An old trick with scriptwriting is that if you go over beat, you calculate by how much, then cross out the appropriate number of words.
E.g. if you've got ten beats, but your lines run to fifteen beats, rather than agonise for ten minutes over how to rewrite it, just cross out every third word, and tidy it up. Done in a trice. After a few times, you can do the edit without actually crossing out the words.
I find that I'm doing pretty much that with my ears, lately. I just blank every second or third word spoken in certain meetings, and come away with a lot more sense than if I'd listened to them all.

Ah! Herself does something similar: she listens to one word in three and makes the other two up... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Hmm.
Very good.
This is why I say that appropriate use cases should be included in the explanation of every process.

LOL! I know. I thought that too.
Honestly, from the outside you often think, "fighting / boxing arts are just two dimwits knocking eacher other around". But people on the inside know the challenge of examining the opponent from every perspective and hacking their way into beating the other person.
If you watch Urijah's first bout ever avaialable on YouTube you'll see that he beat his much more experienced opponent with a grappling technique in the first round and Urijah wasn't even hurt.

I think that is the point, "thinking differently". There are some interesting analogies to wrestling another person with wrestling with a difficult progrmaming problem.

I'm having difficulty in getting past that terrible title. It's ridiculously redundant.
It'd be like one of us writing a book titled The Laws of Programming: The Laws of Coding by <Insert Screen-name Here>

I've tried beating the crap out of my code, but the crap is tenacious, and beating it just caused the bugs to multiply, and then there's the awful sound of that damned whimpering, and the accusing look that breaks your heart.

I tried the flowers, hell, I even tried an expensive perfume ... soft music, frequent complements that either praised the code or indirectly exalted it by denigrating myself as unworthy to be the humble typing-slave thereof ... my code just hissed and spit at me.
But, isn't that what a relationship always gets down to, sooner, or later ?

You will not need them. You have a cat. Just as much hair and more diverse sound effects.

At least it already works with one cat when you lie still in your bed.

The red one is safe enough.
Just leave it at home, if you go away.
