An apartment with 50 applicants is underpriced.


Small price to pay for the truth.


The length of the password is 14.

  function randomPassword() {
    let letters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ';
    let digits = '0123456789';
    let punctuation = '!"#$%&\'()\*+,-./:;<=>?@[\\]^_`{|}~';
    let s = letters.repeat(7) + digits.repeat(4) + punctuation.repeat(3);
    let length = 14;
    let res = Array.from({length}, (() => s[randomInt(s.length)])).join('');
    debugger; // どうぞ
    return res;
  }


Wow, I've never even considered tipping at Starbucks.


Interesting. I tip at Starbucks always but almost never at Dunks.

I have no fully acceptable-to-me rational explanation for this arbitrary-seeming difference. I can concoct a backwards justification, but I very rarely go to either, so I haven't had to unravel this mystery.


Those arbitrary-seeming differences are everywhere once you try to justify who gets tips and who doesn’t. Pretty much every justification of why tips are great applies to jobs that don’t get tips, and vice versa.


> we can easily live on plants alone.

This has only been true for about the past 50 years, when vitamin B12 was synthesized. There's no plant source for the vitamin. And I'm not even sure the vegans call a vegan diet "easy".


> treasure of flavor.

Heck yea, it is!


>> anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

And yet here we are.


People will die either way.


Me too, Jack, me too.


"beg the question" does not have a literal meaning. It makes no sense unless you're so used to hearing it used that way.


"beg" often means "beg for". "This situation begs for the question:" is a completely reasonable way to start a sentence.

Or to go with synonyms. Solicits the question. Entreats the question. These are the literal meanings of the words, and they work fine.
