Not a lawyer, but a podcast I used to follow did a "Bar Exam Question of the Week". One of the questions had to do with frequent business records being an exemption to hearsay. By that question, I'd say this would be the exac

According to this[0] post, the legislation only applies to 75 billion or more Euro companies. So, you won't have to worry about that until you reach 75 billion Euros. [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34996473

I've been of the mind that it should START with any profits. Then the fine. It was a crime after all. They should be required to disgorge any gains, and then be penalized. I worry how hard it would be to calculate these numbers though.

Many DNS providers allow you to curl a particular URL to set the IP address for your domain. Set your server to curl it periodically, and it solves the lack of a static IP.

I've thought for a while now that driving a car (and probably gas powered cars) will go the way of horses. A leisure activity that some will enjoy, but will pass from the conciseness of society with time.

I feel like this is a bit disingenuous. The general populous/average consumer prefers simplified options. They aren't tech savvy as many here are. When you throw a bunch of specs at them their eyes glaze over. And then ask you if

(All this is wrong, go to edit) I would expect this mead to be high ABV, in the 12-13% range. The rule of thumb I've heard, and has been good in my experience is 1.035 SG per 1 lb honey per 1 gallon of water. The 3 lbs in 1 gallons wo
