Co-mingling isn't set by default (or wasn't last I was selling a couple months ago), you have to select it, and it can be bad news for a seller (one seller got banned from amazon and had to pay to destroy or ship home 50k products

Do most places allow this proxy card without owning the actual card these days? Back when I played in 93-97 you could use proxy cards, but it was usually a land card marked with an indicator of the real card, and the person had to pull out

It was blocked on mine too, thanks for posting a reason, I had assumed it was just bad editing. I have ABP but also have a "safe" hosts file[0] that blocks a lot of stuff like that. [0]- http://someonewhocares.org/

You're right, I posted without thinking and didn't do the math. It's on par with Vatican City though (slightly smaller), but yeah, that 45 country figure is way off. Thanks for that correction.

There's single buildings larger than a lot of countries. The Boeing plant in Everett, WA is over 399 km^2 in floor space. That puts it larger than something like 45 Sovereign states/countries[0]. [0] - https://en.wikip

My last landlord waived the fee if we had it set on automatic bill pay (via the credit card), I'm not sure if the peace of mind was worth the loss, but considering rent was 750 dollars, 2% would have only been 15 dollars. They probably

I'd say it's to do a lot with advances in turbos. Most small engine cars have turbos now that rival anything even a decade a go. This means you can get by with much smaller engines and get similar performance.

Serious question, is there really laws against social media sites or aggregate sites putting a bias in what they choose to display? I'm not sure I see why this argument is valid.

Which of those I'd use would be dependant on the situation. If I'm trying to convey a tone of militant anger or something similar, I'd go with the latter.

I tried the "breakfast as the largest meal" before, but I couldn't get by not eating much for dinner. A large breakfast made me hungry by mid-day, and so I'd eat more, by the time dinner came around, it was a light sala

I meant that I was ravenous after swimming, not typically during. I used that word because it's different than the usual "I'm a bit peckish" that happens in the morning or after a few hours of not eating. I like the co

Exercise makes me ravenous, I'm certainly not the only person for which that is true. Swimming is the worst offender, IME. I can be vigilant, but even knowing that I didn't burn enough calories to counterbalance that meatball sub

As mentioned in another comment, smallpox has killed more than it's fair share of humans. An estimated 300 million in the 20th century alone[0]. Maybe lesser known is the Spanish Flu which killed more than 50 million people worldwide
