Being able to take out the battery so that I can swap it with a pre-charged one. Those were great times. Then you can just throw the nearly-dead one on the charger.

This is identical to having the super power of being able to restart your phone to get a full battery charge.

    I'm sure Chuck Schumer will get to the bottom of this after he finishes his book tour on antisemitism in America while being completely tone-deaf on the absolute disdain many of us have for our tax dollars supporting a genocide in the 21st century.

    This was a good blog post. I have started using approach #3 as well for just about every situation where I was originally planning on just using a enum type by itself. Inevitably I end up needing to apply shared state to all of my enums (create date, parent table ID, etc.) and this approach has really worked out very well. You can also add some convenience functions for returning if the kind is one of the variants (ex: IsKeywordSearch) to make if-statements easier to read (and a match on the type enum is overly verbose when you don't need the properties contained within the enum itself).

    I had a similar experience with square roots, writing both the positive and negative answers. It's wild for a teacher to actively reject correct answers because "that's not what we learned today" (the negative answers, in my case).
