  1. The #idiom “to kill two #birds with one stone” means accomplishing two things with a single action or with a lesser effort than normally we need. This expression exists in other languages with a rich variety of different #animals: #rabbits and #hares, #flies, #pigeons, and #sparrows. They are either hunted or killed. In some languages, however, there is no explicit reference to any animal (green color).

    Is there a #bike specific #phrase or #idiom that is equivalent to the phrase 'running on fumes'?

    We don't actually need a special constant for this; this is a pretty standard Python #idiom:

    NOT_SET = object()

    def f(a: int, b: int = NOT_SET):
    if b is NOT_SET:
    # function called without second argument
    ...

    NOT_SET is a bare object, which will never compare equal to anything else, and is a singleton so the natural test is #object #identity. It absolutely distinguishes between "no argument" and "caller happened to pass the #default value #explicitly".
