Then maybe y'all shouldn't've started a senseless war to close it in the first place.

Oof, yeah, I forgot to covert my multiplier to a proper percent. Thanks.

Okay. That doesn't mean I shouldn't visit other places.

Sanctum 2. Though I do wish for a graphics update.

I'm not sure that ~~0.00006%~~ 0.006% of a city population dying as pedestrians means "don't visit."

They learned that the opposition will always extend grace in the name of "healing the nation."

He has about $1,000,000,000,000 more than me.

Well, you could not do stupid shit like that. More seriously you could just let business men run your country and pay them to move there. Then some will take you up on your offer and continue to sequester assets away from society and into their private control.

We don’t control the sheriff’s budget. We give him X number of dollars, he does with it what he wishes.

So you do control the sheriff's budget.

Eventually, the residents do select one representative, who was allowed to speak for seven minutes.

To prevent a room full of people each having their requisite 3 minutes they gave one guy slightly more than double the allotted per person time.

All told though, terrible response from the county. I can understand why the group representative policy is a thing, but that shouldn't allow the county to compel the creation of a group just to not have you hear their constituents. Hope the board gets kicked out when they can.

"No," and "yes," and "maybe."

No: Public companies have to maximize profits for their investors--everything else be dammed. That means your investments are not really able to go to a "good cause" if trading publicly.

Yes: Private companies may allow investing in the company if you work for them. If you have a job with one that's socially conscious you can invest directly in that. Private companies do not need to maximize profits.

Maybe: You could look into microloan platforms. I haven't checked the efficacy of any in particular, and you won't make much, but there are some causes that'll be directly impactful.

In the US we have a mix of:

  • Price per individual unit
  • Price per entire unit
  • Price per weight
  • Price per volume

And different products from the same category will choose different ones so you have to do the math anyway.

E.g. Sometimes our berries will be sold in split tubs so you'll get the price for the whole thing and then on the comparison tag a price for half the tub. That will be sitting next to a different brand of the same berry in a package 2oz smaller and it's comparison text will have the price per Oz, sitting next to that is an entire other brand and it will list the price of the whole unit and in comparison will list the same price again labeled explicitly as "per unit".

Like every thing the US manages to shit out it's an utterly terrible system.

US population is about 340M people. Deporting 100M would be about 1 in 3 people. Where will your food come from?

 
 

May have been obvious to others, but I only caught this detail recently after using Linux for over 15 years.

 

I've never been able to make up my mind on whether or not the character has its hands raised or just has prominent ears. Frankly I prefer to believe they are its hands and the character is quite pleased with its star.

Is there a canon answer?
