Yeah this is true. My joke makes an assumption about the type not being a primitive type.

var isn't global unless it's not inside a function. var is just function scoped, with declaration auto hoisted to the beginning of the function. let is a little more intuitive since you can't refer to it before it's been declared and has block scope rather than function scope.

Joke's on you because they're all still mutable objects behind the reference.

Are you my toddler? We don't drink soda but the rest of this is like reading their playbook.

Having seen some of the things Gabe has done, like personally delivering the first Steam Decks and constantly speaking at gaming conferences and doing panels, etc, I think a lot of it is him. I do worry about whether he has a succession plan in place.

Well I did buy one already. And I can afford it. But I love seeing those higher gas savings numbers.

How am I going to justify the purchase of an EV if these gas prices keep falling? 😅

Furthermore, I suspect there's a lot of availability bias in play. In rural communities you can do a lot of environmentally unfriendly things and not see immediate consequences because there's a lot more availability of the externalities per person. Nature can heal itself when density is low. Or you can leave that spot alone and have plenty of space for yourself still. In cities you more quickly see a lot of the consequences of policy changes large populations, especially when it comes to visible side effects. You also see poverty and may not see benefits of community help as much because it's just so dang expensive to live in a city, much less both live and run organizations that do help others outside of government, which I've definitely seen happen when they can afford the real estate for e.g. a homeless shelter. People do genuinely want to help sometimes but they're often not the loud ones making waves and running for office on hateful platforms.

Knowing Goldens, that may have been precisely the plan. Or hoping the pup would knock over the whole bin onto the floor.
