Imagine if your car or bike manufacturer sent you a box of 570 new parts and said you had to replace them to fix the poor engineering and design of the product or else you are the one who will be considered negligent, not the negligent multi-trillion dollar corporation. And it will happen again every month for the foreseeable future. But it's on you to perform the replacements yourself.

You know how there are weird tricks with computer stuff that you think everyone knows but they don't? I live learning and teaching new things like those when they come up.
Today's was the carat substitution in bash. It probably works in other shells too but IDK, I'm too old to learn a new shell.
The way it works is fairly similar to the / in sed or similar. You can use them to run the previous command but with a string substitution.
For example, let's say I entered this command: dig A cascadiacrow.org
When it fails to resolve, I realize it was a .com domain. Rather than retyping the command, or hitting the up arrow to change the previous command, you could do this: ^org^com^
And it would run: dig A cascadiacrow.com
Kind of cool with those one liners you spend way too much time on and find a typo.
Anyway, I used it and someone thought it was magic so if it's new to you too, happy Monday.
