Walter Chiles
Lieutenant Colonel Walter Chiles (died 1653) was a Virginia politician and merchant.[1] He moved to Virginia around 1638, and served as a burgess off and on from 1642 to 1653, representing Charles City County and later James City County. He also served on the Governor's council in 1651, but was removed the following year because of his involvement in illegal trading with the Netherlands. He was elected Speaker of the Virginia House of Burgesses at the July 1653 session, but the governor forced his resignation the following day.[2]

gollark: Because YAML tries to look "simple", it's actually wildly complex, problem-prone, and has weird quirks. Like Go, sort of.
gollark: TOML is, in my opinion, nicer for configs. It's basically standardized INI.
gollark: Also, possibly partly due to point 3, many (dynamic) languages actually implement YAML parsing in a way which allows arbitrary code execution by default. I think Python's yaml library does it unsafely by default (EDIT: see here: https://www.arp242.net/yaml-config.html though PyYaml at least appears to be changing this now).
gollark: It's not simple. The standard is extremely complex and there are something like nine ways to do multiline strings.
gollark: You might need to enable WAL mode.
