Python script for plotting my weight over time
""" plot_my_weight.py
This is a simple scatter-and-line plot of my body weight at various times. The challenge is that
the data is very irregular. This program reads in a CSV of this form:
datetime,weight(lbs),Steps,Meals,Calories,Run (km),anything,else...
2010-02-18,165
2010-02-25,156.6
2010-03-11,154.4
2022-06-22,159.1,10000,2,1500,5,...

I want to but a cheap robotic vaccuum.

Hunting for a Cheap Robot.

It is 2020 and for some reason I don't have a robot cleaning up after me.

My requirements:

  1. Cheap. - Well, as cheap as I can get.
  2. No spyware. - I don't want this thing to have wifi or phone home to it's parent corporation. I am it's parent.

Burg Frankenstein

This is a village so iconic it inspired one of the first horror / sci-fi novels. There is a creepy-ass castle over-looking a tiny village that winds along a little river in a deep valley cut through the mountains:
