"Well regulated" refers to their ability to shoot straight, and a militia is a civilian force. This language is about civilians being capable of handling weapons.

It's pronounced, "primmer."

> sometimes negatively impacting business is very good

This is an oxymoron.

Anyone who calls this election fair is not impartial. The scale of the fraud is enormous and undeniable.

Tell me, how many Venezuelans abroad were able to vote? How many were kept out of the country because the borders were closed? How many were threatened or intimidated into voting for Maduro? How many votes were cast using false ID? How many were confused by the ballot which had 13 options to vote for Maduro? How many polling stations were closed at the last minute?

And my point is that a store deciding to unionize could negatively impact the business. Calling for the death of the company, and inciting images of child slaves in chains is not an argument against that. It's an appeal to emotion.

Is it not possible that employees forming a union could be bad for business?

> At this size

Size has nothing to do with it. Just because a company is large doesn't mean it needs to start making poor business decisions.

> corporate death penalty

That's a bit extreme. If you want to be seen as objective, this kind of inflammatory rhetoric will only work against you.

There is if your goal is to attract a wider audience. Call me old fashioned, but if you can't even be bothered to capitalize the first letter of each sentence in your publication, I'm probably not going to read it.

It is incredibly frustrating to realize that a lot of companies are within their right to deny you service as soon as you even _appear_ to pose a risk to them.

Geico recently denied my renewal of insurance because they said their underwriters received notification that I use my vehicle for business. (I don't.) I have spent hours trying to explain to them that this is a mistake, but they have zero interest in providing me with insurance. I've heard this is common for people in CA.

I'm not sure what legal recourse the people in this story have. Hopefully they have a legal right to at least download an archive of their data so they can recover old emails, attachments, photos, etc.

> There is no 1:1 relationship between mining cost and reward on a single block

Ah, I see what you mean.

I think I've been mixing up my costs. When I wrote the original comment, I was thinking about the total energy cost for mining this block, i.e., the energy cost of all the nodes that worked on it. But the truth is, I have no idea about the economics of BTC mining. I was just being facetious :)
