@aescling i think she believes it but sometimes she does send me shit she thinks is funny so i don't know haha

@Satsuma the only cheap way is leaving at 5:45 on wednesday morning and then departing at 10pm that same day. Its $35 total

@Satsuma it would require some walking but it would be worth it I think

@Satsuma the round trip to and from penn station using public transportation is about six bucks

@Satsuma yeah the repair station is a leisurely 48 minute walk from penn station lol

@Satsuma i'll make the trip there next week if the repair fee + gas is not egregious

@Satsuma even if its not the nearest repair center is in fucking New York

@Satsuma its possible it will be cheaper to simply buy a new one

@Satsuma no i asked her what we'll need to do to fix it and it will be a Pain In The Ass

@aschmitz it was form so bad that the other roommates assumed she had never done it before (she had, in fact, done it before.)

re: ⚠️ i've been writing python for most of my time on earth ⚠️ 

@vaporeon_ @monorail @The_T normally in OOP, object instantiation logic is contained within a constructor, but Python decided to split the process into two steps:

1) __new__ is a function which returns the instantiated object,
2) __init__ is a function that receives the instantiated object and and initializes its state

It is very rare that a Python programmer ever use __new__. In 99% of cases, what you would put in a constructor in some other language is put in the __init__ method when you use Python.

You can override __new__, however, so that it returns anything you want. You typically do this when you subclass immutable types. Because, if you try to manipulate a subclassed immutable object in the __init__ function, well you can't. Because its immutable. So you have to override the creation of the object itself, typically by calling the superclass's constructor, in the __new__ method.
