Potassium cyanide. We used a very dilute form of it as a laboratory reagent (a safer alternative to its cousin hydrogen cyanide, in case that’s what you’re thinking of). It just smells clean - sort of like a candle that’s labeled as “fresh laundry” or “spring breeze”.

The words you said aren’t wrong, but in this context it seems like you’re suggesting that the honey in tea might have a similar effect when consumed. That’s not at all supported by this study. Much of honey’s antimicrobial effects are (1) due to its high sugar concentration, and (2) in reference to topical applications. Those conditions don’t exist here.

My go to for most of what you mention is Go, but that’s obviously a compiled language and not for scripting. Or is it - What do you think about https://github.com/traefik/yaegi, which provides an interpreter and REPL for Go? It would let you use a performant and well documented language in a more portable scripting way, but not preclude you from generating statically linked binaries if and when that’s convenient.

And a screenshot with a nearly full battery? They clearly hired well.

This was my favorite detail of the master plan:

Joshua Hunsucker had told two coworkers that if he killed someone he would do so using eyedrops, according to court documents.

Maybe the secret is in the emoji. What the hell does “🫒🦅🏹” mean?

Reminds me of a classic bit from a comedy podcast (My Brother, My Brother, and Me) https://youtu.be/6YqXXBKBPRI?si=_Bmjlr2LIQh56Fhi

Early days is one thing, but if this is the entirety of the code

# WIP

Then there isn’t much to have a discussion about…

I just bought and restored some older but well-built deck furniture. Each piece had a badge on it with a company name and URL, but the site is long gone. Popped it into the wayback machine and instantly learned all about the furniture, its maker, and how much it cost back in the day, which was really neat.
