I think it was 2004 when Hillsong topped the AU chart with a worship album for the first time. It turns out having a conference with ~10,000 people who are all inclined to buy your new CD lets you top the album chart for a week.

It's been 500 years since Paracelsus supposedly said something along the lines of: "All things are poison, and nothing is without poison, the dosage alone makes it so a thing is not a poison." https://en.wikipedia.

I agree completely about non-fiction books. There are certainly some fiction books that could use some shrinking down (For Exhibit A: Crossroads of Twilight -- book 10 of the Wheel of Time)

So the best example of a free market here is from China... Chinese companies made a bad product (in this case poisoned baby formula)... And so now there's a thriving market in buying formula in countries that have all the regulation a

There are some use-cases where voice is a better interaction method. Driving alone in a car is one -- so you can keep both hands on the wheel and both eyes on the road. Another one is in the kitchen. My hands are often full/busy&#x2F

When I was a kid ~25 years ago it wasn't the "classic" blocks I was jealous of my friends for having though. It was something like the Forbidden Island (6270) set as shown here: http://legosteveblog.blogspot.com&#

Like the OP I paid for a copy of angry birds in 2010 or so. I’d love to let my kids play that version. But auto updates means that version is long gone — and I don’t even have the option of paying more to just turn off the ads

Except there’s a very large gap between: * corrupt entity A gave me $X And: * corrupt entity B bought Y from me at price $Z at essentially market value. The amount to return in the first case is obvious. The second is much less clear (since
