D&D has too many rules. I invented a really light weight set of rules so that we can engage in more "role play" as opposed to RTS. It's more fun for the casual game and you don't waste so much time between turns.

Turns out nobody is actually interested in transacting with crypto otherwise Nano would have been a winner. I also love Banano, a Nano fork where you mine by folding proteins. Work that has actual value.

Maybe it can finally get the new lines correct for a given application? ;-)

The other option would be to rebase the currency such that a single penny was a meaningful unit of money again. One potential such way would be to issue new paper notes which represent the old note with a decimal place move such that $10 becomes $100. This has been done before but might not be a great idea for the USA.

I have done it. It's actually quite thrilling, feeling that initial burst of acceleration.

> all purpose flour

Use that one. It's flour, but like for all purposes. You can make cake with it fine.

When you break down anything into its subtasks there's basically nothing that anyone wants to do. Sometimes the ends help justify the means too.

Can we remove the down side but keep the joy?

It's probably going to be even worse than that - HR (and everyone else) will probably then have to implement process and procedure and storage mechanisms to prove that emails have not been changed. This might mean storing emails in a document control system. Email is bad enough but now we're all going to have to keep a mirror in SharePoint or something like that.

It is once you've maxed out what you can borrow and are now barely able to pay the mortgage and food.

Sometimes we find it hard to see the things that are closer to home, and presume that these phenomena are do do with other peoples and cultures.

But consider in English we currently do this blue and light blue. Where say Spanish calls them different colours - blue and celeste, and they are linguistically seen as different named colours.

Interestingly we don't do this with red, there's no red and light red, but red and pink.

Maybe make them seaplanes if making airports is too expensive? I just want to bring seaplanes back any way we can really ;)

I also used it, a relative had one for their startup. There were dozens of us at least!
