I didnt know this existed, thank you so much! Looks very solid, in particular, the tequila drawer looks amazing! Any connection to github.com/tequilahub/t... ot coincidence?

complete darkness at 5pm is just not something I will ever get used to 🥲

To be fair the first week after switching back from daylight saving time feels like having one extra hour per day, but that never lasts long.

I totally get that some people prefer it. I just feel like true early birds by choice of profession still have to get up in the dark anyway 🤷

Wait, daylight saving time is summer time, right? That one, I love! But I guess that is not what you mean :D That "exact <boom> it's winter" moment is what hits me hard every year.

Consider this a warning. Factoring small numbers is a bad benchmark. Because the key to factoring small numbers isn’t making the quantum computer "work well". That’s the key to factoring *large* numbers. For small numbers it's sufficient to generate a far-too-large circuit, and light the fuse.
