Mod points, I wish I had them.
And yet if you had no pause button and needed to take a longer bathroom break you'd be SOL. So trying the "pause" button, and you can stop far a break for however long you need.
I like breaks where natural breaks happen. Sure, if the phone rings or someone is at the door I stop where I am. But otherwise I will take breaks at a commercial.
I have been known to hit the slow button at the beginning of a break to leave the room. That way I have much longer than the break and I am not burning anything into my screen. A few times I have gotten into a conversation and it has even gone into the show. But not so far that a few presses of the 8 seconds back button on my Tivo won't set me up.
It might use slightly more bandwidth
I can see the lawsuits with "I should have gotten the 40 byte no address, instead of the your 1 meg ad fest. Why are you taking my internet away due to your invisible cap."
Regardless of if you are in a math heavy career or not, you aren't going to waste your time doing it by hand, you'll use a calculator which is faster and more accurate.
Well, strictly not if that calculator gives you decimals instead of a remainder besides the whole number and that number has to be carried over elsewhere.
Or you need a better calculator or learn to better use the one you have. Even the MS Calculator has an Int function and a memory.
big/little = big / little MS = - Int = * MR =
The superior RPN is left to others.
Also, your email address increases in value when being sold inbetween spammers. Effectively, you make the A-list among spammers.
More like B-list. A-list is for those saps who actually buy the stuff. I've helped someone whose mother fell for a "charity" that ended up with more spam that I thought an individual could get. It even got to be a hassle dealing with tons of snail mail.
I am in Mobile as well. Our driveway is nearly solid orange due to crushed acorns. My parents in Montgomery have the same problem. So it is definitely a regional phenomenon.
Or how about a doctor who needs to be accessible immediately
Or the person on the transplant list that has to wait for years. It isn't just people on call.
For a small one look for a violet wand, an old quack medical device that is a mini handheld tesla coil. They are still being made for "sensation enthusiasts" so most sites that sell them are very NSFW. Prices are all over the place, but can be cheap at rummage sales and flea markets. The older/cheaper ones had a wax core and would overheat with extended use the newer designs can run for very long times.
For building: look up plans and scrounge. Or go the route we went through and get your company to sponsor you for the fall festival haunted house.
For a short while we had a rotating on call pager as well as our personal work pager. We changed companies on the personal ones while I had the on call. So I had 3 for a week of the overlap. Since I kept my pager on a silver chain leash (they leash me I leash it) I would just clip the other(s) to the chain.
I pulled the whole lot out to check the time at a SCA meeting and got a lot of questions about my collection. I told them I was taking donations, and ended up with 9 on the chain for the rest of the meeting. Wish I got a photo. None got a page while I had them.

Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.
