@anwar_nairi I prefer the syntax of model methods but usually use actions for business logic because sometimes actions can touch more than just one model type so the code doesn’t belong in the model class. I often keep the db logic in models instead of repository though.

So actually @delta I don’t “respect the choice about masking” made by my neighbor on DL466 on Sunday, because his maskless coughing and spluttering over 6 hours has had a predictable result. He chose for me and I don’t appreciate that he was able to.

Few live to tell the tale.

"Describe ur investment process?"
"What did u learn?"

@davidsitrick Wow, you're still talking about Bush v Gore two decades later? Give it up, dude.
