Accidentally deleted my microcode image in a hasted attempt to rebuild and resize my boot partition - I really need to start paying closer attention to my rm commands 🤦♀️
At least the fix was simple enough:
- make arch iso
- mount drives and chroot
- pacman -S amd-ucode
- exit, umount, and reboot 🎉
The real lesson of the day was 300mb is not enough for a boot partition these days...
Have you ever wondered why the word ‘sneeze’ is spelled the way it is? Well, buckle up, because it’s a wild story! Back in the Middle Ages, the word was ‘fnese’. But here’s the twist: someone made a silly mistake and thought the ‘f’ sounded like the long medieval ’s’. So, they wrote down ‘sn-‘. Can you imagine?
And here’s another interesting fact: ‘fneezing’ sounds much more like a proper, nasal sneeze than ‘sneezing’.

And this is why it's important to have someone else read your work and give you feedback. Not just because they'll see typos you won't notice on a proofread (you wrote them in the first place and didn't notice them!), but because they'll helpfully point out that you have your characters dancing a dance in 1893 that wasn't invented until the 1920s.
These photos are an excellent reminder of two things I already knew.
1. Paper grain matters
2. I am an idiot who thinks they can will physics away
