“Companies are looking to slowly chip away at the burden of choice that comes with shopping, travel, and dining.”

Ugh.

Yes, I usually solve at least four words before I start moving pieces and try to get as many double swaps as possible.

When evolution says “no notes.”

Good job! Have fun.

I am in construction (not manufacturing) and own my own business. Truth is, they are both right.

Rodney is right because there are a huge number of variables that the prof’s equation is ignoring. Also, it is generally a good idea to know what you are manufacturing and work to produce that product as efficiently as possible. The professor is sort of putting the cart before the horse by building a factory with no product.

That said, we are in a learning environment and seemingly in a lower-level class. You have to strip away real-world variables to teach the lessons at hand. The professor is right not to include corrupt politicians and mafia folk, it’s too much when you are trying to start with the basics. But he should’ve had the class decide on a product - he said it himself, it could be anything - and then build up from there.

Mafia payoffs are a 300 level course.

Sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes, well, the bear eats you.

I call all of it “sugar water” so that my kids know the two main ingredients.

From SCOTUSblog,

“Based on two words separated by 16 others in … IEEPA—‘regulate’ and ‘importation’—the President asserts the independent power to impose tariffs on imports from any country, of any product, at any rate, for any amount of time,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote. “Those words,” he continued, “cannot bear such weight.” “IEEPA,” Roberts added, “contains no reference to tariffs or duties.” Moreover, “until now no President has read IEEPA to confer such power.”

“Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the main dissent, which was joined by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.”

Fortnite? My kids don’t play it anymore, I don’t know.

His argument is: 16 hours daily use is not addiction IF THAT IS THE ONLY FACTOR. He repeats it again and again. But that argument is stupid, because it ignores the other well-known and proven variables of addiction. Does this behavior have serious effects on your mental and physical health? Does it interrupt your work and play? Do you have an obsessive need to do it? The list goes on.

Who put this genius in front of a microphone?

I didn’t even know that was a possibility. That’s cool.

You don’t have to play daily to keep up the streak, you just have to get 0 stars or more (complete the puzzle). If you take a week off and come back and don’t lose, you continue the streak.

I don’t know how going back to old puzzles changes the streak.

I had no idea. I’ll make pizzas for dinner tonight!

That can’t be true, it’s just for satire, right? Right?

Have you watched any other Trek besides those two? If not, you’ll probably enjoy Discovery.

I tried to get into Discovery when it first aired, coming from being steeped in the TNG era shows. It was not the Trek I was used to and I felt it didn’t show reverence for the franchise. Now that Academy is out, though, I’m planning to rewatch and finish Discovery.

Good work!

Woo-oooo-oo-ould.

I thought this was a tough one.

I thought today’s puzzle (1463) was difficult, too: not a lot of hints.
