It already is, I'm sure. Congress can designate federal enclaves basically wherever it wants to and doesn't need an amendment to do so, but I was just clarifying that rescission of D.C. didn't imply state jurisdiction.

I think that a higher court could issue a Writ of Mandamus requiring them to apply the law as directed.  Defiance of that would lead to contempt of court and jail time.

Or you can put them through the wringer so they'll think better next time.




I'm not too sure it works like that.

Perhaps. And many such suburbs were annexed by the city anyways. Point is that the strong impulse to live near the city but not in it predates cars. It was not cars that created the impulse to move to suburbs, or was the desire to move to suburbs that caused people to demand cars.

I would gesture at a novel and pointedly selective interpretation of the law in this case, but I already gather you don't find that persuasive.

I suspect that it is not so much "processing" (why would blending up pork scraps and extruding them into a sausage shape change the nutrition) but specifically preservatives which are bad over time.  Unfortunately, preservatives are usually introduced into processed foods to make them more consistent and less prone to spoilage, making them cheaper as well.

Money is not the issue. Cost disease and institutional inertia is. You're right it's a catastrophic indictment, but it's not one that can be fixed by allocating more spending or putting out large quantity bids. It's a question of long-term commitment, which requires credibility the US government no longer has and which US industry has totally given up on.

Greatly enjoying the Point Beer Cookies and Cream Stout at the neighborhood bar rather than the typical New Glarus Spotted Cow.  Otherwise, just shifting into the cold weather standbys:


    

  • Hot orange spice (usually Bigelow Constant Comment) tea with Angostura bitters and either Korbel brandy or applejack
    • 

  • Homemade apple cider
    • 

  • Tom and Jerry (hot eggnog with brandy)
    • 

  • Mulled wine
    •

Finished the Expanse series, started on Bosch.


For falling asleep, I've been listening to Andy Serkis read The Lord of the Rings for almost two years.

Without a conviction, and one that’s specifically mentioned in the constitution as disqualification for office, they’d have a very strong case.




True, but they are incompetent at lawfare and have no effective counsel willing to work on their behalf.

Also, it's not for flavor that most bread recipes (except ones that use chemical leavening) call for added sugar.  Yeast cannot thrive on flour alone.

I've also greatly improved waking by buying a couple of color changing LED bulbs for my bedroom lamps, which Alexa is programmed to gradually color shift people to my wakeup time, starting with deep blue and getting increasingly white over about 45 minutes. As a bonus, I can make the light brown in the evening before bed.

From the Stoic perspective, it is an opportunity to undertake a discomfort, for the purpose of greater appreciation for the seats you occasion to enjoy. In this sense, being able to go without is a privilege that wards off ingratitude and unhappiness.
