Oh man it was super-disappointing and the end of my willingness to buy WoTC 5E. You'd be better off with the originals from DriveThru.

I suspect that is by-in-large the point of the US de-regulatory project. If one deconstructs the state to the point of ineffectiveness then its existence is largely pointless and reasonably easy to discard for a newer state. Of course this

Does anyone else find it a little weird that the Great Salt Lake is shown on the map but Lake Champlain and Lake of the Woods are not?

I would give up my second car for a robot that could reliable transit a 120 year old house to do dishes and wash and fold laundry.

If you're interested in this kind of general book in this this genre; I'd also recommend The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester. It's flawed in the back third but the balance of the book is an entertaining read. https:/

This is a very high quality comment and I suspect will capture many parents’ feelings. Something that shocks me, even as an experienced parent, in caring for two small children is how physically and mentally tired I am at the end of the day

Assuming the density of superchargers and other comparable infrastructure can/does increase this feels basically fair. I assume this is a nose under the door for all other forms of junk fees and in and of itself will be abused long-ter

Makes sense that Hyundai is willing to do this. Their dealer network is not particularly strong and the experience on the ground is not great. That said I (know I’m a minority) will miss the haggling opportunity if car e-commerce takes off.

As I noted above the why is cost and reducing the number of weapons systems (absent cost benefit, still a net positive). Shell game for the US deterrent has been considered for some time.

I do think the land-based deterrent could be regenerated as a mobile shell-game style force. The Chinese are clearly adopting this strategy and it would reduce the overall material and munitions costs/requirements while still requiring

It wouldn’t be. Using a tool as a collusive mechanism to set prices jointly or create a price floor would be though.

IANAL, and perhaps you are but I don’t believe it is 100% legal. Seems like a matter of degree. What the parent is describing could reasonably be construed as illegal signaling and/or pricing collusion if the market is itself the mecha

Resembles a modern form of a 1994 case in which the Justice Department successfully went after airlines for using a marketplace to collude. I’d actually argue some of RealPage’s requirements and design choices may have been created to help

by sklargh 3y ago
This reminds me a lot of the Airline Tariff Publishing Company case in the 90s. Airlines used an industry marketplace to price fix and were successfully enjoined from doing so. I would not be surprised if in many industries similar behavior

Always struck by contrast - aviation regulators who’ve embraced and benefited immensely from no-fault safety reporting can’t seem to rationalize that the entire medical qualification system for pilots is killing people (literally in the cas
