This is the internet; we don’t do “reasonable” here, apparently :p

I’ve toured the Lucid Motors factory a few times, and man, it’s incredible. Sometimes we forget that the things we use every single day take massive amounts of space, people, and technology to build.

We software people are spoiled with our keyboards and Red Bull :p

I think the parent comment’s point was that unless it is made illegal, as in, a law is passed to make it so, it will come up again, and the “fight” has a shorter lifespan than the government.

We have seen the same, or substantially similar, bills come up over and over. Most of the time, they are shot down, in the same manner you describe.

But sometimes, there is a 9/11 and the Patriot act gets passed.

I almost feel bad for noticing this, but:

> San Hamel was a partner in a business called AllYouCanDrink.com at the time.

…

> Cann, an experienced cyclist who once biked from New Hampshire to Chicago, was heading home from his job at Groupon the night he was killed.

It looks like allyoucandrink.com now redirects to Groupon, in a decent bit of irony.

Thank you for posting this, I've been increasingly frustrated with ice recently and have been considering paying for bartender, now i won't.

This is a really common way to structure exclusivity; we did the same thing whenever customers requested it (and we couldn’t get rid of it entirely). Charge for the exclusivity explicitly.

If they wanted named exclusivity rather than general exclusivity, we would charge a somewhat smaller amount for each competitor they wanted exclusivity from. They could give up exclusivity at any time.

That was precisely how we structured our deal with Azure, back in 2014-2016 or so.

Wait, I literally still hit Ctrl-S constantly, usually a few times in a row.

Have people outgrown this unnecessary habit? Haha

Spray yourself with cold water first and minimize exposed skin. That’s literally what TFA says.

Habituation. You’re effectively trained.

You can find your own problems on an abandoned farm too. A kid can always choose to get into trouble, but that’s not what we’re talking about here.

The type of trouble is different. Your not going to get robbed trying to buy drugs on a farm.

I grew up in a neighborhood that had a drug den next to the 7-11 that all the kids went to buy slurpees at.

The dealers didn't bother the kids, and the kids knew not to go into that yard.

There were plenty of street walkers on a particular stretch of streets. They weren't talking to anyone who wasn't looking to buy.

Of course I had the advantage of being a broke kid at the time, so I wasn't a mark for crime. I was just another neighborhood kid who was walking through. It was a working class neighborhood with a few sketchy parts. There was the occasional shooting or drive by, and property theft was common (every bike I had as a kid was stolen from me at some point), but it wasn't unsafe in regards to violence.

I almost impaled myself on a rebar pole while jumping my bike over hills at an abandoned construction site. That was the most dangerous thing that ever happened to me growing up there. (well aside from the time I almost died falling into a sink hole and managed to grab onto a nearby tree root and pull myself up in time, but that was in the middle of nearby woods, so not gonna blame that on societal problems!)

Humboldt County would like a word.
