Yeah, these seem to get less filthy than Yeti tumblers. For those who tend to take small sips at regular intervals, insulated is the way to go.

Looks like they're using Keras to generate random phrases, then winnowing them down to the best few, which they extrapolate into a functional sport rulebook with their human brains. Could have probably done this with a Markov chain as

I'm of the opinion that a POTUS that carries a unsecured iPhone against the recommendations of his staff (and overrules their security clearance decisions for his son-in-law) isn't going to fire anyone due to quibbles over OPSEC.

They may be referring to the Republicans' decades-long campaign to suffocate the IRS, which has resulted in more audits for the poor and fewer for the rich, more easily allowing wealthy taxpayers to drag them on past the 10-year statue
