I have 5 tats. Some of them, I got because of a personal connection with the subject matter. Some of them I got because I thought they looked cool.

Some people regret getting tats later..my step-dad probably has a dozen silly little tats of flash art he got here and there. Popeye, a spider web on his elbow, etc. Some of that spur-of-the-moment-drunken tattooing, he regrets.

I don't regret any of mine, even the ones that i just thought were 'cool' and that didn't have any special significance other than that.

I found out a place nearby sells an Impossible burger, so decided to try it out. Experience-wise I'd say it's somewhat similar to a cheap cafeteria burger, but with better fixings. Not worth $10, but I wouldn't mind trying it again at some other place.

I just did the same in Universal Orlando. It wasn't bad. I'm hoping the Burger King trials pay off, because it would be nice to grab a fast food burger again.

My brain has a mind of its own. When it gets bored, it decides to entertain me with recollections of times past, made up stories, and songs.
It has been singing "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly" to me for the past hour.

I completely and utterly misread a submissions call. I thought they wanted fun horror, but instead it was general fun, like romance and adventure stories.

Woops. Not sure what to do with this story now.

I have a job interview in the morning. My friend who helped get me this interview apparently deemed it necessary to text me to remind me to "dress nice and wear normal shoes" tonight.

Look, just because I've spent the last 16 years wearing hawaiian shirts and sandals to work doesn't mean I've forgotten that everywhere isn't like that :p

I think it went pretty well. The guys interviewing me were not programming guys, and basically didn't ask me anything more complicated than "Do you know how to program" and "do you think you could pick up Python fairly easily?" Yeah, I had courses on C and J++ at NMT and A&M, I'm pretty confident I could get to grips with Python without much problem :p

Now I've changed back into my hawaiian shirt and sandals, and am back at the radio station, nobody the wiser... we'll see if this turns into an offer. Like I said, I think it went pretty well, but I've thought that about past interviews that ended up going nowhere, too...

Heh, that was kinda along the general lines of my thinking, too.

Python emphasizs "human readability". You should be fine.

Code: 
# Python program to check if the input number is prime or not

num = 407

# take input from the user
# num = int(input("Enter a number: "))

# prime numbers are greater than 1
if num > 1:
   # check for factors
   for i in range(2,num):
       if (num % i) == 0:
           print(num,"is not a prime number")
           print(i,"times",num//i,"is",num)
           break
   else:
       print(num,"is a prime number")
     
# if input number is less than
# or equal to 1, it is not prime
else:
   print(num,"is not a prime number")
I mean, I don't know python, and I find the code very easy to figure out.

Yeah, I glanced at it a bit years ago, it seemed pretty easy. Though, in your example, is the num=int(input line supposed to be #commented out like that? That's the only thing confusing me a bit.

I admit that I've never really tried to learn Python (or Ruby) either, but when speaking with people making an order of magnitude more per year than I do, they 1) say that the language I should learn is Python, and 2) that it's easy to pick up.

Exactly. They hard-coded it above, but the commented-out line would get it from user input.
