Don't forget, you can go visit the graves of hundreds of thousands of children who starved to death.

Hello. I live in St. Paul, Minnesota. In January of this year my city was under hostile armed occupation. I volunteered for weeks packing boxes of food for people who were afraid to leave their houses because the masked secret police were ripping people off the streets with little regard for legality. Two of my neighbors were murdered by the secret police; a hundred of us sang hymns outside the local elementary school in 20 below weather. One of those murdered was my friend's coworker. The secret police agency has so far successfully opposed any attempt to bring the murderers to justice, and indeed was trying to bring legal charges against the families of the murder victims.

Which 'F' word do you think is appropriate to describe all this? Or has meaning already been lost?

I am a resident of the Twin Cities and I agree wholeheartedly with this perspective. I found reading the book Waging A Good War very educational about the deliberate, strategic use of nonviolence by the American Civil Rights Movement and its ultimate triumph as a means to win support and achieve social change. It was a clear and inspiring parallel for me during the worst times of this year so far.

Are there any structural or systematic changes that should be made to how the site works right now, so that remedies such as this do not need to be hand performed one-offs?

Kotlin has a syntactic opt-in for tail call elimination (the "tailrec" modifier).

FYI a tungsten carbide ring, although it cannot realistically be cut off your finger, is brittle, and can easily and safely be snapped with a pair of locking pliers (locking to avoid clamping down on your finger). You may be thinking of titanium rings which are not removable in this fashion and thus are less safe.

In my day (ca. 2000) there was no "forced to give an F" and in fact it was very common for exam-takers to draw a line, write "everything below this line I did after the time limit", and get partial credit for it.
