   Works for all those conservative states! My wife's from Louisiana and she can count on one hand the number of female schoolmates who made it out of high school, let alone to 21, without a child.

   I find it interesting this was not responded to as it is a great and easily understood description of how one could see Brave as a scam.

   At least you admit you're advocating for the Devil! We could hope a cell phone company would be so honest as to make sure their signal indicators show possibly lower values.

    To clarify - I imagine it's more subtle than a constant slope. I imagine the value per user stays steady for a while then the starts dropping quickly.

    This sounds like "parallel construction": "cops devise a second, more conventional way to obtain the information, and put that reverse-engineered method down on paper. The result is that law enforcement lies about the origins

    Gold has a very long history, useful applications in industry, jewelry etc and is a defacto currency the world-wide. Crypto is... None of these. Whatever crypto is or will become, gold it, currently, is not.

    It's very hard to unionize. I ran a pizzaria for about 10 years and was the owner operator it for another 5. The employment length of tipped employees typically is around 6 months. With people coming and going so quickly, it's har

    Oh you can, even in America. The best service I ever encountered was at Jean George's in NYC. It WAS a Michelan-Starred restaurant and our two-person bill was $800 with a $200 tip!

    I recall a horrifying story Niven wrote about a man running from the police to escape his death sentance. At the end of the story, he is caught and brought to justice for running a red light.
