I have noticed that in plays where the characters on stage laugh a great deal, the people out front laugh very little.

Man installs ‘placebo’ thermostat to let family think they’re putting the heating on.
A man has installed a fake thermostat in the hall of his three-bed semi in the hope it will prevent his wife and children putting the heating on any time they ‘feel a bit chilly’.

![XKCD comic #3308 "Juice" https://xkcd.com/3308/
transcript & explanation from ExplainXKCD wiki https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3308:_Juice
transcript:
[Ponytail and Cueball are each sitting at large computer consoles, with their hands on the keyboards. Ponytail is on the left, below a sign on the wall that says "JUICE Mission Control". Cueball is on the right.]
Cueball: Jupiter Icy Moons Exploder checkin is complete. All systems nominal.
[Zoom in on just Ponytail and Cueball. You can only see part of their consoles and not the wall on the left. They've turned their heads to face each other.]
Ponytail: Explorer.
Cueball: What?
Ponytail: Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer.
[Zoom in on Cueball and his console. He looks pensive, with his hands in his lap.]
[Zoom out to both characters and their consoles. Ponytail has her hand up to her forehead. Cueball is typing on his console.]
Cueball: Control, everything is fine, but I need to schedule an urgent spacecraft update.
Ponytail: Oh no.
Title text: I need to push some updates to the remote sensing instruments, which are there to measure the surface and definitely not do anything else.
Explanation:
In this comic, Cueball has apparently misread the full name of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE) space probe, as he thought the last word was "Exploder". He must have been part of the design team, and now needs to update the programming so it doesn't carry out what he thought was the mission to destroy the moons (or, possibly, merely to self-destruct). Of course, this would be unlikely to be missed in real life, and it seems unlikely (and far from possible) that a probe would be sent out just to blow up the moons.[citation needed]
In the title text, he's trying to be circumspect about the reason he needs to send a programming update as he doesn't want to let the rest of Mission Control know about his very odd misunderstanding. It also seems to reveal that the "exploding" would somehow be accomplished by (mis)using the scientific instruments (presumably by increasing the energy output of a radar-like instrument to the point it becomse a direct energy weapon), rather than the more logical primary fuel or power components of the craft.
This is the second comic recently about JUICE, following 3304: Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer ( https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/3304:_Jupiter_Icy_Moons_Explorer ) the week before.](https://cdn.masto.host/spaceyspace/media_attachments/files/117/401/667/702/723/781/original/9436d457ec83bcee.png "XKCD comic #3308 \"Juice\" https://xkcd.com/3308/

Bytemology of Retronym, OCTADE. Yinzer phonics. Butterfly Perfume.
OCTADE or OCTAD is a retro word that means either an octal digit of three bits, or an octal octet or an eight-bit byte. Thus an octade, depending on its historical use, is either 3 bits or 8 bits.
OCTADE was used to specify eight bits, as opposed to BYTE which is not necessarily eight bits as the word BYTE could signify any of several numbers of bits.
This yields the retro 1337 numbers of 38 and 83. The number 38 is one more than 37 so a bit more elite a bit cooler. Thus it owns cardinally shorter byterz.
83 mod 38 equals 7, the highest octal digit. 838 mod 383 equals 72 or 9 times 8 which is 8 squared plus 8.
8338 mod 3883 equals 572 which is 72 times 8 minus 4 or 71.5 times 8.
8383 mod 3838 equals 707 which is 88 times 8 plus 3.
I prefer the old word OCTADE to the word BYTE. OCTADE sports a Euro-peon dignity and gravitas like an Internet serf ready to surf the worknet like pwnd peons. This is very true when pronouncing OCTADE with a thick Pennsyltucky Dutch or Yinzer accent. The Bostonian pronunciation sounds like bad beginner German or muffled mumbling of 'lactate.'
OCTADE or OCTAD was also used to describe a poem of eight stanzas.
OCTADE was also used to describe a period of eight years, or two leap years.
OCTADECANAL is a pheromone found in butterflies. It is butterfly perfume. I would not wear butterfly cologne. But I would sell it. Who would buy and wear my snobby smell? With wordplay we can call it OCTADE CHANNEL No. 8 . All rights reserved, ye French odor snooties.

