Does lying about demolishing the entire East Wing of the White House with zero consultation with Congress, the National Park Service or anyone else something that will reach the low info voter who doesn’t watch the news? Will anything reach them?

Friday and into the weekend, 2 areas of heavy rain are likely to create at least isolated flash flooding issues. At atmospheric river will bring heavy rain and mountain snow to the Pacific NW, while a developing storm system brings a surge of moisture from the Gulf Coast to the Southern Plains.

Yes the code will be faster but that isn't usually the bottleneck in data retrieval.

I thought about something similar running on a small Raspberry Pi cluster. Not in C# but basically the same idea.

I cut my teeth on FORTAN and C. I have seen a lot of languages come and go over the years. I liked programming in C#. I liked programming in Java too! Carry on the journey!
