Because you're a software guy, and that's a hardware problem.
At least that's been my excuse for many things for many years...

I did the same thing Winter before last. It started snowing badly, so I bought new wiper blades before driving the 3 hours back home.
I was very disappointed in the quality of those Rain-X blades...

Probably this one based off Radix sort[^].

Actually, I think you are right - but for the wrong reason:
"A sort of cool vegetable" - "it's RAD(ish)"
Makes some sense when I think about it.

Well,
I've never used the word "Rad" in my life so I would have never guessed that.

I read that entire post using Cheech Marin as the narrator.

I did while wearing a protective suit and holding a Geiger counter in the hand.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Did I mention that I also had a complete squad behind me with loaded rifles[^]?

Hmmm,
Why didn't they need protective suits? Did they have you looking for the chem-light batteries, binnacle alignment tool or maybe the waveguide stretcher? You'd probably need a geiger counter to find all three of those tools.

I was past such fun activities and this was training for earning my next shoulder pads. Thank god. Detecting nuclear, biological or chemical contaminations and decontamination are no things I really want to have to do.

Yes. Radish.
But I'm not sure randomly guessing 6 letter vegetables should be classed as a win. You're obviously desperate to do it tomorrow.

See above: I think I understood it afterwards.
I was just illustrating how difficult "easy ones" are - I wasn't expecting to get the actual answer!
If you want to keep it for tomorrow, that's absolutely fine with me.

rad = cool
ish = sort of
sort of cool vegetable = Radish

I don't even understand how this works at CP, but it do. it do.
If you press WindowsKey + . (in win10 1803) a panel will pop up and you can type emojis.

The same way this works: δ½ ε₯½. It is just Unicode underneath it all.
