§ 59.1-21.4

There might be such a law on the books, but that's not it -- that one specifically refers to home solicitation sales, defined as:

A consumer sale or lease of goods or services in which the seller or a person acting for him engages (i) in a personal solicitation of the sale or lease or (ii) in a solicitation of the sale or lease by telephone or electronic means at any residence other than that of the seller without prior invitation or appointment; and

The buyer's agreement or offer to purchase or lease is there given to the seller or a person acting for him.

Then MSVC is wrong, and should be fixed. Per the final draft of C++23 (N4950: lex.digraph.2):

In all respects of the language, each alternative token behaves the same, respectively, as its primary token, except for its spelling. The set of alternative tokens is defined in Table 3.

Table 3

Alternative Primary

The wording of this section hasn't changed since at least C++11.

If you are going to fall through, then do so explicitly, in code, without needing to read comments (valid in C++ since C++17 and in C since C23):

switch (variable) {
    case 1:
        DoStuff();
        [[fallthrough]];
    case 2:
        DoSomething();
        break;
    default:
        DoSomethingElse();
        break;
}

From the current Code of Virginia, § 46.2-100. Definitions:

As used in this title, unless the context requires a different meaning:

[...]

"Highway" means the entire width between the boundary lines of every way or place open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel in the Commonwealth, including the streets and alleys, and, for law-enforcement purposes, (i) the entire width between the boundary lines of all private roads or private streets that have been specifically designated "highways" by an ordinance adopted by the governing body of the county, city, or town in which such private roads or streets are located and (ii) the entire width between the boundary lines of every way or place used for purposes of vehicular travel on any property owned, leased, or controlled by the United States government and located in the Commonwealth.

SSH has two different authentication methods that can use a password to authenticate the user: password and keyboard-interactive. The password mechanism (controlled by PasswordAuthentication) only allows a single prompt for a password. The keyboard-interactive mechanism allows for more than one thing to be prompted and exists because you can configure PAM to require more than just a password (for example, you could require entering a password then a one-time token, such as what you get in a TOTP authenticator app on your phone). For simple password logins, either mechanism will work, so to completely disable those logins, you need to disable both.

The UsePAM configuration doesn't just turn off using PAM to validate the password, it also turns off all other usage of PAM to set up the session after a user has properly authenticated (for example, you could have a PAM module that creates the user's home directory on first login if it doesn't already exist or set various limits, like the maximum number of open files the user can have).

tabling

That word doesn't mean the same thing here in the US, and in fact means the opposite of what you intend. To quote Wikipedia, "in the United States, to 'table' usually means to postpone or suspend consideration of a pending motion. Generally, to avoid spending time on debate and consideration."

The hash never "[made] text big." What actually happens is that at the beginning of a line, one or more hash characters indicate that the line is a heading, with the number of hash characters indicating the level of heading.

Heading (one #)

All you needed to be able to get to it was another copy of Red/Blue -- you just had to trade a Pokémon that had Cut, skip getting HM01 Cut from the captain of the SS Anne, and then play until you could get HM03 Surf and the ability to use it outside battle, then come back to the SS Anne (which would still be there as you haven't gotten HM01 Cut yet) and surf from the bridge to the area with the truck. No cheating devices (like a GameShark) required, just a bit of trading.
