Your most starred repo is inferior to a shell one-liner lol. Talk about pot calling the kettle black. Just use the system dict, shuf, grep, and head.

It’s bad form to badmouth someone’s earnest work for sure. I wouldn’t do it normally since I think it’s nice that you actually did something. But if you’re going to sit in a glass house and throw stones you should expect some back.

Fortunately, my house is an underground burrow so I can throw stones with impunity. As ugly as it is to do.

Dig a little deeper in the repos and you may eventually find that this is exactly what that started as :^)

Was speaking generally. Not meant at OP. I think it’s awesome that they are making a Minecraft server in Rust.

> Talk about pot calling the kettle black

Of course! Anything else would be bad form.

Sneaky, sneaky ;)

Haha fair play if you’re in the “we’re all clowns here” camp.
How do you throw stones out of an underground burrow?
With your arms, usually, but I’ve known people who use catapults.
Throwing a rock straight up through a vertical shaft? Checks out.
