Valid point, good clarification!

$70M “vanishes” to print pennies each year as it costs nearly 4¢ to make 1 penny. (Doesn’t actually vanish, goes to penny maker’s pockets)
Does the president really have the power to stop penny printing?
Maybe.
The president is to execute laws passed by congress. Congress passes vague laws.
One example is what coins to print. However, how many to print is left out, just that it should be “the necessary amount”
So Trump decided that the necessary amount was 0.
However, if Congress disagrees with the interpretation, then it goes to the courts.
The courts will ask if there is a precedent… which for the penny specifically - there isn’t really.
Existing precedent is about rarely used speciality / collector coins which previous presidents used the same method to reduce / eliminate production.

Why can’t this be the timeline where Bill and Ted bring peace and harmony (and mini golf scores way down).

Nice!! I don’t have any equipment to do any of this myself, but did see a video SaveItForParts on this. Cool to see some images!

Nice, thanks for sharing!
I love that you’ve included the mount radial icons
Have you gotten to a ‘near completion’ stage of this project or do you plan to keep adding to it? Ex: Any plans to add in any of the 3rd party plugins like Blish or Nexus to the install process?

The section on parlays really rang true for me. Our Fantasy football friend group has multiple guys who will post just insane 6+ leg parlays and say stuff like “Damn, I was so close!”
They justify it because it’s only a few dollars, but would pay out a ton. Feels no different than scratchers to me.
It also got so bad with people only posting their wins that there’s a ‘rule’ now that you have to post the bet when you make it, not after it hits.
Like Drew, I lost ~$50 a few years back and haven’t touched it since. But I’ve seen more and more friends get into it.
I’m just waiting for the eventual “refer a friend bonus and get $x in free bets” to be posted on our chat.

- Comment on Did Trump vote? Could he have? 3 months ago:
While Florida generally makes it challenging for people in the state with felony convictions to regain their voting rights, former President Donald Trump had no issue casting a ballot for himself Tuesday in Palm Beach.
…
*Under Florida law, if a voter has an out-of-state conviction, Florida will defer to that state’s laws for how a felon can regain his or her voting rights. Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
For Trump, that means he will benefit from a 2021 New York law that allows people with felony convictions to vote as long as they’re not serving a term of incarceration at the time of the election.*

Oh wow, thank you for this!
I don’t have any of the land plots so I filled them with pumpkins, headstones, and the cauldron. Will need to go back and add update the text.

TLDW: Nothing happens (US Plug, 120V circuit, with a “standard” 2 prong outlet)
This is because the dual plug outlet already has connected Neutral and Hot, powered by the same source.
Don’t do this

Super cool, always was a a bit disappointed when I whispered someone and they never pinged back what they had on.
Will probably still whisper first just because I like talking to people about what/why they picked certain things.

Nevermore - finally got to the 4th stage of the collection.
Been off/on working on it since HoT, but just never really put real effort into it (or was distracted by other legendaries).
About ~700 gold and a few collection pieces short
