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

um, hydrogen ions? Doesn't sound that impressive...

It may look absurd at first blush, but mental illness is actually not funny.

Sigh. Linux is for everyone. NSA. Criminals. Average Joes. Why focus on a small group of users?

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!
