The risk it outside wild birds. If you have feed on the ground and wild birds are also eating it (and pooping on it), your Chickens could be infected.

No, you're not safe if your chickens are exposed to wild birds. If they're outside feeding on seed that other wild birds also have access to they're at risk.

Isn't the problem here bird flu? I'd be very afraid of raising chickens right now and inviting this kind of thing directly into my home. The solution here is to suck it and go without eggs while this thing hopefully blows over.


Yesterday both candidates were too old. Today only one is.


The man is in his 80s. If he doesn't think he's up to the task of winning than so be it. Better a hail mary than doing nothing.


Most scrap yards are run by shady goons who don't care enough to enforce the rules.


The social security tax limit is indexed with inflation and updated annually by the IRS without an act of congress. This indexing is factored into their funding calculations.


In an actual post-apocalyptic situation there wouldn't be any usable gasoline left within a year. EV's would actually last longer with a proper solar array.


Its hot during the day, so people come out at night and can see if there's a full moon. Considering that it's still night, people may be drinking and can be generally up to no good.


Isn't that what they're trying to do though? Perfectly price their product for demand at any given time? Not saying I like the idea, but it seems like pure supply and demand in action.


Yeah but it's more like the prisoner's dilemma vs. the iterated prisoner's dilemma. Some people think that what makes the modern world work is hyper-optimization, but what really makes the modern world work is reliability. If my counterparty, the hamburger stand, is trying to hyper-optimize their profit by doing dynamic pricing, now I have to run my own optimization loop to find the best value hamburger stand for that particular hour, and maybe I don't want to waste my time/energy trying to figure out what the best hamburger stand is at any given moment, so I just go to the one that charges the same prices all the time.


Wendy's doing this almost seems predatory. They know people will show up and not pay attention to the prices.

I do, however, like the idea of surge pricing for sit-down restaurants. If restaurant prices raised to guarantee available seats (like hotel rooms), there are plenty of instances where I would pay a premium to eat near an event I'm attending.
