97a">It definitely looks better than whatever Made-in-China thing you would have bought at the store. What’s not to like?</p><p id="8691">My mom loves to sew, which means she has a basement full of fabric and old patterns. She was going to donate a monster garbage bag of patterns and I snagged the works. Oh yes, I did.</p><p id="1c14">I use the sewing pattern tissues to wrap gifts or ship stuff. People love how weird it is and my Texan friend Deb loves taking pictures of her birthday package when it arrives:</p><figure id="d7ff"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*F6LkRLTp_kh6QfwGrGJgYQ.jpeg"><figcaption>Photo by Deb, Author’s Friend.</figcaption></figure><p id="5c97">The vintage sewing pattern tissue is whimsical, can be reused and recycled and I could probably wallpaper a room with the amount I have in that bag. And no, I’m not sharing it with you.

Take heart.</p><p id="0fd5">Your house is full of stuff that has more than one use. Try looking at everything with new eyes. You’ll be surprised at how quickly the simplest of items can elevate the ordinary.</p><p id="d54c">I use thick, unusually shaped breadboards to serve hors d’oeuvres, or to set a hot pan of food on, or to bring a loaf of homemade bread with a knife and a dish of butter to the table. (Rustic chic made by a kid in high school shop class is available to you too from your local thrift store.)</p><p id="62a1">People love food, and sometimes the most thoughtful gift you can give is something you’ve made. Maybe you’re a whiz at whipping up preserved things like pickles, relishes and canned fruit and have some stashed downstairs.</p><p id="e80b">Or perhaps your homemade brownies, granola or bread makes people drool. You don’t need to go buy a fancy gift unless you want to. Your pantry probably has everything you need.</p><p id="7178">There’s a popular frugal movement to not buy groceries for a week or sometimes longer. These people shop from their house regularly. They clean out their pantries and freezers and look at the best-by dates on the cans of tomatoes and use them up instead of having to throw them out later.</p><p id="0167">They aren’t cheapskates. They are brilliant.</p><p id="b8db">Because food waste in America (and the western world in general) is at an all-time high of <a href="https://www.usda.gov/oce/foodwaste/faqs.htm">30–40%</a>.

Error when entering backticks on AWS EC2 instance in shell

Backticks make the text go all over the place

Entering backticks on the command line in a bash shell on an AWS EC2 instance leads to all kinds of wonky behavior. Is it the backticks? Or because I have multiple tabs open? Or…??? Here’s what happens.

I was trying to do something like the query in the commands in this story.

Getting Account Number by Account Name with the AWS CLI

ACM.239 Also, the joys of AWS CLI Filtering and Querying

medium.com

I had all kinds of strange behavior trying to run that scirpt.

Now I’m trying to run a separate query usign that same functionality but for AWS Organizational Units.

What happens when I enter the backticks is that the cursor jumps to the line above where it should be.

I start by copying and pasting this line into the command shell:

I change the name of the command — so far so good.

I add a space and two dashes so I can add the parent-id parameter and I get this:

UGH. What is that? There’s no way for me to edit this now.

If I hit enter and hit the up arrow to get the last line I typed…

That is not what I typed.

If I try to backspace the whole line disappears. The cursor jumps up a line which is not right at all. It should never go back a line.

If I hit enter, it appears to execute something I can’t see. Thankfully it was an invalid command since I have no idea what just ran.

I type clear and then the up arrow. I get something somewhat promising. Maybe I can work with this.

As I’m typing “OrganizationalUnits” my cursor randomly jumps to the right and now I have duplicate text.

So, this is a pointless exercise. I can try to write it in a script instead. Sometimes when I logout and log back in it works.

But whatever is going on here is 100% a bug.

Well, I just tried this on my local Mac and the same thing happens there. So perhaps there’s something bigger than AWS going on here. But it doesn’t look good, whatever it is. I really don’t have time to dig into this. Behind on a pentest…
