Mars sells M&Ms in bags with a bunch of colors.
If Mars wants to sell a bag with no blue M&Ms at a premium then they can fuck off when I instead buy the normal one and simply don't eat the blue ones.

No it's not. Hidden city is wanting to go from NYC -> Chicago and instead buying a ticket from NYC -> LA that just happens to have Chicago as a stop. Chicago is the "hidden city" that you want. You know exactly what the GP said.
Of course there's the risk of flight cancellations resulting in that flight getting cancelled and the NYC->LA people being rebooked on a different flight that doesn't stop in Chicago.
You're wrong. Which should be obvious given the name "back-to-back" which would obviously involve multiple tickets.
That's simply false. Treasury can mint coins without any interaction with the Federal Reserve and thus increase the money supply.
If they are not retarded, sure.
Of course given that hipster part and the tattoo part that's not exactly likely.
And if gold is only useful in gigantic transactions far above the amount of cash most people can afford, what's the point?
The point is all the things you didn't like in the rest of our post.
Basically that governments can't increase the money supply arbitrarily.
You are of course free to think that government should be able to do exactly that. That doesn't change what the point of a commodity currency is.
Fiat doesn't mean arbitrary. It means what it says: a currency in which the value of each currency unit is simply declared by fiat. As opposed to a commodity currency in which the value of each currency unit is simply the value of what it is made of.
Nothing says you can't have inflation in a commodity currency (gold from the new world famously did so after all) or deflation. Nothing says the "value" is constant or not arbitrary or anything different from the perceived value. But it certainly isn't fiat.
And there's no such thing as "not enough gold". If you moved the world to a gold standard overnight and we pretend that the world economy doesn't collapse then there's enough gold - the value of gold relative to everything else sky rockets of course. And you use a use a representative currency not actual gold coins of course.
Windows NT is software. An ipad app is software.
You'd have to pretty damn retarded to not see how the two cases are similar. Not exactly the same of course, which no one claimed anyway.
Your reading ability caps out at 7 words?
Obviously the university is going to overrule that - there's going to be some students who aren't part of the behavior he doesn't like and doesn't have the basic skills to deal with.
Give 0% marks to those that cheat. Set a hard final exam. Fail most of them the correct way.
But of course really he just didn't want to teach the class anymore and this forced the university to find someone else to take the class.
No he means what he said.
The mailbox of the submissions is there. So you can see the Subject, Date, From, To, and body of the emails. Which has nothing to do with the inboxes of the people who sent the emails.
Except that the issue here is the people who want get the football channels in football season, but don't want the baseball channels in baseball season or the football channels not in football season for that matter.
Maybe you should work out that there not all card games are blackjack. There are no revealed cards that are then hidden before a reshuffle in a texas hold em game, so there is nothing to count. Seven card stud, as one example, would be a poker game in which there are such cards - but such a small number that all the player's (well or the ones who can actually play) remember them.
The "water is wet" was for a different claim and thus irrelevant. Again words mean things, as does punctuation. You can't just randomly stick things together to build your strawman.
"but the nutjob, true believers in psuedo-science" - those words mean something. Maybe try not just skipping over them?
