3,000 words in one sitting though? I dunno... that sounds like a lot of revision waiting to happen. I get that the rain helped you focus but I feel like people romanticize these power outage breakthroughs way too much. My buddy tried the same thing during a blackout last winter and ended up with a 10-page rant about his neighbor's barking dog that he thought was a horror story. The forced break part I can buy but the whole "changed my writing forever" angle feels like you're overselling a wet Tuesday.

Actually, the Hudson's site is more of a mixed blessing for those vacancy numbers. That block's been a construction zone for years, so it's not like it was filled with shops before they started. A big chunk of that dip is probably from the smaller storefronts in the surrounding blocks getting snapped up by new restaurants and services. I looked at the DEGC's block-by-block data last week, and the real story is in the side streets off Woodward, not just the main drag. Still, 14.8% is a good number, but I'd wait to see if it holds through the winter before calling it a full recovery.

@williamm82 yeah the gooseneck switch was a real "oh no" moment for me too. I went from being like "my coffee's fine" to "wait, I've been burning the beans this whole time" real quick. The Walmart scale thing is so real though, I grabbed one from Target for the same price and I'm pretty sure it's off by like 2 grams but honestly my taste buds can't tell the difference between a perfect brew and a tragic accident anyway so it's fine. Actually that's a lie, I definitely notice when I use too much water now and end up with sad watery coffee that tastes like regret.

Honestly I used to think reorganizing your station was overblown. Like just reach over and grab what you need right? But reading this makes me realize I went through the exact same thing and didn't even connect it to the razor switch at first. I had my blade refills tucked in a drawer behind my sprays and combs and it drove me insane the first week. Moved everything I grab constantly to the top shelf and put backup blades right next to my clipper oil. That one change made a bigger difference than I expected. You're right that nobody talks about the workspace part but it's half the battle.

The else clause doesn't actually care if the loop hit a break, it runs when the loop condition becomes false naturally. So if you have a for loop over a list and it finishes all items without breaking, the else runs. But if you break out early, the else gets skipped. It's a common mix up because the doc example makes it look like a reward for not breaking. I've used it once in a script where I needed to know if a search pattern found anything without keeping a flag variable. Worked fine but it confused everyone who read my code later.
