    $70M “vanishes” to print pennies each year as it costs nearly 4¢ to make 1 penny. (Doesn’t actually vanish, some goes to penny maker’s pockets* - see reply below)

    Does the president really have the power to stop penny printing?

    Maybe.

    The president is to execute laws passed by congress. Congress passes vague laws.

    One example is what coins to print. However, how many to print is left out, just that it should be “the necessary amount”

    So Trump decided that the necessary amount was 0.

    However, if Congress disagrees with the interpretation, then it goes to the courts.

    The courts will ask if there is a precedent… which for the penny specifically - there isn’t really.

    Existing precedent is about rarely used speciality / collector coins which previous presidents used the same method to reduce / eliminate production.

    So maybe this will kill the penny, but also maybe not. If it does kill the penny, it could set an interesting precedent for future presidents to kill off anything congress hasn’t been explicit on.

    … I hope all my president / precedents are correct lol.

    Leave it off for a few days and stick it near a dehumidifier if you have one. As long as it stays off until it’s completely dry it should be okay.

    Agree with the other commenter that rice isn’t the best bet. Even if nothing ‘bad’ happens, it can get stuck in the heat sink and/or get moldy if you don’t get it all out.

    If you’re really worried, you could take the shell off the deck off and dry the inside.

    The section on parlays really rang true for me. Our Fantasy football friend group has multiple guys who will post just insane 6+ leg parlays and say stuff like “Damn, I was so close!”

    They justify it because it’s only a few dollars, but would pay out a ton. Feels no different than scratchers to me.

    It also got so bad with people only posting their wins that there’s a ‘rule’ now that you have to post the bet when you make it, not after it hits.

    Like Drew, I lost ~$50 a few years back and haven’t touched it since. But I’ve seen more and more friends get into it.

    I’m just waiting for the eventual “refer a friend bonus and get $x in free bets” to be posted on our chat. Wouldn’t expect anything less from betting companies than combing gambling with a pseudo pyramid scheme.
