So what? It's an abhorrent and dystopian law along with Saudi Arabia's speech laws. He has never done a violent thing to a person, has not defrauded anyone, and is in jail for 10 years due to writing political parodies.

I am in the process of writing my own scraper for recipe sites that grabs only the recipes and parses them into a machine readable (searchable) format. Turns out you don't need much for parsing, because an incredibly large percentage o

And yet those states with lax gun regulations have nothing even close to the level of gun crime in the Chicago area. If it was availability of guns that was the catalyst for this behavior, one would expect to see similar patterns elsewhere.

It's the same in German. Hot mustard is "scharf" meaning sharp, but in the USA you would buy "spicy" brown mustard. Horseradish is sharp. Habaneros are hot/spicy. I agree that a raw garlic clove or the right ra

Was this recently disabled? I'm on mobile right now (android) and tried reloading in desktop mode, but to no avail. I never saw this prompt. The way you describe it almost seems like a joke, as in "If GDPR were a GUI".

I had to look around for the source of this, and I can't find the "with similar test scores" part in the Vanderbuilt site article on the Vanderbuilt study this is based on. It says 66% less likely, but the "similar test

"truth", "counterfactuals" Words that no longer have a definition aside from whatever the user finds favorable for their own means. I prefer we remove all the stops and see what the chaos brings. Survival of the fittest.

Statements and actions are two very different things, and as far as I can tell the rioters have the support of both corporations and the state, as absolutely nothing has been done to deal with the unrest. That is, unless you start to cause

And they were for the most part correct. The 90's and early 2ks were filled with trash music. The only nice thing compared to the pop lists today is that those bands still actually played instruments. I look back at what I listened to

A used R32 or Golf R and a stage 2 ecu tune (downpipe) will easily do it, and be a better car overall. I like the RS a lot, but not $40,000 a lot.
