I once knew a young lady who believed you needed to drink 8 pints (yep that long ago) of water per day. She would line up 5 milk bottles (yep milk came in bottles in those days) of water on her desk to be drunk during work hours. She would have loved this IoT.

What we need is an IOT thingy that lets you know when your beer glass/bottle is empty and automatically orders another one.

And they eat double portions of bool all night long at the char broiler.

Interesting statement; perhaps you can give us some pointers on the subject? From what I heard, in France, when they disapproval of code when the non-de-script.

It is more fun to ask there that googling it:
What is the origin of the word "bucks"? I was thinking maybe greenbacks, but probably not. BTW in Russian (or in Belorussian) slang you may hear "baksi/baxi".

Back in the day people paid with bunnies.
A bunny was quickly called a "bugs" as in "Bugs Bunny" (yes, Bugs Bunny is older than the dollar!).
Of course the bunnies were traded for dollars.
Over time "bugs" became "bucks" as to not confuse a dollar with an actual bug.
Relating to the word "bug", the software term bug also comes from Bugs Bunny!
Although there's a strong rumor about it coming from actual bugs which would sit on the hardware and get fried it actually refers to Bugs Bunny who was really trolling Elmer Fudd (a hunter, why do you think we go "hunting for bugs"?).
Since software "bugs" are trolling developers and there's no greater troll than Bugs Bunny it makes perfect sense.
A quick Google would've told you the same

Which cost more Beer Nuts or Deer Nuts?
Beer Nuts because Deer Nuts are under a buck.

I male rabbit is called a buck (just like the deer).
I think we should go back to using bunnies... it would be easier to make your money multiple

Wouldn't that be more like "tip" or "bribe" like you'll hear in most middle east countries:

Good question, I went to ask Buck Dharma, who I found sharpening a Buck knife he was gonna use to skin a buck he'd just shot. He passed the buck by claiming not to know, nevertheless I offered him a buck or two for his time, but he declined, as he is one to buck the trends. The only positive that came out of the meeting was that neither of us was buck naked.
