Don't all these foodstuffs end up getting converted to carbon dioxide eventually anyway? Whether people eat them or microbes rot them they are in a carbon cycle.

I think having people eat is good, but this seems misleading.

Second line picks up the guns dropped by the first line. Makes sense, in a Russian kind of way.

I think you meant "propagated".

How do you monitor your email functionality? How long would it be before you noticed it was offline? What about paying for and configuring the new email server?

Sure it is, if you don't understand economics, which few Merkins do. The evidence is right in front of us.

Agree. For clarity, the circuits that show the low-voltage status are much less hungry for current than the circuits that measure weight. So no, having enough battery to report low voltage does not imply that there is enough to make an accurate weight measurement.

Clear and Clear Entry.

The better option is to use an RPN calculator as Hewlett-Packard used to make. Then the back arrow button just eliminates one digit at a time.

Evidence? You don't believe that Joe's friend's cousin saw someone dumping ballots into a Yugo? /s

Republicans don't mind a troubled economy because they believe they are avoiding worse pain. Democrats are more willing to increase the cash flow at all levels of the economy. There really isn't much to be surprised at here.

Of course, they often don't present their positions that way, but lying is like breathing to all politicians. Trump kind of abandons any pretense otherwise.

Read other people's code... particularly code by experienced developers. One good way to do that is to single-step debugging through the test code in a well-known package, stepping into the code being tested.

I suppose if you don't know how test frameworks like pytest work, tackling how they work and how to do single-stepping with some toy example code will be a prerequisite for the above, as will spending some time studying how packages are made. (The latter may seem unattractively tedious, but the knowledge will pay off even if you never become an expert at making your own packages.)

These exercises are very likely to expose weaknesses in your understanding of all sorts of things. Be patient and keep studying!
