Greywater generally involves cleaning products such as soaps. Your toilet bowl cleaner could probably take the paint off your walls. If you need to wear gloves to use a cleaning product your greywater is questionable. Unless there is some

I have programmed nearly every day at many different companies for 54 years. Nothing, NOTHING, I've written is useful anymore. My work at Worldcom, for example, simply vanished when the company collapsed.

I created a version years ago. The original source gets converted to morse code and then a dot->space, dash->tab So all you see is a page of spaces and tabs. A trivial compiler front end allows the "code" to compile.

I voted for his pay package. Why? Well, he made the deal years ago with outrageous performance targets, either meet them or don't get paid. He met the targets. Pay him. Oh, and he has to pay to get those shares. They aren't free.
