With how poor delivery services coverage in my area is, if I look for Saddleback and don't find it soon, I'm probably uninstalling because they won't have anything else I'm looking for. Might install again next year to see if it's better.

I wonder what the highest x% is that the courts would accept as not totally bs. I'm pretty sure if Steam said, oh yeah, you can re-sell within Steam but we'll just take 99% lol, that would not be ok.

And the relevant text: "In the current implementation, trusted 'validator nodes' are core to the security model. This means that hard power is centralised around these few entities. The protocol itself depends on these entities to (as the name suggests) validate the protocol. This means the protocol is whatever they decide it is. These entities can change the rules whenever they want. This means they can freeze your coins, take your coins, issue new coins, or really whatever they want - the sky is the limit."

So the goal is to be like a food court, but cheaper and/or better because, due to delivery-only, the location can be cheaper, and the space can be more efficiently used (no customer seating)?

Any time my wife tried to sleep in her last hospital stay, the attached vital checkers got jostled and started beeping. She is used to sleeping in a reclined position and sleeps easily. I have no idea how a less-easy sleeper would get by.

> purpose is to allow or encourage specific illegal actions

You know how kids used to pass paper notes in class? Well, yesterday I learned that kids still do this. Except now they do it through the comments and review section on Google Docs. Shared Google Docs that they are supposedly taking notes on for class, or collaborating on an assignment. And if a teacher or parent comes by, they hit "resolve all", and everything disappears.

Purpose is mutable.

I thought this was some kind of project for automating LEGO deconstruction down to the smallest possible bricks (hardware).
