  2. Witness: At the time of manufacture we tested it. It contained absolutely zero percent lead.

    Attorney: So how do you account for the fact that when tested at the supermarket it had a detectable lead content?

    Witness: It must have formed from the Polonium.

    Judge: Case dismissed!

    all the other MBA run manufacturers will follow suite.

    Unfortunately we don't buy users yet. But give the Trumperor a second term and who knows, maybe we'll get rid of that pesky 13th amendment.

    I've worked in user support and I'd say no. Most of them have defective firmware that prevents any form of updating, even with a very large stick. Better to chuck them away and get new ones.

    Do all residents of a state vote for the same candidate?

    If the densely populated areas have more people then it stands to reason they'll have more votes. I assume you don't have a problem with the idea of "one person, one vote"?

    The electoral college system is "one person, one-and-a-bit" votes, where the smaller the state's population the bigger the bit.

    Intelligent devs use IDEs that handle all this formatting nonsense for them

    That's fine if you can infer the nesting level from if and fi or { and }, but what when it works the other way round like Python?
