So why are "actual shareholders" selling?

I agree that'd be better, but that ship has long since sailed. I for one specifically don't wish for that because a breaking change like that would create a new python 2/3 situation.

FWIW you described the exact reason I listen to so many audiobooks. I struggle with insomnia, and one thing that helped quite a bit was taking a walk before bed while listening to an audiobook. If I listened to music I could just tune it ou

I had to look up GraphicAudio, but FWIW Downpour.com seems to have a pretty good collection of books published by them (including Sanderson titles). I've been using them for years because (almost) all of their stuff is DRM free.

I think you are overestimating how clear the rules of the road are. For example two people arrive at a 4 way stop. The rules dictate whoever arrived goes first. Arrived at the same time? Yield right. Easy right? But are you sure the guy in

Depending on where you (want) to live in the US your going to have a hard time finding a home not covered by an HOA, and that HOA will almost certainly restrict your house colors. Not defending it, just observering that the difference for m

So should we bring back a poll tax then?

I think you are vastly overestimating POTUS' powers. They can't simply issue an edict to send someone to prison.

Honest question, what would make it illegal? Charities pushing for social change is 100% a thing and I don't think it's limited to such a vague concept as "positive" social change.

> If that person didn't want their location shared Is there anywhere in the policy that specifies that? By my read of the policy this is disallowed no matter what the other person thinks.

This feels like tweeting something like "hanging out with <person> at <restraunt>" is now a bannable offense? Am I missing something?

I rather think that revealing that our government is violating our 4th amendment rights is worth whatever minor harm it may have done to our ability to spy on our allies. I don't think you can reveal something like PRISM being used dom

Snowden revealed warrantless wiretapping of US citizens, not just foreign nationals. Unlike WikiLeaks he reviewed each document before release to attempt to minimize harm.

Two things can be true. It can both be true that your sexual desire has an inherit, non-mutable component, while ALSO being partly shaped by your experiences. Just because a homosexual person can't be conditioned to be attracted to the

I'm not sure what point your trying to make. It makes sense to ban Christmas lights and not cooking, even if cooking requires more power. Cooking is maybe not technically required to eat, but it's about as close to an essential us
