> Healthcare in Canada is essentially not available.

Do you live in Canada??

This is a ridiculous comment - healthcare is broadly available, especially for critical conditions.

Perhaps in a few years we can have another PEP, to require "except BaseException" to be replaced with bare "except:". Then we can all change our code back again.

I read this book:

     <https://books.google.ca/books/about/Artificial_Intelligence_Through_Simulate.html?id=QMLaAAAAMAAJ>
in 1972. It was published in 1966.

Fixed a Hayward salt generator by replacing a burnt out thermistor.

Cost was $1.00 for two of them, so I now have a spare.

Replacing the entire PCB would have been ~$400+ CAD.

I've had several kidney stones - usually at about one year intervals.

The first was the worst because you don't know what it is. Subsequent stones didn't seem to be as bad, since I knew I was going to survive.

The emerg doc told me that some ladies say the pain worse than childbirth.
