!TIL: The need of full paths to other files in a #python script which is started as cronjob is also given when another script/program is 'call'ed by that script from a path that is stated in $PATH for the user whose crontab is running the script. So if you want to start a program from /usr/sbin from a script that is started by root's crontab, it must be called with /usr/sbin/$program. $PATH seems not to apply.

...and !TIL to proofread messages before posting ("the unwanted side-effect of *assigning* 5 to y")
-
And !TIL that Yoda Conditionals are actually a pretty good idea: If you accidentally mistype 'if (5 = y)' then the compiler barfs instead of getting the unwanted side-effect of adding 5 to y with 'if (y = 5)' https://discourse.codinghorror.com/t/new-programming-jargon/41/5

!til about lemon market - when a buyer is uninformed or has no means to know about the quality of a product he/she is more willing to pay only the average price of a high quality product (peach) and a low quality product (lemon). This drives away high quality good producers and results in a market of inferior quality products (lemon market)
