Glad you asked! 
The πrepresent your raise to greatness... to space and beyond! 
As to how?
Windows 10, that how!
If you have it, try 'WINDOWS' + '.' key combination! 
The secret is out!

My son sent me a link to a music theory video What Makes this Song Great? Ep.63 RUSH (#2). Now I'm jamming to Moving Pictures!

IMHO, Moving Pictures is one of their best. 'The Camera Eye' and 'Witch Hunt' are the epics that nobody ever mentions. Cover to cover, a great album.
Did you know that the cover art illustrates 3 different meanings of the title? Very clever!

Very true! I'd also add 'Vital Signs' to that list. One of my first concerts, great band.

What a silly question, when the answer is right there at the very end of the title.

I crave weird things when I am on a coding jag. A lot of times heavy on grains or starch, sometimes fish or peanuts, and sugar. Anything I can readily metabolize that my brain tends to like, I think.
Do you get weird code related food cravings?
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

beer or similar: enough of it and any code cravings are definitely cured.

I also prefer a couple of pints whilst coding.
As it turns out, however, they're pints if strong strong coffee.
Does that count?

I think would I prefer sushi to sashimi for breakfast because sushi has rice too. I don't eat breakfast very often though so I would postpone it to the lunch time.

I only sleep 2 to 4 hours a night so my day starts really early. My lunch is usually most people's breakfasts so you and I have that in common, it's just that my day can start as early as midnight, meaning even a 6am breakfast is basically lunch. =)

I don't sleep very much either but I am very much a night owl. I have spent so much time playing music all night that it's become ingrained. I am more apt to be going to bed at dawn than waking up at dawn.

Coffee and nicotine, in bulk. The first place where I worked featured not only great coffee, but also an ash-tray next to the keyboard.
Trying to be healthier by eating more pizza; it is part of the Mediterranean diet. Consider it freshly baked bread with lots of fruits, veggies, and cheese

Sounds familiar. I even switched to a vape so i could stop going outside all the time (i won't smoke tobacco in doors - it makes stuff stink)
coffee and nicotine with my sashimi please.

As a person who used to work across from someone who would vape at his desk all the time, vaping makes stuff stink too. Not quite as permanently as tobacco but still annoying.
Of course if you work remotely that isn't so much of a problem.
