    This reminds me of ‘The Jules Test’. Popularised (hyper locally) by my friend Jules.

    When renting a flat, simply head straight to the bathroom and flush the toilet. If the toilet flush is good, the flat is fine.

    That reminded me of how fast/instant Winamp loads the huge directory (recursively), while other players struggle. Scrolling reveals that files are being loaded lazily (obviously), but the most interesting part is that Quick search and Jump to file works immediately.

    And here I thought this was going to be, “do a push up every time you have to look up a word in the dictionary while reading Moby Dick.”

      Or how to stay fit like an 1800s whaler. Where am I going to find a hook and a 200 pound chunk of whale blubber though?
