Really neither of those is a good option. I vote sleeping from 4am until, say, 8. How about that?
Well, if you can please convince my work that I needn't be here until 10, then that will work.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Hey, lawyer-types or otherwise knowledgeable people:
Is there a difference between the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and U.S. Code (USC)?

Trust my rage
Well, the USC is the stuff passed by Congress and the CFR is the regulations created by the agency. But I bet some of our legal librarians will have a better answer.

Psst, Jesse - everything is my fault.
may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.
Um, how does one do that? "Hey, kid, wanna neglect some words? all the cool kids are doing that!" sort of thing? Now I'm reminded of that (green? blue?) dude in the trenchcoat in "Sesame Street" who tried to sell bottles of air to, um, maybe it was Ernie? He was all "hey, wanna buy some air?".

Stephanie gets it in one. The USC is the compilation of current law on the books arranged by subject. The CFR are the regulations of the federal agencies.

Okay, but the USC and the CFR seem to cover the same subjects. Title 33 is "Navigation and Navigable Waters" in both of them. So...I don't understand the difference.
Is it that the Code covers the specific laws that have been passed by Congress, and that the CFR takes that as a basis and then creates federal regulations?
They shouldn't conflict, should they?

I don't know if the US is the same, but here, the laws deal with the thou shalts and shalt nots and the regulations deal with the administrative requirements that fufill the shalls and shan'ts.

Yes. In the index to the CFR there's a table that tells you where the authority is (in the USC) that gave the agency the right to make regulations on a certain subject.
They shouldn't conflict, should they?
They shouldn't. I wouldn't necessarily be surprised if there was an instance where the agency's interpretation seemed wrong.
