Interestingly, it's actually being done properly:

* The US constitution has an executive branch consisting of a single person, the President. (The other two branches are judicial and legislative)

* That person is given broad authority that includes the treasury, commanding the military, pardoning power, appointing a cabinet, etc.

* Delegating this is well within the power of the executive

That said we're allowed to complain about these things and a big enough protest could have the desired effect. I love pennies myself, but I'm not interested enough to leave my Go compiler long enough to do so.

that looks awesome. thanks for the link

    It is interesting how receiving the greatest benefit for the lowest cost is considered pathological, yet also the entire basis for our economic system.

What I read from GP's comment was not that this was the tradeoff, it was that people who pay less than market value tend to be the most troublesome customers. I can tell you that holds true in any market I've ever consulted for or have used myself. B2B transactions tend to be much smoother than a visit to Popeye's on the average.

Analysis: true, based on 20+ years of owning successful online businesses and another 15 in the software business before that. I always gave my tech support teams full authority to fire customers like that.

The part that fascinated me most was that just reminding them they had that option seemed to make them much more tolerant than I expected, and out of say 2 million customers I'd guess fewer than a dozen were ejected. I guess it was a mental pressure valve.

Damn son, thanks

Obviously I didn't have to click

Union Hill representing. I’m a bit envious! We hear but seldom see ours.

A bunch of them live on my property. They have a roll call at night and it’s an eerie screamhowl I’m still not used to after 5 years. We don’t usually see them in daytime.

There is a place in So Cal now called The Aspens South Coast we lived in 30 years ago. It has (had?) an incredibly dense concentration of trees, something I’ve not seen since in that region, which is of course desert.

This time of year when you opened the gate that separated the treed interior from the parking lot you felt like the air conditioning had been turned on. We have very fond memories of the place. Its only disadvantage for me was that spring caused my allergies to go crazy.

Totally worth it.

Is this the comment you are referring to? I can’t find any such implications. Maybe it was edited?

    I can buy rice at Costco in the US for $25 for 50lbs, which is equivalent to 854 yen for 5KG. A bit less than 1/4 the cost of Japanese grown rice.

Old guy here. My precious side projects are out the window. My sole "project" is getting my blood sugar down and losing weight. Have no energy for anything else except practicing musical instruments.

My credit rating has literally plummeted 200 points for reasons I don't even have the energy to investigate (I have a pretty good retirement fund, no debts/mortgage/care payments). Just no energy to do anything except hang around trying not to eat.

Can someone tell me why a statement of fact is being downvoted? I am genuinely puzzled.

I will get downvoted for this, but note that many of these locations are... a bit rugged. Probably best to avoid this tour at night unless you have a large party and to be careful using your phones.

I wasn't afraid of spiders until this week https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/yyk8cb/known_as_the_w...

I’m hoping to get that changed to “Lord Sandwich Arena”

Chickens are hilarious and surprisingly adorable. All plans of eating ours went right out the window when I brought home the first wave of day-old chicks.

They can be very mean to each other. “Pecking order” is literally true and the results can be heartbreaking. Ours have never pecked each other’s eyes, thank heaven, but I’m guessing most of that is from the roosters, not the hens. Roosters can get disgustingly rapey and have to be separated from the hens, who can get seriously injured during the mating process.

Thank you for your service

Ah what is the industry? Big Pub?

Now they know

It's a blessing that you were able to find help so easily.

I maybe wouldn’t put this on my LinkedIn

Transplant a few heads and suddenly you never get invited to another Christmas party

Incorrect. I go “ooh, the appropriately named Mr. Godbolt is a fucking beast!”

Can you explain to me about the near outlaw of EVs?

Where did they say they’re mad?

Thanks for sharing, and I’m very glad you are here to discuss it.

I have to admit I never had to consider falling boulders in my brief bout with homelessness

Thanks so much for the thoughtful and encouraging response. Unfortunately proper logging would do nothing for my sleep, which has been abominable for 60 years.
