Take 10m out of your day and just sit back and revel in Riviera Paradise. SRV was such a legend.

If I learned one thing from video games is that real heroes run inane errands for people who seem capable but say they can’t do these tasks themselves.
@tewha @atomicbird Even more strongly, I feel that creating methods like this that don’t use an implicit `self` are a smell. You’re creating a free function that has no reason to be bound to that object.

@tewha @atomicbird I don’t necessarily consider it a code smell. Many methods are better kept “quasi-atomic”; adding methods just to organize should be weighed against the increased API surface (and dev tendencies to use/reuse/*repurpose* methods inappropriately), as well as whether it improves or reduces testability.

With this, I’d consider adding it to Array<Expense> with a default parameter of `.now` to improve its reusability and testability, but many might feel it reduces discoverability.

This is very good to see in Washington State. ICE and other law enforcement officers hiding their identities are meant to terrorize the population, thwart public accountability and are fundamentally incompatible with democracy.

Kinda interesting seeing just how fast people are to erase César Chavez from places, and how slow they are to erase Epstein abusers.
