   Fair enough. Thank you. I was mostly addressing the regulatory environment. I do not believe (unless I am very mis-informed) that employee paid wages are at the back-of-the-line in a liquidation procedure.

   I grew up in WY, on a sheep and cattle ranch (where we were poor, but had all the animal flesh to eat that we might desire), and the invading upstream O&G folks and the coal-miners at Thunder Basin mines and living in Campbell county

   It does? When I had to wind down a company in Austin, Texas, pretty much everyone in arbitration and court on all sides of the table recognized that workers got paid first. I wonder if that is local? I seem to remember that just about every

   Thanks. I guess also embedded in my comment was a question: what is an escape room business? It appears to be a game? How long does it take? How much does it cost per encounter? Can one do it with friends (like lazer-tag) or is it a single-

   I don't have a dog in this hunt, but perhaps one problem is assuming that people know what an escape room is? I certainly don't, and if that's all it said on the door as I was walking to a restaurant, I certainly would not st

    It is! I've been trying to think of a more compact/dense incorrect sentence for a bit now, and I can't really think of an alternative. (Although some of the political screeds from the election of 1800 might have been close, a

    This is interesting. Growing up, we had chickens, sheep, goats, cows, horses, dogs, cats and rabbits. And an unfortunate sampling of salamanders, frogs, horny toads, chipmunks, gophers, wild-rabbits, foxes, coyotes, hawks (various types), e

    We don't and can't. Because we can't even come up with a universally accepted definition, there can be no bright-line test. Coupled with our innate arrogance, where we allow ourselves to "just know that we are", jus

    Oh. That's unfortunate. I am culturally inept. I was intending to be mildly jocular (in a dry way) and got swooshed. Welcome to Friday, I guess. (There was no onion-on-the-belt reference, so at that point - I was lost!)

    I think I am sympathetic to your point-of-view, but I'm not sure, because it seems (to me) that you are maybe conflating a couple of different costs. Let's start at the numerator - you appear to be calculating life "happiness

    I know you are being a little tongue-in-cheek here, but I remember there was an Alvy-Ray Smith paper submitted about sampling scenes in time-and-space (and then filtering semi-super-sampled inputs), and it wasn't just the top comment.

    I understand your claim. But I've gotta say this claim is maybe a little too aggressive. I know for a fact that on a Sun-3 (68020 SunOS Desktop Pizza Box) using either gcc or the bundled cc, all of them would have been the same answer,
