I also prefer the loop, I would negate the condition and use continue, but otherwise leave it unchanged. I don't have a problem with the functional version but it doesn't scan as well to me.

To me, the point is to make it completely yourself from only standard readily available parts, as a demonstration of how it works and what the components are. Less that anyone can replicate it with just a power drill and a hand file (becaus

google had plenty of incorrect information at the top of the page before then, just instead of AI it was some algorithm pulling sentence fragments out of a page where the context was often the opposite of what you're asking

you end up searching for a pub called graphite and get 10000 results about graphite bars because it's a more common term and bar = pub, right? contrived example but that seems to happen to me every other month at least

I've also pretty much entirely stopped buying from amazon, save for maybe 1 - 2 orders a year. Although my biggest problem is that because any number of sellers can offer products on the same listing, you often just flat out do not get

if they know better and have the foresight, they do. But stuff like this might not occur to people who've never been bitten by it. Every step of the way you just make things a little bit messier than before.
