Why does my terminal Vim look like this? (self.vim) [Need Help┃Solved]

It's better than my friend, using a different AI to proofread his manuscript. It just started spitting out "shame shame shame shame..." hundreds of times, filling the screen.

I'm innocent, I tell you!

Sounds like time for a class action lawsuit. Get hundreds of people who've had this happen, and talk to a lawyer. If Etsy isn't abiding by it's own rules, and screwing over countless sellers, it's time to bring in the law.

Double stick tape a sandpaper strip along the entire back edge of the table, then slide the table back and forth, until it digs itself into the wall, and appears flush. Boom, done.

I have a ton of Woodpeckers, and love the precision and solid builds, but I bought all of it 20 years ago, when the prices weren't nearly so high. I also bought it all at Rockler, which used to have ridiculous sales back then all the time, like 70% off really nice stuff. I wish we were still in that era.

It's funny that you hate all the things I didn't much notice—I don't find Faye sexy; she's way too much trouble, and I feel like she'd smell bad, in the same latex shorts every day 😆—but then said all the voice acting sounded like real people. Faye specifically sounds like a demo tape from a voice actor who does commercial work, in the "sexy" section of the reel. She doesn't sound like how any real person talks, IMO. She sounds like she's telling me about a sale at my local supermark, or trying to send me on a Jet2holiday.

I'll own that one.

SOLVED!
Holy flippin' A. That link fixed it. It was all exactly me: tmux, xterm-256color, etc. I've tried literally like 50 non-working fixes since some time last year (with months in between each attempt; I wasn't constantly banging my head against this wall). The fix was to just throw set term=screen-256color in my vimrc.
For posterity/completeness:
:set t_ut? is set to y.
I'm running bash.
$TERM is set to xterm-256color.
Thank you very much!

Maybe, but I can't seem to find anything like that. I've played with all the terminal settings, like all the color stuff. Nothing works.
gfixler
Sadly, did not work. Nothing ever works. It's the most resistant problem.
gfixler
Long time no see! It happens with any colorscheme, so doesn't seem to be Apprentice-specific.
gfixler
Yep, it's like the non-character background is the wrong color. Even in non-code, like just a text file, with no syntax highlighting turned on.

I'm really curious how you'll find the book. I read that first, then saw the film, and found it to be really frustrating. It blasts over about 1000 things that were deeply delved into in the book. Sometimes, two things that took chapters to figure out, really making you care about the hunt, and making the reveal/solution exciting, would be solved together in a single sentence, said off-handedly. The film really changes the personalities of many characters pretty radically, too.
A lot had to be done, because you couldn't make the film the way the book was (e.g. way too much internal monologue), but halfway through, I was just kind of fed up, and thinking "this should have been a miniseries". So many things I loved were cut, or minutenized to an afterthought. Stratt, in particular, was a completely different person, and the roles and personalities of our two heroes were really changed, and I think lessened greatly (though I did really like Rocky in the film, too—how can you not love him?).
I'm wondering if coming from the other direction, you'll not like the book, for opposite reasons.

I can't stand the taste of beer, so things like beer-battered... anything, I don't like. I'm hypersensitive to the flavor, and can taste it in things that no one else I know seems to be able to, though I'm not a supertaster, as far as I know. Slice sauce tastes okay, except that it does feel like it has a tiny hint of beer-battered flavor to it, which just turns me off. I don't think there's any beer in it, and I don't even know if that was a choice, like some secret flavor additive (according to GRAS, flavors don't have to be in the ingredients), but I still detect it, and it just makes it a no for me. Without that, I'd like it more, but still... meh. Much prefer ranch and marinara, back and forth, every other dip.

Here you go. I have two more...

And from the inside of those folded over ends, it's exactly 10" to the end of the brackets.
gfixler
The folded over bits, that look like they fit over an n×6, are about 5.5". I'm pressing the tape's hook into the end, for accuracy of distance. So yes, they would fit over a 6" board, given they're actually 5.5".
gfixler
Yeah, that was just an old, empty box I used to store these fasteners. Unrelated.
gfixler
I had wondered if I nicked them from somewhere—did a lot of that—but the kind of familiarity I have has me pretty sure they came with something I bought. Still a mystery! I did just go back out to the garage to try the bolts. They fit perfectly through the holes in the brackets. The large end of the wrench fits them perfectly, too. The screws make less sense. Also, there are two of the smaller lock washers, and one of the big. I missed a smaller one in my earlier photos.
Looks all white to me. Red oak pores are fully open. White oak looks like this, with tyloses blocking the pores.
