A fast locate-like tool that you can carry with you in your dotfiles, that only uses basic binaries available on most systems. Searches through a compressed database of file locations on your hard drive that you can search with "flocate". I called it flocate to avoid conflicts on systems that have a proper installation of locate.

I discovered this trick while trying to do some quick investigation in Vim, and
not wanting to have to leave the editor, found a way to quickly replace Python
code (or anything you can pipe to an external command) with it's output in Vim.
What you do is, write the code inside a buffer, then select it in visual mode.
Once it's selected, press : and you will get Vim's :'<,'>
range, which
means all the text between the beginning and end of the visual cursor.

I couldn't find something to check my powerball numbers online without downloading some phone app. I just wanted to plug in my numbers, and see if I won anything without having to check each line one-by-one and figure it out manually. So I spun off a ticket checker from my simulator so I don't have to do that anymore.
