In Karate Kid the mantra of the Cobra Kai Dojo is:




We do not teach anyone to be merciful here. Mercy is for the weak. An enemy faces you he deserves no mercy.




Within those 3 lines, it says we don't teach mercy, be merciful to the weak, and enemies get no mercy.



Did the bullies actually ignore the teacher invalidating what is said later about no bad student, only bad teacher?

You are misinterpreting the line.



What it means is only the weak give mercy.



Since it assumes that the Cobra kai students are the strong they don't (or shouldn't) offer mercy to the weak.



Nor do they.



They might balk at "sweeping the leg" but they do it....so they don't actually offer mercy at all.

For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

            Confectionery

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
