inI'm tired of people ignoring the historic mill pond for the shiny new plaza

inHow my beginner Python script for train times in Italy sent me on a wild goose chase
Classic mix-up between arrivals and departures, the programmer's version of showing up to a party on the wrong day. At least you got a free Italian lesson from a patient train guy, lol. Your script basically did the opposite of what you wanted, which is a pretty solid summary of my early coding attempts too. That's a travel story you won't forget.

inQuestion on pre-cut meat from a messy family dinner
