Also, they'd have the asset tax on those dollar bills automatically deducted from their basic income until they can somehow prove that they're no longer holding the asset. Also, although the actual purchases are anonymized, if there's enough incidental evidence that Lee's activity is detrimental to...

I suppose Lee's disclaimer means it's not literally a crime.

Liſp? It's a great macro system, lacking only a simple programming language.

(Apologies to fans of the main alternative to my editor of choice, which needs work on its operating system.)

I just occurred to me; in a world where everyone can have the body they want, not very many seem to go for the wide model like Caleb's. Can everyone have the body they want? We've seen plastic surgery, but changing basic skeletal structure is a step beyond that. Comic 48 features someone with a tai...

While I view war very much as a last resort, I view competition as a great use of surplus resources. As long as it's reasonably balanced, compet...

My bad. I know it's late, but it's fixed now for posterity.

Countdown to Zoa bringing clients into Lee's apartment. Lee's permission only covers Zoa. But that won't stop Zoa from entering at 3AM. This is going to end with Zoa taking over Lee's apartment à la Bugs Bunny, isn't it? There are restrictions, per this (emphasis mine). Zoa was able to sign Lee up...
