And that car, though.
I mean, it had nothing to do with him, but still. Goddamn sexy car.

Allegedly my great (maybe great great, I don't know) grandmother tried to murder her husband by putting rat poison in his morning coffee. I don't know if the forensics back then would have been able to identify that, but fortunately it didn't matter because apparently rat poison floats.
I was never told what happened to her, though.

Sleep with him while in disguise, then accuse him of sleeping with someone else. Then you’ve managed both!

In the spirit of heeding your username, I shall engage.
In markdown, if you use a single asterisk it doesn't mean much unless it's part of a list. However, if you use two, it will italicize the text between them. Britain, for example, would bring Br*ta*n because the T and A (yes, I'm aware of the abbreviation) would be between them.
edit: Seven days later, I saw this post again. I realize now you weren't talking about the formatting but how many instances of the offending character to replace, like non global stream editing or sort of like ƒ.

You're right! They misspelled Br\*ta\*n!
edit: Should have considered that we're rendering markdown before I used asterisks so wantonly.

I don’t put seeds on mine, but they seem like sesame seeds. What were you picturing?
The rolls are:

I wouldn’t call them sweet, but from what I understand the UK and US have very different definitions of that taste, so you might.
edit: That might actually just be salt. Pretty sure it’s sesame though.

What you describe is delicious, too, but I’m not aware of a colloquialism that describes it.
What I’m accustomed to by that name is a less fancy looking version of this:

I’ve never had lobster roll - or indeed lobster - but from the name I imagined it to be lobster rolled up in something like a pig in a blanket (though I’ve heard that varies from place to place as well; my variant is just a hot dog rolled up in a croissant).
I was pretty disappointed the first time someone around me ordered one and it was just lobster in a roll … Though I admit it makes sense.

In the show, he was a good doctor and was able to troubleshoot a kidney by hand (eye, actually, IIRC).
You’re right, though … In real life a good doctor couldn’t and wouldn’t.

An abyssal panda using pandoc. Who could have seen it coming.
Markdown is very useful, but I don’t think I’ve ever written enough to earn template files.
My brother is one of the two smartest people I know and knows a lot of things I didn’t know I didn’t know. He’s earned a lot of respect from me.

Last night, I was talking to my brother - who’s a mathematician by trade - and learned the following from him:
LaTeX is Leslie Lamport’s (hence La) macro package on top of TeX.
I’ve never used it, but for around fifteen years I’ve been working around people who do … And yet I never knew that.

When I moved to my current house, my wife and kid were at our previous house for a while. I deliberately chose this house for its isolation, so for a while the only people I really spoke to were local cashiers every few days. (Side note: my kid was three at the time and had left a toy triceratops on the back of one of the commodes the day we signed for the house. I never thought a toilet would make me miss someone so much.)
Anyway, I work remotely and had a daily virtual meeting. Most days, that meeting was the first and last time I spoke. I also had some kind of long lived sinus infection going on, so not only did I speak pretty rarely, until I opened my mouth I wasn’t even sure if I’d have a voice that day.

My dad grew up in Ohio, so when he was alive we would go there annually for a family reunion and, in the days surrounding the reunion, just kind of wander the surrounding areas.
My introduction to Magic: The Gathering was stepping into a thrift shop in Akron and discovering the entire (at the time) collection of books in a box for … I don’t remember the exact price, but an eminently affordable cost. I don’t much care for the game, but I definitely enjoyed working my way through the book series.
