The original Microsoft BASICS as used on early PC's had a number of interesting aspects, that would shock a lot of todays programmers :-) (not that I want to go full four Yorkshire men )

Having to manually set the exit condition of a loop to avoid memory leaks

Yes the fact that I can check my phone in the morning for my commute and get an accurate (ish) bus time including delays is great, I can avoid a long wait for a bus at and have another cup of coffee.

Though as I live next door to a pub in my village it used to keep checking me in - google probably thinks I have a drinking problem :-)

From experience with a major brands shopify sites

Might be better to work as a consultant on speeding up sites and implementing structured data properly - the day rate will be better.

A lot of shopify themes have terrible speed issues and some of the older ones just don't implement structured data properly.

Another area is Integration with Google analytics.

Il just leave this from Kipling

"A scrimmage in a Border Station- A canter down some dark defile Two thousand pounds of education Drops to a ten-rupee jezail. The Crammer's boast, the Squadron's pride, Shot like a rabbit in a ride! "

You'd just change "ten-rupee jezail" to a second hand AK

And plenty of "third" world civilians have guns

Lob a molatoff cocktail from above and hit the engine intakes and you can get a Mobility kill.

Armour in built up areas is very risky with out infantry support and the APC's would not be just driving around with out having dismounts supporting them.

There's more than one type of "Viking" warrior the Elite Huscarls where effectively professionals and are considered one of the best heavy shock infantry period - this is what they are referring to as Vikings.

Though this is prior to the switch to mounted knights

Reading the words of the motion "Should the City of Chicago act to ensure that all the City's community areas have access to broadband Internet?" Says nothing about the local government running the service

"community areas" so that means just libraries council buildings or does it mean FTC or FTP for all homes?

You right that allowing the executive to cherry pick motions is not democratic.

The one "in creating its City-wide plan for continued growth and sustainability, should the City of Chicago place equal focus on the goals of resiliency, equity, and diversity?" is arguably pious and also does not propose any action.

A slightly Bigger case (the Pi 800) could take some of those internally if you are going to add jacks please make it separate ones) or have space for a proper audio hat

Yes very interesting back in the mid 70's we had access to a PDP at my comprehensive School in Bedfordshire.

Though we didn't have the luxury of a terminal in the school - we sent our work of on coding sheets and got the results back for the next lesson.

We used CECIL (an assembly language designed for education) and in the second year BASIC.

This was the CSE stream BTW aka the stream for those expected to leave school at 16
