    What I’d really like to pull off is Kangatarianism. Based off Australia, the idea is you can eat meat, but only of “pest animals” we have too much of.

    It would be hard to set up, and may face regulatory scrutiny by USDA. I imagine a lot of deer/pig/turkey hunters would like having a way to sell their catch on. We’d also need to watch for “rat catcher” problems where people see the animal as suddenly lucrative and grow its population intentionally.


  • One time a very large, very important word file had a phantom page break that couldn’t be selected, and didn’t go away with backspace/delete.

    I ended up opening the raw content of the docs to rip out the offender. Docx files are zip files with lots of XML data inside; I was eventually able to find the bit between the two paragraphs where the break was happening, and deleted it in notepad.

    Pretty much done doing that type of task in Word now. Heck, I’ll do large documents in Markdown editors.
