    @doctor-phibes said in Resume' review: When the apocalypse occurs, Gummy Bears will be worth more than Bitcoin. We should be OK for a little while... [image: 20210310-111831.jpg] The Prusa 3D printers and kits come with a pocket size bag. Several experienced builders had told us that that little bag just wasn't enough to get through the build, especially when two people are going to participate in the build. So I ordered a few more bags. lol

    @george-k said in Let it rest: Anyone who’s seared a beautiful rib-eye steak or removed a crispy-skinned roast chicken from the oven knows the excruciating anticipation that accompanies the resting period. You got a problem with delayed gratification? What are you, some kinda savage who needs to rip into hot meat like a monkey on a cupcake? Anticipation, baby!

Government is the new religion and family. We can just look at every other country to see how that worked out. (Excluding micro countries with Pop of less than NYC SMSA.) You could also look at countries where religion is really, really important and note what a disaster they tend to be. lhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Importance_of_religion_by_country The ones where tolerance of other religions is not a thing, right? I didn’t even open your link yet but I am guessing. Not all, no. Of course, it's possible that tolerance is actually a far more important quality than religious belief. And generally, countries are less tolerant than they like to think. This applies now, with the cancel culture, as well as back in the halcyon days of Senator McCarthy and segregation, back when everybody was sooooooo religious. You know, for much of our existence, America has been a pretty religious country. As prosperity goes, we haven't done too bad... Nobody's arguing about how rich you are. I'm not sure that had much to do with religion.

    I wonder how many people a year around the world die, are enslaved or oppressed in terms of human rights? I’d like to contextualize that with the impact of climate change. I guess the woke progressives have no room at the Inn for them.

    Today is a hurricane tropical storm day on the east coast. That can shake the markets a little. The heavy rain will be here in a few minutes. Don't worry, it caused no problem with the golf this AM.

    Where I think ranked choice voting really matters is in the event of a statistical tie. I mean when one candidate beats another by a smaller margin than the expected error rate of the system as a whole. When you have two candidates that are effectively tied (or minuscule # of votes apart), then if their second choice numbers are dramatically different it seems like a valid tiebreaker. Moreso than the vagaries of chance.
