Always like this song
And never knew the origin of the line 'You don't have to call me Mister mister, the whole world calls me Hank', but now I do
I do like Andy Grammar
He's got some fun stuff, while this isn't my favorite, it isn't terrible, and I feel like I should know who the weirdo in the elevator is.
This I think is a better one, and the video is so fun.
Wish we had these in the US
Assuming the price was low enough, I'd buy one, should work well for my job. Top speed is a little limiting, have to avoid freeways, but unless I'm going west of St Louis county, that's easily done.

Feeling rough tonight
Not sure why though. Yes, I didn't sleep well nor much last night, but that should just mean tired, instead my neck, upper back, shoulders and feet all hurt.
#today was a good enough day, because of the sleeping problems I cancelled my shift with Better Trucks, but in the end wound up working any how even though I didn't need to as I had the opportunity to work in Wood River, somewhere I have been in at least six months, maybe longer. Funny, thanks to the tariffs, Better Trucks is drying up, but one of my other gigs is heating up as it looks like UPS is trying to build their own alternative to the USPS. Well, money in my pocket as long as things keep going like this, so no complaint here.
Oh, and this song just feels appropriate today: youtu.be/YApDcvIhlWw

Broke a mini goal
So, with yesterday's addition to covers month, I finally broke a mini-goal. Honestly I'm surprised it took this long, but I had been trying both to repeat no songs and repeat no artists. I suppose I could split hairs on yesterday, it was the second appearance of Willy Nelson, however this time he was with Merle Haggard, last time he was with Paul Simon, so technically the artists are different, but that's really splitting hairs.
There are artists whose covers I won't be sharing, like the Cleverlys, I mean their music is great, should hear their cover of Beck's Loser, it's great, but they do these covers only because it's funny, fundamentally they're a comedy band, and I prefer serious attempts when covering a song. I'm also skipping Puddles and Post Modern Jukebox, since as good as they are, they're kinda specialized I guess? Honestly not sure about those two, my opinion might change.
So, if'n you haven't been keeping up with the #music I've been sharing, there's two ways to do so, my #YouTube playlist, or by going directly to my cover songs posts.
Y'all prolly starting to think I forgot about day 5
Assuming anyone is actually paying attention, perish the thought. Let's be lazy, one I've shared before, and really like both it and the video, it's amazing how much making this song heavy metal really changes it. And then the video from MacFarlane Studios...

March covers
Ok, I think I'm going to try to post a song cover video each day for the month of March.
Why?
Because I can... though whether I can remember everyday is rather iffy, so feel free to remind me. I'm going to try to come up with interesting ones, so no Hurt by Johnny Cash nor Sound of Silence by Disturbed, I'm some rather obscure ones in my music collection and I'm aware of a few more that I don't have in my collection yet. Oh and the new ones that I have on physical media and haven't ripped yet.
Yep, prepare for a month of #youtube video links.

Like his explanation of why we use command line...
it's not "because legacy" and such. However he phrased that gist.
It's because (among many reasons), it's easier to share help how to do something as a command, than a sequence of steps to go through with a gui, that may not even be a very universally used gui.
And easier to follow the help as a command (... generally can merely copy & paste).
And from having the command, you are then given more avenues to explore deeper understanding of what it's doing more up front (e.g. can run man, or tldr, or info, or whereis, or whatis, or apropos, and so on, on the command(s) and its(/their) various parts, or even try a -h or --help option after the command... reading the fun manual is good).
With Command Line Interface (cli), rather than Graphical User Interface (gui), the distance to being empowered and learning more, is far shorter, with far fewer hurdles in the way. I know it seems like the gui's the easier way, but it's only easy at the initial shallow front it offers, and it's surprisingly not faster ... "but i click, it does it, just one click, no typing" ha! how many clicks can you do, how much nuance of control is there in your click... only what the gui provides? no depth of potential to create whatever possibilities the linguistic nature of stringing commands together. And how much resources are used~ is the gui always responsive, like the command line is?
[If you were to] Try to get to a similar level of depth of capability and competence with a gui as availed in the command line, then you're going the hard long way around, having to reprogram your gui (probably in something like C, or maybe rust, and needing to know about all kinds of graphical toolkits, libraries and whatever system inner workings doodads and things). Which would indeed be great. Do that. Build and adapt guis to your liking and share them. Great contribution, great learning experience. But I'll carry on taking the easier, more expedient path, and keep using the command line. ;)
Little by little it grows, and before you know it, you're quite proficient with the command line, and no longer even want to do things through the gui, because you can do it faster and easier on the command line.
Even more so when using a shell like fish, or have run "oh-my-zsh" or "oh-my-bash" to spruce up your zsh or bash shell configurations, to have all kinds of pleasant auto-completion wonders to really expedite completing commands, way faster than typing, even faster than mere tab-completion... the wonders in store for the newcomers... they just dont know, yet. :)
Why do we tend towards cli preference over gui?
"Text is a universal interface" -- Doug McIlroy (paraphrased reduction), as part of the unix philosophy.
... Call that "because legacy" if you like, I think the "because" of it has nothing to do with legacy, and [the philosophy] is true, new, today, as it was then. "Do one thing well", too.
Not that everything need follow this philosophy, and of course many things don't, and that's the beauty of freedom. But it is very nice when there's that deep interoperability. :)
