We're up to 5 buttons now, with different functions whether held long, or together.

To be more realistic, the ladies should have a varying number of limbs and appendages.

• Any work or study done during an all-nighter is a waste.

• If you meet someone and all they do is talk about themselves, they won't be a good friend.

• Nobody really cares how you look or what you wear. And anyone who does has bigger issues they would rather not deal with.

"Given a list of strings, print the contents of the list to the screen."

print(stringlist)

or if you want to get fancy:

print(", ".join(stringlist))

When do I start? I feel like I nailed it.

Interviewed at two big, well-known tech companies. Had done a lot of mobile dev work at the time, but really wanted to switch to connected hardware and told the recruiters.

Showed up for the first on-site interview. Guy walks in. Explains the actual first interviewer couldn't make it so he was a last-minute stand-in. Goes: "So, it says here you are intererested in mobile. That's good. My team is looking for someone like that."

I explained it was actually the other way round. What proceeded was an awkward hour of bullshit questions about train schedulers and sorting algorithms. Repeat five times that day. Every. Single. One.

Second company a few weeks later. Same thing. Except this time, 2/3 of the way through, a manager in HW group walks in. Grouses why he was asked to talk to someone, checks notes, about mobile. We had the greatest conversation after I set him straight. He wanted me to come back and do another loop just with his group. Except a week later, they announced a hiring freeze and I never heard back.

In retrospect, it was a good thing. I would not have been a good fit.

He has a chance to reach the all-important under-25 demographic.

The archaeologists 1000 years from now are going to be so confused.

Many pumps come with built-in timers so you can turn them off when sleeping. You can also connect them to smarthome switches and set a routine to turn them on and off only when needed or via remote apps, wireless switches, or voice control (Alexa, turn pump on.)

We found the cost savings to be non-trivial. Main reason I put one in was because we had a teenager who started the shower running, then went away and got distracted. This solved the problem. And with a smarthome controller, it also reduced costs.

Also, those under-sink instant heaters do exist, but they're only good for a single faucet. They won't work with showers and baths.

That's why I put 'timed' in there. You can program when they shut off so it just goes back to the way it was before. Like when sleeping or out of the house.

A more fine-grain solution is to get a non-timer (cheaper) version of the pump, and one of those Alexa, Google, or Homekit compatible power switches, then not only can you set the time through a smart home routine, but can override them whenever walking out or coming back.

If using a traditional water heater, you're heating the whole tank all the time. And with a tankless but no pump, you're running gallons of clean water down the drain, waiting for it to get warm. It's all a tradeoff, but this, at least, only heats the water circulating inside your pipes and only during the hours you set.

If you have a tankless water heater, and have to run the tap for a really long while to get hot water, look into timed recirculating pumps. It'll save you a ton of money and make you kick yourself for not doing it sooner.

"Did I already shampoo? Can't remember."

(Apply a small dab of shampoo. Foams up instantly).

"Dammit, yes."

Day I got married.

Next would be the time the bartender offered me the half pint of beer for free while he went to change the keg.
