Weird. We have a gas line here. (Dating the start of our gas service: the company that owns and maintains the lines is Atlanta Gas Light. Lots of actual gas lights still in folks front yards around here, too. They're pretty.)

You pick the supplier and billing, but there are no roving tanks or even salesfolk. Just postal mail.

Propane tends to be in standard tanks you can swap out at any gas station. Fee is reduced for a trade - the metal canister costs something, it seems.

There's definitely JS. Works Node or browser, though.

My least favorite thing is it's not invertible, so it helps you sketch out a skeleton, and then you're on your own for maintaining it in the sea of verbosity…

Wow, that sounds awful. Why would you space it out like that?!

Why are there roving propane trucks?

@japchap If you write a lot of HTML, you'll probably see more of a speed increase from picking up Emmet. [emmet.io]

My family generally gives it to after Thanksgiving, but a tree up early and late down brightens a good part of the year. :)

@japchap I think Sublime Text was the first with that multiple cursor feature. Atom cloned it not long after.

In Vim, I use block visual mode selections to accomplish a subset of those changes (like the one shown in the GIF), and would likely use replace or macros for the rest.

Xcode actually does something similar but both more limited and more useful for a common need with "Edit All in Scope". It's scope-aware - no need to go hunting for all uses of a variable to rename it! - but doesn't allow arbitrary cursor placement, so also more limited.

Ah, so that's what uptalk sounds like! It's weird.

When I hear it, though, it comes across like a generalization of the prosody I use when reading a series. Something like, "They walked long; they walked far; they walked wide; but they found nothing," would have similar rises at the end of each clause in the series except the last.

Now, I want some meatloaf. Hmm. Thanksgiving is coming…

Which was the uptalk one? Curious to hear it for myself.