Twa Cats anes on a Cheese did light,
To which baith had an equal Right,
But Disputes, sic as aft arise,

The twa Cats and the Cheese
Fable IX
by Allan Ramsay
Twa Cats anes on a Cheese did light,
To which baith had an equal Right,
But Disputes, sic as aft arise,
Fell out at sharing of the Prize;
Fair Play said ane, Ye bite o’er thick
Thae Teeth of yours gang wonder quick:
Let’s part it, else lang or the Moon
Be chang’d, the Kebuck will be done.
Alt...
But wha’s to do’t,—They’re Parties baith,
And ane may do the other Skaith,
Sae with Consent away they trudge,
And laid the Cheese before a Judge,
A Monkey with a campsho Face,
Clerk to a Justice of the Peace,
A Judge he seem’d in Justice skill’d,
When he his Master’s Chair fill’d;
Now Umpire chosen for Division,
Baith sware to stand by his Decision.
Demure he looks.—The Cheese he pales,—
He prives it good,—Ca’s for the Scales,
His Knife whops throw’t,—In twa it fell,
He puts ilk Haff in either Shell;
Said he, We’ll truly weigh the Case,
And strickest Justice shall have Place,
Then lifting up the Scales, he fand
The tane bang up, the ither stand;
Syne out he took the heaviest Haff,
And ate a Knoost o’t quickly aff,
And try’d it syne,—It now prov’d light,
Friend Cats, said he, We’ll do ye right.
Then to the ither Haff he fell,
And laid till’t teughly Tooth and Nail,
Till weigh’d again it lightest prov’d:
The Judge wha this sweet Process lov’d,
Still weigh’d the Case, and still ate on,
Till Clients baith were weary grown,
Alt...
And tenting how the Matter went,
Cry’d, Come, come Sir, We’re baith content.
Ye Fools, quoth he, and Justice too
Maun be content as well as you.
Thus grumbled they, thus he went on,
Till baith the Haves were near hand done;
Poor Pousies now the Daffine saw
Of gawn for Nignyes to the Law:
And bill’d the Judge that he wad please
To give them the remaining Cheese:
To which his Worship grave reply’d,
The Dues of Court maun first be paid.
Now Justice pleas’d,—What’s to the Fore
Will but right scrimply clear your Score;
That’s our Decreet,—Gae Hame and Sleep,
And thank us ye’re win aff sae cheap.

Two images. On the left, Magritte's "The Son of Man" featuring a man in a black suit and bowler. A green apple obscures his face. On the right, a modern woman in white pants and a black top taking a selfie. Her face is obscured by an iPhone.
Below is the text:
Just imagine if Rene Magritte was actually a seer, he saw the future, but due to his time he couldn't understand and explain what kind of apples people have in front of the faces and simply painted his interpretation of what he saw.

Said by clever computer-touching friend:
"The logo for vi is "vi" rendered in whatever typeface you use in your terminal."
‘Twas the saying of an ancient Sage, “That Humour was the only Test of Gravity, and Gravity of Humour. For a Subject which would not bear Raillery is suspicious; and a Jest which would not bear a serious Examination is certainly false Wit.”
Anthony Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury (1671-1713) English politician and philosopher
Characteristics, Treatise 2 “Freedom of Wit and Humour,” Part 1, sec. 5 (1709)

I know of one gifted crackpot who used to be employed gainfully in the fields of humor and satire, who has taken a solemn pledge not to write anything funny or lighthearted or “insignificant” again till things get straightened around in the world. This seems to me distinctly deleterious and a little silly. A literature composed of nothing but liberty-loving thoughts is little better than the propaganda which it seeks to defeat.
E. B. White (1899-1985) American author, critic, humorist [Elwyn Brooks White]
Essay (1939-01), “One Man’s Meat,” Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 178

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

In Living Color really was the best comedy skit show. I really hate that we can't have this sort of comedy anymore 
In either case, I wonder how the dino ties the knot?
And clearly, the answer is two.

Caption: In an example of incremental delivery, the landing gear was pushed to a later sprint so that the release date commitment would not be missed.
