Is biology the only science where division is the same as multiplication?

Well, I looked down and asked my feet: mitosis that it makes sense. You nuclear-ly that you'd twin accolades with that ToD.

They maybe the "same", but multiplication is much more fun.

I dunno - I've never tried Mitosis.
Though there should be pr0n videos covering it if Rule 34 is indeed universal.

now what do I do with the rest of the day?
Seriously, I thought this custom import was going to be a pita. But it turned out logic actually worked on it and wonder of wonders(seriously here) my code ran correctly the first time thru.
So now I don't know whether to be scared and obsessively check the output for all 100,000+ records. Or watch netflix the rest of the day.
I honestly thought I wouldn't finish this until next week sometime. It took about 90 minutes. Totally at a loss.
Thoughts?

Ah well, you win a few and you lose a few. Buckle up for when it starts going down again.

Ninety minutes is far too long. Fix it.
The first 80% takes 20% of the time, the last 20% takes the other 80% of the time.

I always thought that was a 90/10 split rather than a 80/20 split.

You know that next thing on your list?
The one you scheduled for 4 hours?
If you start on it now you might be able to keep to your overall schedule!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

So something that I thought was easy was hard.
Been going at it for three days now (well, ok, two and a half) and it still doesn't work 
Planned about half a day for this

My own take on this:
If you were successful at the first time, you don't fully understand the problem.

Given my experience with this situation in my own professional history, karma is a [vindictive] old bitch, and the following has occurred:
1. Out of your 100,000+ records, some small number (less than 200) have been mishandled, and they are randomly distributed throughout the set.
2. The mishandled records include those for most of the senior levels of management at your employer, local government where you live, plus the leadership of local organized crime.
3. All of the bad records now produce incontrovertible evidence that those people are part of the QAnon conspiracy to sell children into sexual slavery. They also smoke in public buildings, and spit on sidewalks.
4. The records include a very clear identification of you as the source of the evidence.
