Unlike typical browser "favorites"/"bookmarks", most of these links are _infrequently_ visited (low-traffic). These are here because they're **too valuable to be forgotten**. A minority of links are simply underrated.



To reduce redundancy, if any of these URLs is included anywhere in my GH-Pages domain or my GH Profile-`README`, they'll be removed from this page.

- My fav argument against [Py's colons](https://docs.python.org/3/faq/design.html#why-are-colons-required-for-the-if-while-def-class-statements) is:

	- > > _The colons are an extra visual clue to scanning the blocks. As such, they improve readability, one of Python's main strengths._

		>
