You can't go a single week without squeezing a thread in about Pence or Trump, implicitly or explicitly. They live rent free in your brain. Sad, really.

Really - not. Perhaps it makes you happy and will give you another opportunity to say "if you did it . . . " consequences.
Or, you can actually, for a change, look at it for what it says and no more. There's a lot of people potentially involved. I deliberately didn't describe what bothered me in the original post in order to see what others see. In other words, and I realize this may be an alien concept to you, I wanted to get other peoples opinions.
Other political leaders will be putting on a show - and you may have noticed that I specifically said that even if I saw a real stick it may just be saline. In other words - pay close attention - I didn't let anyone off the hook that makes a PR stunt out of getting a vaccination.

As someone who is petrified of needles, I'm not going to click on that despicable link!  It's also quite traumatising that the news is constantly, (without warning), flashing up injections on screen. We need to have warnings - e.g.: "The following footage contains needles/injections".

I'm certainly not going to click the link.
But, yes, I never simply accept that what they say is true.
Yet there's no reason to "fake" an injection, just inject something else -- the viewer has no idea what was actually injected.

He's got his "short sleeved shirt"; so he was thinking beforehand. Today's needles are "smaller"? No wincing, but he couldn't watch (like most). The staff looked like real medical technicians; too risky to fake.
It was only in wine that he laid down no limit for himself, but he did not allow himself to be confused by it.

That's a much better version. Everything is better with cats!

I rewrote my JSON reader because the code was filthy on account of being a port from C#, and not being fully designed for what it ended up doing.
I also wanted to make sure it compiled and ran on the ATmega2560, my test 8-bit processor with 8kB of SRAM (since i tightly control allocations I can put a ceiling on the RAM use wherever i want - so if i want to test it limiting it to 2kB I can)
It screams on a 64-bit, and crawls on 8-bit but it runs.
It's kind of clever how I did it. You create extractors to pull data from your JSON dataset, and it directs the pull parser along the proper path, retrieving all the values for you super efficiently.
anyway, I'm patting myself on the back because this is pretty cool.
Although I'm running down a bug right now, and because everything is streaming it's really difficult to debug sometimes. For example, I can never see the entire field name I'm comparing against when I'm looking for a field because I do all comparisons inline to avoid loading the entire string into RAM.
This is fun to code, and I really think I did invent a better mousetrap.
I'm a long way from my next article but I'm pretty happy with this so far.
