I have a folder full of github repos, plus one more subfolder called notarepo where I put throwaway code that I don't want to push to github.

In some states, every library has access to a state-wide collection of (Overdrive) ebooks. Some libraries will provide a library card to people out of state, for free or for a nominal charge. Taken together, that means you can get access to a state-wide ebook collection in another state.

Functions returning a tuple, and being able to unpack the result into variables when called.

The Scholomance series by Naomi Novik, starting with A Deadly Education. Fiendishly clever setting.

It would help if the library's online catalog would indicate, when it lists the books you have out, which books have people waiting for them. Some online catalogs do, some don't.

I want future generations to look at our medicine the way we look at humors, bloodletting and leeches. I want future generations to refer to now as the Dark Ages.

And tax help. Both the estate and the deceased may need to file with the IRS. But I guess the lawyer can tell you that.
