The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Of course, if we know things are punishable (e.g. DUI), that should affect how those uncontrollable factors act upon us. I would think. Not 100%, but and influence all the same.
