      Bwahaha:

      1. Even if you do want a pizza, you should probably be careful with this provider. In testing, I once nearly ordered every item on the Domino’s menu, which would probably have been expensive and embarrassing.

      Reminds me of the old adage:

      A computer lets you make more mistakes faster than any invention in human history – with the possible exceptions of hand guns and tequila.

      In the early days of the pandemic…and the early days of my Ansible learning…I set up a playbook to scrape several websites for hand sanitizer and Clorox wipes.

      If it found one in stock, it would email my cell phone carriers SMS gateway. Tasker would then make a loud audible alert.

      Ran for weeks before it found some in stock. And then it did. At 2am. And again at 2:05, and 2:10, and 2:15…

      And it was an error on the shops webpage. It wasn’t actually orderable…once it got in your cart, it wouldn’t let you check out.
