My raises aren't tied to my performance, so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry about your arm, I hope it heals quickly.

I definitely pasted it correctly. But you know, accidents happen.

Oh, I know. I went through it once.

The tricky bit is that a lot of scripting/programming languages reserve the backslash for special stuff. For example, "\n" means a line break. When you pasted the right arm (which is seen on the left ; ) ), lemmy's editor expected a special thingy, so it was kind and removed the backslash for you, so that you don't have to. The secret is to post it with a double backslash, like this: "\\" (for example, I actually had to use FOUR backslashes in a row, since it's two double backslashes, because each means one backslash).

EDIT: Lol, I have bamboozled myself, too. I had to edit this a few times.

I'm familiar with this particular way of handling characters, was unaware lemmy did it tho, cheers!

Can't decide if I should change my post. I suppose leaving it is armless.
