You can only be elected as president twice. You can probably hack the system by getting multiple other presidents to select you as vice president, then resign. If you serve more than 2 years of the term they were elected to, that reduces the number of times you can be elected as president to one.

The 22nd amendment doesn't say that someone that serves 3.99 years of another president's term multiple times can't still be elected, and it doesn't say that someone not qualified to be elected as president can't be elected as vice president, but the 12th amendment might. Either of those could be an interesting legal fight.

They just had sex, too.

The churning process isn't 100% effective at removing water, proteins, etc, so people that are allergic to milk can also react to butter. The milk isn't "milk" anymore, but it would be more confusing to say "contains milk fats, proteins, sugars, enzymes, hormones, antibodies, mucins and minerals", IMO.

Guys (et al), please don't make fun of the dim fool's name. It's rude and frankly immature.

Edited: spelling

The belt and belt loops go all along the top row. If there's only one row, the matrix can only wear a short-shorts version. There's a crotch in each space between columns, and a leg on every column of length greater than 1.

Sparse matrices have their own special pants that are more efficient, of course.

George HW Bush was the last one to leave office while the economy was doing well. It was going fine at the end of George W Bush's first term, then the 2007 housing crash brought it down. Trump's first term ended with the covid lockdowns severely harming the state of things. So... 3 Republican presidencies ago, but that's a lot of years.

Trump was pretty ineffective in his first term, largely because he did a terrible job of supporting people who really agreed with his agenda, and an even worse job of removing people from influential positions who didn't.

He said during his campaign that he knew much better who to trust, but now he's got Elon Musk and RFK Jr. prominently featured. I don't think he has learned anything, and I think he will be just as ineffective this time.

It's possible that some of the Republicans in Congress will support more of his agenda, but even there if they have to overcome the filibuster, I don't think mass deportation, a federal abortion ban, or most of the rest of the potential worst of it is in the cards.

With 17, I understand that you're referring to how 299,999 is also divisible by 17. What is the 51 reference, though? I know there's 3,999,999,999,999 but that starts with a 3. Not the same at all.

You can just bitwise AND those with ...000000001 (for however many bits are in your number). If the result is 0, then the number is even, and if it's 1, then the number is odd. This works for negative numbers because it discards the negative signing bit.

Then you should return false, unless the remainder is also greater than or equal to the twenty second root of 4194304. Note, that I've only checked up to 4194304 to make sure this works, so if you need bigger numbers, you'll have to validate on your own.
