Music fan Erina leads off this week with a double contraction! "Who knew Tom Waits was such a gravelly-voiced Relational Database poet?" she Mused. "You'd've thought that SQL modes was more of an indy garage esthetic." You might've, Erina, but I wouldn't've.
This week's opening Error'd submission required a bit of translation for
the monoglots among us, but it was worth the work. Not speaking even
een beetje of Dutch, I was forced to use Google's own translation
service to see what it was that had so worried our friend
Sebas. And it's a doozy.
"...seek help - Child abuse images are illegal" warns
Google's AI, inferring lewd Low Countries Linux links.
For his part, Sebas takes it in stride,

Loyal reader Aubrey leads off with an insider report, writing "Corporate IT recently migrated the entire company to a new antivirus program, and it seems to have flagged *its own update* as likely malware." That's what we call fastidious.
Last week we lightly brushed on the novel conspiracy theory that perhaps the HBO hullabaloo had been intentionally inspired by their social media team, and suggested you might join them. Apparently the media managers at Subway had been hungering for publicity as well.
TDWTF sandwich specialist Carlos buttered us up, saying "I'm sure you've received a ton of these already [ed: we hadn't], but what's one more?"
The most eventful day in Error'dland narrowly missed our publication window last week. As everyone must surely know by now, somebody at HBO Max was testing in production. And the Internet blew up.
It's been quite a few years since I was last in Silicon Valley. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if some enterprising restaurateur has unveiled a trendy pub and stolen all the humorous thunder from Sean's submission. I'll be more surprised if they haven't.
