I have a kitchen slide rule that I use to scale recipes and do simple conversions. I used it last week when inflating a ball that had a target diameter in centimeters, but measuring the circumference was much easier and my measuring tape was in inches.

Watch out for Occam's Hacksaw: Any complex problem can be made to look simple by hacking away enough parts of it as "not essential", saying you'll handle them in version two.
Many filing cabinets in the US are also sized so you can put letter sized folders in one way, or rotate the folders 90 degrees and legal sized folders will fit correctly.
You might want to add the --http0.9 flag to curl, to tell it that getting a response of just "ok" (HTTP 0.9 style, body only without headers) isn't an error.
Grep is from an ed editor command: global (g) to apply a command to all lines that match a regular expression, a regex surrounded by slashes (/), and print (p) to display those lines. Or g/re/p for short. This proved a useful enough operation that they made it a separate command in the early days of Unix.
The minor difference is that :q! quits without saving but returns zero as the exit code, but :cq quits with a nonzero exit code. Git interprets the nonzero exit code as "editing failed", following the Unix convention that zero means success. If you didn't save the commit message while working on it, :q! will send the empty template back to Git, which Git is smart enough to not commit. But if you accidentally save your work partway through, :q! will still commit the message you wanted to abandon.
