“Raw milk is better for you as long as you boil it” so true bestie now imagine if we could like. Super boil it. To really get all the bacteria out. And if we could do that quickly and efficiently. Imagine that.

maybe orpheus always looks back because his very effort to reverse death means that he can't look forward. if he could look forward, he could accept eurydice's death, grieve, and keep moving in life. his refusal to accept her death is looking back. his going down to the underworld, asking hades and persephone for her life, trying to lead her out... it's all 'looking back'. he does nothing for the entire story except look back. orpheus! looks! back! it's his entire thing! the story ends the same way it begins: orpheus looked back.

i just have to throw my hat in the ring that the research project I'm currently working on can be summed up as 'every variable name is a sentence'.

tedious, but preferable to every variable name being something like a, which is a completely different variable from A and _a and all of them are globals

The worst one I've got was when I inherited a project to finish, as the previous grad student who was working on it had left. The code was brutally sparse, efficient, full of lambdas (which I hate), and single-letter variables. It was very well commented (I assume), but all the comments were all written in Mandarin Chinese.
