I don't get the impression that things have changed all that much in Catholic music publishing since this FEL Publications case. It sounds very familiar. There are still major music publishers that require parishes to destroy all books

The extension cord "alternate electricity system" as they call it seems particularly harrowing. You had better make sure that you know what the load rating is on each of those cords and what they are going to be supplying (or bett

Personally, as someone who buys used cars, I always look for the simpler ones. I never consider anything luxury. From a practical standpoint, that just seems like many more features to go wrong on the used car.

I think the point is that this is an artistic choice. I consider that paragraph to be halfway between poetry and prose. It's not the style of writing that you would want for most forms of communication, but if you think of it as being

The article mentions that spotted water hemlock is not particularly common, but unfortunately the same cannot be said for poison hemlock. It is a omnipresent weed around here (Pacific Northwest). And it remains poisonous for years after it

I can think of many reasons: * Batteries are really expensive and have a limited life. If my batteries were wearing out, could I go to one of these swaps and hope for a fresher set? * Different sized cars require different battery capacitie

I eventually found out about xdg-open, but I'm glad that I didn't know about it from the start. I learned to open things the more "normal" way (eg `soffice document.doc`).

For the medieval period, it would have been other herbs. Hops are something of a later addition. I don't believe that they came into very widespread use until the reformation era.

On the west coast of America, I would much rather be living in a wood frame house when an earthquake hits. Depending on construction, the house may not survive, but I probably will. Cement, stone, or brick all seem much riskier to me in an

There are some areas that have specific carve-outs to limit liability for inherently risky activities. For example agri-tourism in Oregon. If someone gets hurt or even killed on a hayride at a farm (eg), the farmer is not liable (with some
