Had to look up the foundation. Why would you need to do a background check to donate? Seems counter productive.

In forward facing child seats there are the two latch buckles as well as a tether anchor that runs over the top of the seat.


SO... the only way someone can rent a "house" is to rent a room in one that is currently occupied? There would be not SFR rentals if you limit ownership to 1.


Forcing the mobile version when browsing on a cell phone. I may be in the minority here, but I prefer having the full site available. If I wanted the mobile version by default I would just use an app.


The story of three envelopes is a business classic for dysfunctional organizations. It starts with an incoming manager replacing a recently fired outgoing manager. On his way out, the outgoing manager hands the new manager three envelopes and remarks, "when things get tough, open these one at a time."

About three months goes by and things start to get rough. The manager opens his drawer where he keeps the three envelopes and opens #1. It reads: "Blame your predecessor." So he does and it works like a charm.

Another three months passes and things are growing difficult again so the manger figures to try #2. It reads, "reorganize." Again, his predecessor's advice works like magic.

Finally, about nine months into the new job, things are getting really sticky. The manager figures it worked before, why not try again. So he opens the envelope drawer one last time and opens #3. It reads..."prepare three envelopes."

Sounds like he knew the address he gave was going to be swatted and intentionally gave a valid address of someone else. A rational person would have just not answered the question.


That's not what he was charged with, AFAICT. That would be manslaughter or something along those lines, right? I think he's getting charged entirely for the cover-up.


> Crypto is by definition a negative sum game

Zero sum. Also, stocks have an underlying asset. There really is none with cryptos.


Negative sum means all players on average are worse off.

Think of it as a poker game where each player hands 10$ to the dealer to sit at the table. Now, if the players are exchanging chips individual players may end up ahead, but on average at the end of the night everyone is down 10$.

Transaction fees are very much playing a deal to sit at the table. Miners do spend money to get tokens, but nobody in the game receives that money it's just gone and miners need someone else's money to get paid.
