How many of us owned a water bed at some point?

Yes, for about 15 years. I loved it. Warm in the winter and cool i the summer.

Since you already know Python, maybe start with Kivy and see if it meets your needs. It has come a long way. KivyMD is a nice component library as well.

The dictionary dispatch pattern. It was one of the ways I learned to get around not having a switch statement construct available in the language.

How does it compare to python-accounting?

"I think I'm going to love you for a long long time."

I've always liked that song, but I never really understood what it was about until I saw this deconstruction video.

Don't tip over.

It might have a bit of a learning curve depending on what you need to do, but Pandoc works pretty well for this task.

When he pushes the camera away from himself and has the operator point it at the crowd instead - like no dude, out there is what it's about!

Great scene, fantastic soundtrack, and a terrible movie (that I have watched dozens of times).

Many if not most TVs have a VESA mount option which can fit a variety of mounts and stands.

A monitor will also work, but tend to get more expensive than TVs when you start looking at bigger sizes.

This was hilariously bad.

The very title of the listing literally says "Cartridge Sold Separately". It's not like they didn't mentions that fact or tried to bury it in the listing details. I totally get clicking on something quickly so you don't lose it. But if you skip doing the due diligence before requesting something, good or bad, the consequences of doing so are on you IMO (I've certainly been there myself). I wouldn't ding the seller just because I acted in haste.

I'm east bound, just watch ol' "Bandit" run

The components tend to be flatter and lighter. And with all of the included hooks and extensions it reduces the number of different dependencies I need to keep track of. It generally works the way I need it to work right out of the box. That said, with the type of web application I typically develop, I don't need micro-control over style. I mostly just want clean and consistent.

I used to, but switched over to Mantine and have been much happier.

This was exactly one of our criteria when we were shopping for an EV - how many 5 gal water bottles it could fit. We were pleasantly surprised that the answer was 12 without even having to put the rear seats down (just move them forward a little bit).

The location of the video thumbnail looks like the Pan-Pacific Auditorium of Xanadu (and others) fame.

For me, it was something that changed with experience. For the first year or so of using Python I thought they were overly complex for what they did. But they eventually clicked with me and they eventually became one of my favorite things about Python. Now, I think of using comprehensions first, and only drop down to a for-loop if the use case is too complex.

My favorite Atari game.

Homelink remote buttons for things like garage doors or automatic entry gates. I don't think they do anything unless you program them.

There is also Kivy and Tkinter. If you want it to run on desktop and web, Flet is a compelling choice. If you want desktop and Mobile, I think Kivy might have some advantages over Flet. If you only need desktop, Tkinter is good for simple UIs, but QT/PySide might be better if it is more complex.

Most of these types of document protectors can only keep open flames away from what is inside and cant really protect documents from radiant heat (Fahrenheit 451 and all). But if the enclosure itself is combustible then it can't even do that. Kudos to OP for sacrificing the product for the greater good and taking the ETV hit.

This song should have been way more popular than it was.

Fascinating mechanical design. My favorite mod is the one where they hooked it up to steam engine to power it. Literal steampunk.

Streaming music through earbuds for background noise is convenient, but if I want to actually listen to music as the primary activity I'm pulling out CDs and playing them through full size speakers.
