FWIW - The plant you're referring to in NY is not a coal plant, it's a natural gas plant.

I think the statement says they will not be selling any in the future.

That's natural gas, not coal.

Let's use your analogy. Is it okay for a free ebook to remotely update (in a way that makes the version you previously downloaded gone forever)? How about a free documentary you downloaded? A textbook? Would it still be okay if the upd

If I recall, it was the repair shop owner who shared an image of the hard drive with Giuliani's people. He thought the FBI wasn't doing enough with it. Edit: Source https://www.delawareonline.com/story/news&#x

Daily Planet was indeed a great show. I wasn't aware it was cancelled. But, I'd be surprised if many science-minded people from Gen-X or later, were still watching cable in large numbers. Same for the local 6:00 news for that matt

I think they only use the Sony chips in their watch line up. Hopefully someone else can confirm.

Is this actually true? I find it very hard to believe you can do anything at a bank with tens of thousands of dollars in cash without presenting ID.

How can something be both "at the end", and "unskippable"? Where would you skip to?

You might be reading way too much into the "old, white" part IMHO. It was a generalization. A generalization that was successful in illustrating that the ad was targeted primarily at legislators and their peers. Nothing more.

Thanks for that. I still find it curious that according to the contract, they would have to give the money back if they change the name. At least thats whats being reported.

You may well be correct, but I'm unable to find anything confirming it. Do you have a source? The linked article says removing the name would require returning the money per the terms of the contract and " the hospital agreed in 2

I wonder how this could be monetized though? Apple dropped their affiliate program for the App store quite a while back.

But he did. According to the article, the hospital is contractually obligated to use the name for 50 years.

Out of curiosity, where are you from, that you were told the virus would "die out" after just two weeks of lockdowns? And also, can you back your claims that the spring lockdowns "didn't do shit"? That's not at
