somewhere..
