@pragprog I use a date, followed by as much info as necessary. If that's eight lines, fine. I don't try to cram it all into one line.

@b0rk It's not confusing -- but adding hex makes it clearer that 65 -> 97 (A -> a, by adding 32) is just 0x41 -> 0x61 (by adding 0x20).

I thought that detail was cool -- but if you don't find it useful, that's fine. I love all of your pictures (bought the debugging book recently).

False. McCarthy decided to pull all of his appointees to the Jan. 6 committee, including three Pelosi accepted, after Pelosi rejected two others (including Jordan) and invited him to choose a different two. Even then, the Democrats appointed two Republicans, Cheney and Kinzinger.
