Not the person you're replying to, but according to this site here [0], crustaceans make up $262M or 0.64% of the agricultural export for the UK. Not small, but certainly smaller than other agriculture sectors. [0] https://a

If you're stoked for that, then I would be remiss to not say something about Robert Alter's one man translation of the Hebrew Bible. From wiki: "Alter's translation aims to convey the literary style of the original Hebre

Not sure if you've used shortcuts on iOS but a lot of those customizations don't change the performance of anything. The shortcuts on an iphone add a half second each time you use the app, because the icon has to open the shortcut

Its an interesting statement, but how much discussion can we get from it as an audience? I haven't thought about this very much, and there is a lot I'm curious about that he hasn't elaborated on. What are the signs of rejecti

While again being technically true, I would love to see any white or asian immigrants noting the ethnography of the original Hawaiian people in the time where they first made contact with and lived among the Hawaiian people. By the time of

Yeah, its tough to understand how people think of a word on a case to case basis. Everyone will have different connotations. There is murkiness that exists as part of its use as a noun or an adjective. My point of erasure relates to making
