I wish to possess loamy loam, though I'd take loamish loam if that's in stock.

You want to both abolish the government AND overturn these rulings? Those two acts are mutually exclusive, or at the least meaningless in both instances of order of precedence; if you abolish the government these rulings no longer exist or have legal meaning, overturning them would require re-establishing a government which accepts all previous supreme court rulings. Which seems idiotic, since if the intent is to overturn these rulings why accept them in the first place?

Pedantic correction, but the F-35 was developed by Lockheed Martin; it was a direct competitor to Boeing's X-32.

Read my comment above which corrects @Candelestine's assertion that candle flame is a plasma.

Only very hot flames are a plasma and usually only within certain regions of the main body of the flame; most flames one encounters in their life will not be a plasma due to low or non-existent ionization. A candle flame is almost certainly not a plasma, rather it's a combusting (oxidizing) gas which appears as a flame due to the emission of photons in the visible range from regions where the fuel is reacting with air. Furthermore, fire does not require mechanical or kinetic force to combine a fuel and an oxidizer, there is no need to 'ram' these particles together. Simple contact between a fuel and an oxidizer in states which would allow redox will cause burning and possibly visible flame (not all redox produces visible flame).

The problem is that there's a very big difference between wanting a blanket ban on transition preparation and wanting the actual people involved (the trans kid, the parents, and the doctors) to do a better job of evaluating the situation and working out the best path for each case.

While your opinion may be more reasonable you should be careful to not assume they share your opinion. A lot of people don't realize that the common choice for "transition" treatments for teens does not transition them, but rather delays/suppresses puberty in such a way that they can choose which way to go at a later time. Banning this treatment forces a choice and disallows a trans person's ability to fully transition once of age.

I feel that the problem is that they're reviewed after an arrest is made. Why spend all the resources and waste time to then review it after?

Between those two options, use the preprocessor directives; otherwise go with @alejandro's sugestion. The latter solution incurs a constant cost at runtime and includes code in the executable that should never be run. Preprocessor directives would completely omit the respective feature's code preventing any possibility of access, without them the feature could actually be enabled via memory scanners (something I myself have abused).

I'm not an economist but that seems like a pro for Microsoft and a con for Citrix. Though, seemingly, Microsoft's approach, naturally, centers around their own devices and OS rather than Citrix's approach where just about every device/OS has an available application that can be used.

Though it's important to remember that the whole WMD thing came from British intelligence; Bush's fault was blindly trusting their intelligence or, perhaps more accurately, accepting our own intelligence's appraisal of "maybe" as enough confirmation.

What US MRE requires rehydration? Retort pouches are universally used to carry wet rations, I thought the only hydration needed was for drink mixes like instant coffee and drink mixes.
