I'm a bit too terrified of even attempting to write a PEP for it, but I kind of wish it could be possible to index a Python dict using a non-keyed iterable (list, tuple, set) and get a dict as a result of it.

Something like this:
dict[list] => dict_where_keys_in_list

An alternative idea could be extending set ops to allow dicts in the rhs, so:

dict & set => dict_where_keys_in_set
dict - set => dict_where_keys_not_in_set

But the new dict needs to preserve insertion order of the original dict.

........ I might actually switch tac now and refactor the script into one that generates an output summary of unit fractions 1/q for q in [min,max] in **N** just as a means of comprehending this by having to write it into Pythonic terms.

Knowing the math beforehand means instead of using regular expressions, I can just generate the digit strings and then slice into them.

Okay, so, trying to pick apart the behaviour of the decimal repr's of unit fractions has gone just far enough outside of my mathematical wheelhouse that I've had to actually do research on Math Wikipedia™ and spoil myself a little bit on the solutions that I sought, and uh...

Wow.

This is a whole lot more interesting than I thought it would be, but would have taken me far too long to figure it all out entirely on my own.

@Alkaris Oh my gods I am exactly like this. x.X

Luke: “you knew my father?”

Obi-wan: “Oh yes. That guy was a dick. Accidentally born stuffed full of magic force-bugs, lucked out a few times pod racing as a child, basically peaked there. Grew up an entitled, incompetent jackass. Crap pilot, liability in a fight, couldn’t stop acting like some crybaby incel even after one of the most powerful women in the galaxy inexplicably took a liking to him, finally carved up a kindergarten and got made an alt-right hero for it. [smiles] Flammable tho.”

@Aster_Nubis129 Calyo has a security detail not for her own protection, but for the safety and protection of those whom have not (yet) been Re-Created by Her, since she herself cannot be meaningfully killed by many conventional means. Her security guards leap to action to protect everyone else *around* her. 😏

@flesh I like to imagine that a space that's been "infested" by Calyo has a mycelial network of gooey roots spread throughout it, but you wouldn't be able to tell because all of it is kept just barely out of sight and space by being translated a little bit to the side in a fourth spatial dimension.

You wouldn't even know that every surface of Calyo's palace and the grounds surrounding it is crawling with tendrils of her goo unless you can see in four spatial dimensions. 😈

Once again back to thinking about the more fungal-inspired eldritchness of Calyo and pining for some good art to depict that...

Sleeping in latex always ranges from incredibly cozy 🥰 to kind of difficult to do 😩 depending on what or how much I'm wearing when I go to bed.

But waking up in latex that I've just slept in always ranges from incredibly cozy 🥰 to incredibly hot and arousing 🥵 and I can't get enough of that. >///////>;;

@Aster_Nubis129 Good to know!

Vinegar is unreasonably effective as a cleaner and food-safe disinfectant oml

Vinegar: Heated & discolored mineral deposits at the bottom of the tea kettle? What mineral deposits? idk what you're talking about. 😇

Vinegar: Nascent mold and bacterial growth on the lids of your tea thermos and tea mug? What mold and bacterial growth? idk what you're talking about. 😇

No wonder housewives of þe olden days swore by vinegar as a household cleaner. O..o

Treating myself to a slice of cinnamon crumb cake for my hatchday after a hatchday stromboli and I keep getting reminded that the "crumb" in its name really ain't lyin'

It's a very very messy kind of cake.

...... Well, shit.

The regex fell apart for higher values of q. 😂 😭

So looks like I'm back to composing a bespoke one for each value q using predicted values and then conducting further analysis of the captured substrings with additional regexes.
