Good point and I missed that in the original post.

It does appear to be a similar situation with the UK though, only with pensions and other funds.

It’s important to note that most of the money borrowed by the US govt is in the form of bonds to its own citizens, and the interest paid is to those citizens.

Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

While trading in general is zero sum, if you believe the product you’re trading has intrinsic value, then no one needs to be holding a bag.

If I sell you a car and you get to use the car, you wouldn’t be holding the bag, because you wanted the car. This applies to stocks, and stock derivatives, as well as commodities.

The problem arises when there isn’t an intrinsic value (or the intrinsic value is very small), such as with NFTs or many cryptos in general.

There are cryptos that have some intrinsic value like monero, since they have fungibility and a use case, but most do not.

The steam deck didn’t exist when the switch came out, it innovated and filled a niche that turned out to be a severely underserved segment of the gaming market.

Nintendo struck gold with the switch, and a ‘switch 2’ likely isn’t going to cut it.

It’s not like Nintendo is infallible, remember the console before the switch was the Wii u.

My thermostat increments by 0.5c

It’s about crossing into triple digits, a new order of magnitude, it feels heavy.

I don’t understand why you think I, someone advocating against pet ownership, would be for dog food?

Why do you keep animals shackled in your home, perform surgeries on them, remove their agency.

Having a pet at all is antithetical to vegan ideology, and making a decision about their diet (without their consent, because animals can’t consent) is exactly what you are attacking others for.

Don’t want to feed a cat meat? Easy solution, don’t have it as a pet, it’s not your choice to make in the first place.

It’s fairing a lot better than Michigan.

You need to tell it to run the script

Esdf requires more dexterity and is generally less accessible.

I’m an idiot and misunderstood which key bind was being talked about

Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

So if we can’t properly encapsulate, we don’t want inheritance or polymorphism, we don’t want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?

It wouldn’t really help I think, I think what needs to be done is a change in the verbage and communication, nov 5th should be communicated as the deadline, and early voting should be renamed to just be the voting period.

In my state early voting starts on Oct 17th, meaning you have more than two week for in person voting.

Absentee ballots (mail in) can be cast as soon as you get it, which is typically almost 2 months in advance.

Besides, the people who would get ‘national vote day’ off as a holiday are the people who probably already have the means to get to a ballot box.

For what it’s worth, you can form a partnership with someone and not be married, there are a lot of ways to do it, including incorporating if you want to go that route or just performing a partnership agreement, which allows for things like shared ownership, there are a lot of other rights, but business are making it their goal to get those right for things like partnerships too.

Weirdly enough, messages seem to be the only thing I see the general public being ok with diversifying.

Everyone I know uses different messaging apps, I have active conversations in signal, telegram, Whatsapp, messages(SMS), messages(RCS), discord, and matrix.

Maybe they try are trying to avoid some additional scrutiny by letting the union exist?

Try going to a casino where you put a $5 in a slot machine and get 12,350 credits.

Factorio also interestingly, never goes on sale, Wube said that the value of the game is what it is and that’s that.

Thanks for the breakdown! This is probably the most helpful breakdown I’ve seen of a build like this.
