Here is a longer excerpt from the opinion by Holmes:1

It is true, as indicated in the last cited case, that every exaction of money for an act is a discouragement to the extent of the payment required, but that which in its immediacy is a discouragement may be part of an encouragement when seen in its organic connection with the whole. Taxes are what we pay for civilized society, including the chance to insure.

Clearly a rare sighting

Well, I just started considering multi-tools and attachment heads and all that :)

Good point, right!

Whoh thousands and not hundreds?

Very nice. The screenshots look promising!

MacDown is pretty solid, but I’ve been looking at alternatives. Unfortunately, while MarkText may be feature-rich, latency is untenable. I think that one’s an Electron app.

I always nodded and said yes.

inadvertently kickstarts Elizabeth Holmes promotion to CEO a job or two later :p j/k

Seen the third party message on the Wirecutter comments section?

“If you comment on these socks we’re recommending YOUR DATA WILL BE SOLD!!!”

Incredible and actually good guy vendor (Disqus) in a way for not hiding it unless it was their lawyers’ doing :)

I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

“Hi I wasn’t paid six dollars on Fiverr to post here” (does increase costs obviously but marginally for high-margin/volume products)

Awwwwwwwww!!!

Thank you. Been thinking about this.

Is there a [soap] product that you use or would use with a dishwasher, or at least a guideline or purchasing process you’d follow?

Healthiest way to do it

Also it’s a microcosm of a more serious thing! :D 59 seconds

“GCN” video from a couple months ago showing their bait bike being stolen^. They cut through a UL lock in 36 seconds but unfortunately didn’t test one of the few-hundred-dollar angle-grinder-resistant locks.

Ahahaha that’s great

LOL
