Reply to comment by DTFH_ in Body is 17-year-old accused of shooting 2 at Denver high school, Colorado coroner confirms - CNN by oldschoolskater

We have two versions, the 'parent/ student agree' version which is usually like some truancy, minor behavioral or just... traditional school didn't work version. We also have the "you're at this school now, don't end up in prison" version. They're two separate campuses.

The "you're a danger" version is not in any way, shape or form a parental choice. You will go there. The regular school is no longer an option.

Reply to comment by SamurottX in Alameda passes delivery fee cap even as Uber threatens exit by Xanthn

Is that how it's done? I've never worked uber eats but I delivered pizza. We'd deliver at least 3 orders at a time unless the clock was running out.

Here's my app idea. Food drops. You can only order food from 1 restaurant at any given time. It's all on a schedule. The delivery guy picks up all the orders going to a particular geography and delivers in a petal run. So Stew, is guaranteed like 6 orders, all no contact delivery so you can leave at the door.

> ... What I am referencing is that the guns bought over time don't go away. ...

Ah. I misunderstood. I thought that "huge proliferation of guns now" was intended to be about some kind of recent change in gun availability or gun ownership. I think that everyone agrees that there are hundreds of millions of guns in private hands in the US.

In case you care, it's not that hard to find other charts of gun ownership rates over time:

> No idea why you think someone in real estate is "hoarding" properties if they own more than (some number) of properties.

Because that's the definition of hoarding.

> Go build as many properties as you want, it is a free country.

Properties are land, not houses. And the only people building on multiple properties are the wealthy. I don't know what kind of argument you think you're making, but "let people with money do anything they want with it with no limits" is about as piss-poor a decision you could possibly make in a capitalism-based nation.

> What someone's mortgage payment is is utterly irrelevant to what they should charge for rent.

It's partially relevant as it tends to sway rent and mortgage prices in the area.

> Some landlords own their property free and clear, does that mean they should charge less than someone who has a big mortgage on a similar property?

They're all going to float to a similar price for equivalent homes based on the area price so this isn't even a valid question. They could absolutely afford to, but they're not going to. You're asking if just because it's more moral, that they should be compelled?
