"The supermarket giant cites specialist providers, convenience stores and online retailers among its rivals, but many seem well out of its league."

I propose we replace semantic versioning with pride versioning
Diagram with large number: 2.7.123 First “2” is commented: Proud version. Bump when you are proud of the release Second “7” is commented: Default version. Just normal/okay releases Third “123” is commented: Shame version. Bump when fixing things too embarrassing to admit

Yay! My #Plushtodon from #Mastodon was delivered today!

I was not expecting it until after #Christmas 🎄, but I am glad that @Mastodon was able to expedite deliveries for those of us in the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

Thanks @Gargron!

Hmm…now I need to figure out what to name it‽ Mister Masto‽ Super Masto‽ Nasty Masty‽ 😂 I will not use the latter, lest folks think I won this from a Dirty Santa 🎅🏾 game! 🤣🤪

Ah, not a comic book buff myself, but will celebrate that on this day in 1940, the first issue of Captain America Comics was published, with this iconic cover.

"When the first issue came out we got a lot of ... threatening letters and hate mail. Some people really opposed what Cap stood for."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captain_…

#CaptainAmerica #CaptainAmericaComics #comics #marvel #nazis #PunchNazis #OnThisDay #OTD

A cover of the first Captain America comic book. The title of the comics appears on top in large yellow angular letters. The scene depicts the titular hero punching Adolf Hitler. Captain America is wearing a brightly colored superhero costume that consists of a blue shirt with a large start across the chest and vertical red and white stripes below it, and is also wearing red gloves, a blue mask covering the top half of his face, with little wings attached to the side of the mask. He is also holding a shield for protection. Hitler is wearing a brown Nazi uniform, and looks visibly in pain. Good. There is a small crowd of Nazi soldiers looking on helplessly. One of them is attempting to shoot at Captain America, but the bullet hits the shield he's carrying.
