🐍🚀 Wow, hold the press! Python's `splitlines()` is the Swiss Army knife of line splitting! Who knew that it could slice and dice through characters like `x0b` and `x1e` that nobody uses or even remembers? 🔍🤓 Thanks to Seth Larson for this groundbreaking revelation—next up, rediscovering the wheel! 😅🔄

#Tariffs #Knives

Among other things, I collect knives & have owned a #SwissArmyKnife (SAK) almost all my life.

I currently own 5 of the same model -- the Explorer -- that I have stashed here & there to make sure one is always near when I need one.

Here's an interesting article about the dilemma faced by SAK under the boot of Trump's tariffs.

Pro-Trumpsters will say this is an example of his tariffs "working" but what they miss is that it will just raise the cost of production & goods that consumers will have to spend for the same products for much less without them.

The #Trumpsters get their way but at what cost to the American people ??? 🤔

@Gammitin Did you use that Swiss Army Knife 🇨🇭 to mount the board? 😊 If so, that’s next-level MacGyvering—I love it!

Thanks for sharing your build—it looks great! 💻✨

P.S. Adding an image description would make your post more accessible to folks using screen readers. Here’s a suggestion for alt text if you’d like to use it:
"The image shows a computer motherboard placed on a wooden surface. The motherboard is brown with various components, including a CPU fan labeled 'Cooler Master,' RAM slots, and expansion slots. Visible details include capacitors, resistors, and integrated circuits. To the left, there’s a red Swiss Army Knife and a plastic bag filled with screws and small parts. A printed instruction manual is partially visible in the background, indicating the assembly or maintenance process. The motherboard is mounted in a black metal frame, part of a computer case."
