@MCCCANM@flyslowno They're probably still trying to figure out if it was intentional or a mistake like that 767 incident you shared in an earlier post and who actually flipped the switches. The person who asked could be the one who flipped them and then trying to confuse the investigation
@KatAbughazaleh why are we even pretending any of those are valid questions to begin with? the US pays for it the same way it pays for anything: by growing its economy faster than it prints money that's not offset by taxes, which for programs with an ROI > 1 means it literally pays for itself
@gwenshap And once you've dropped everything, you can rename the enum and the fields to have the same name as the original enum/fields, so the change is transparent outside the db. It sucks when that enum makes its way into a bunch of indexes/functions/check constraints, but it's possible
@gwenshap You can totally drop a type being used by the tables if you're willing to update every row in the table. You make a new enum with the changes you want, add that to the tables using the enum, migrate from the old column to the new column, drop the old coumns, then drop the enum.
@HumpyAppleby@iowahawkblog The dollar is a soverign currency, so no we don't. We can literally just manufacture more whenever we feel like it. The thing of value that we are using to exchange is the dollar itself.
@iowahawkblog And to be extra clear, most of the monry we send them is money we manufacture from nothing. They're giving us things in exchange for prettily-painted cotton strips and numbers in a database
@zachweinberg Can someone just lie to him and tell him there's actually no trade deficit because we're selling them dollars, which is why it looks like there is a deficit? He still thinks people claiming asylum are from mental institutions, so it's not like he won't buy it
@pitdesi Youre right but the 4 flights instead of 2 has a few exceptions worth mentioning: slot restrictions, required pilots/aircraft, and not spacing due to timing for connections. Br17 and br27, for example, fly the same route offset by 30 minutes, presumably due to connections.
@aidenybai At the simplest, because the Map type definition currently has no way to define a map that has a certain key set. That'd probably get super extra hairy because set, del, and clear would affect what can be inferred.
