Use a lens cap. With a lens cap on the lens the light meter circuit draws exceedingly little current - about the same order of magnitude as just letting the cell sit unconnected.
If I could somehow fit a switch onto my K1000 for the meter it would get more use.

I don't like capping and uncapping throughout the day. I want my camera ready to go when I carry it.

The point was to document a trip he took with friends, not to take artistically excellent photos. He himself said as much in the video. Not all photos are or have to be meant to hang on a gallery wall. They can be snapshots of experiences, family, and friends. I think that will be the vast majority of photos taken with the Pentax 17.The Heaton pictures are weak. Not really the photographer’s fault, since there isn’t much to photograph in an empty landscape with nothing but a hideous SUV and a bunch of bros to interrupt infinity.
Then you need a Nikon.
You don't have to. The meter will not draw enough current to cause any problems throughout the day. However I suspect that if capping your lens at the end of a day causes you distress you will have not problem another camera that works more to your liking.

I know -- it's so much trouble and effort. I have cameras with ON/OFF switches for the meters, but they are a PITA too. But it's not a big deal for me, because when I'm not taking pictures I have the lens cap on to protect the lens.

... it struck me that if she had the money ...
Now you get it.
When I was that age and I decided I wanted an SRT-101 I somehow managed to come up with the money for a brand new one. But, maybe kids are different today.
Companies eventually solved it with the half press. It's the best way.

No I really don’t. None of us do. That was totally inappropriate (and irrelevant). You should have kept her personal situation private.If you must know …
I think every other person of similar age that I know carries round in their pocket a device costing 3-4x what the Pentax 17 costs.

that hand-held, battery operated, network connected, pocket super computer is infinitely more useful than this frivolous film camera.
