This is a good point. I think canned vegetables, in particular, are processed in just a few factories and just have different labeling.

>Yes, that much is likely true. Yet, I maintain that the market dynamics we saw in lumber very likely played out in other sectors. I agree. The exogenous shocks from Covid (and the shutdowns/working from home) and the money that the

Now you are getting it! Pricing is hard. You work in an industry where it isn't a problem, but it is if you sell potato chips. The point being that nearly nothing in a normal person's life is priced and sold the way you do it, so

> I work in the lumber business. We always, every day, at all times, sell our lumber to the highest bidder. This is auction-style pricing. Good for lumber and some other commodities, but not great if you want to buy eggs, bread, medicine

This is literally the opposite of how banks work. If they keep everyone's money they would never be able to make loans, let alone fractional reserve leveraged loans. They need you to keep your money in an account and not need to access

When modern warfare is missiles and drones you don't need conventional forces, you just need the base ... right? Also, I don't have a dog in this fight, I just find it interesting that every subject on Earth seems to have two side

I'm going to take your argument as a sincere argument and not an ad hominem attack that is sounds like. I can tell from your comment that you have a specific perspective on this. I can assure you that I do not. But, if you asked someon

No, but what if China started setting up military installations in Canada on the US border with Canada's blessing, or even insinuated that it would? How do you think that would go? Not simping for Russia here, but this is not a simple

I agree with everything you say, but at a high level they "owe" you the money that you deposited. Which is a liability. They (generally) are not allowed to just go spend your money on anything they like (in the same way you could

Very well put! Selective enforcement is the key here. When everyone doesn't get to play by the same rule or even know the rules in some cases, how do you have a functioning society?

Ok, I see. No I would not cancel or end the careers of those people that did that. My true hope is that people can come to the understanding that ignoring people that try to do that is the proper approach. Just like I don't want to hur

I don't understand what you mean by that. How do you infringe on free speech with free speech?

Interesting that you seem to imply that you would be just fine with canceling people or with the chilling effects of speaking if the "kind of speech" fit some criteria that you personally have.

The cost of daycare, in particular, is outrageous! And it has been that way for a while! I remember my ex wanted to get a job after our first child. We did the math and I would have had to pay and extra $200 a month for her to get a job!

Sceptre certainly keeps that hidden! They need better marketers! For that price point and non-smart, I would have absolutely bought recently. But I have never heard of this brand until today.

Ha! I agree! That usage seems to presume YOU are "serverless" not the application or the system running.
