Well, no. But if you do a bit of reading you will see that the US low-balled because they claimed they weren’t allowed “inspection”. However, the story presents a reason for not allowing inspection besides ulterior motives: previous bad experiences.

I am going to assume that if the owners were hiring people to work the mine until other issues arose that it was at least reasonably productive. A similar reference to a subcontracting arrangement makes me think that they have a documented evaluation. That may be an unfair assumption, but it makes sense.

IANAL, but I am pretty sure that isn’t how imminent domain cases are normally decided. i.e. The fact that there is now a 4-lane highway right outside the door(decreasing value) does not factor into imminent domain valuations.

You know of mines with proven deposits and value and existing excavation in Nevada that can be purchased for much less? Please tell me where I can purchase these mines for far less.

The price the government is offering is about right for a copper mine with about 100 acres of property. It sounds, from the article, like…

This story also illustrates that Tom is the type of person who can’t see shit in front of his face. I know a person like this. It is fucking annoying as shit. Mostly because your job becomes walking in and pointing at shit in obvious places.
“Where is my car?”
“Right there!”
“Oh...”

I am super annoying. I fully endorse that position.

I guess I need to explain.

Once again. Could have just touched it.

I love that he used a “Kill A Watt” meter to test this idea. That seems like a waste. I could have done it without any fancy equipment. Just touch it.

From this comment I am guessing you grew up in the midwest? Possibly, the Northeast.

Easier calculator:
Off-campus: Great time/Bad Grades
On-Campus: Not nearly as much fun/Great grades

Pick which one matters to you!

Not this:

Wait until the Costco sells weed.

O most pernicious woman!

To be fair: Young/Dilfer were offensive players. Their knowledge of defensive rules is limited.

You might want to comment on the concurrent de-authorization of the FAA that will most likely happen on the same date. It is a bit more onerous, because besides “shutting down” a part of the government it also costs the government millions of dollars a day.

Actually, government shutdowns were not an internet of the constitution. The government shutdown is part of the anti-deficiency act which was strengthened in the 80s

Yes, and the argument for both carve-outs was explicitly that they were not “random-chance” gambling.

I agree. In normal fantasy you are only parimutuel.

What are you screaming about? The definition of fantasy as “not gambling” was always because it was a game of skill and not entirely a game of chance. How come sports-betting isn’t skill? Because of book-making. The odds are set by a professional and someone with no knowledge of the sport has about as much chance of…
