badhrink··on Hubble Sees Possible Runaway Black Hole Creating a Trail of Stars
I think it was later proposed it could be a galaxy that we are viewing from side on/angle - https://www.space.com/runaway-black-hole-tail-stars-mystery-...

So this happened to be my experience too, but with a slight twist.

In 2020, I was hearing strange sounds and went to the doctor - turns out it was earwax pressed against my ear drum and a bit of infection.

In 2021, I had similar sounding noises and went to the doctor - turns out it wasn't earwax and he couldn't pinpoint on what the reason could be.

It is 2023, I am still having that sound :(

badhrink··on Software I’m thankful for (2021)
You can use the max-count option for the git log command.

Something like this: git log --graph --decorate --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --color=always --max-count=$cnt

How to activate this in Google Assistant? Is there a special application or something? Or do we just have to say "Ok google read this <URL> " ?

I guess, the actual sender requested Fedex to cancel the delivery of the package. Fedex said it did, but eventually it ended up in the delivery van.

So when the private investigator asked the delivery guy to not deliver the package, he must have checked with Fedex before not delivering.

However, there was another package to the same address, and the PIs stopped the delivery of that too. So yeah, you might be right on one count atleast :)

badhrink··on Why Should You Learn Vim in 2020
Any idea if there is a way to check for presence of Ideavim in vimrc/init.vim?

I have a single config for all vim related things(vimrc) and source it for neovim as well, hence I was curious. For example,

has('nvim') checks for neovim.

Something like this for 'ideavim' would mean I can add IntelliJ related stuff inside that check.
