    ...are you supposted to reach the [Balmer Peak](https://xkcd.com/323/) on a Saturday evening when you discover that you have already drunk all your GOOD liquor in the liquor cabinet??? Is it really necessary to start on all the bottles you have collected on all your strange vacation locations but don't really like? Who wants to work on a saturday evening anyway? (but is forced to do so because he didn't do the job he was supposed to do during the week :-( ) Can't somebody just send me the codez plzzzz? :confused:

              I have found that under those conditions, the code just works. Never try to understand how it works - you never will. Just accept that it does.

                  That's my experience as well. Ok, the whole Balmer Peak thing may be a joke, but I've found that my programming is actually just a little bit better if I'm slightly sloshed (but not too much) :-)

                    Walk to the nearest shop selling good booze, and buy another bottle?

                      Ooooh, you don't know Sweden, I can tell. SO much double standards when it comes to alcohol here. No shops open at late hours, I'm afraid...

                                    Ooooh, you don't know Sweden, I can tell. SO much double standards when it comes to alcohol here. No shops open at late hours, I'm afraid...

                                    In Sweden you learn to plan. :^) The problem is those people who overplan, if you get my spin.

                                          That's my experience as well. Ok, the whole Balmer Peak thing may be a joke, but I've found that my programming is actually just a little bit better if I'm slightly sloshed (but not too much) :-)
