My mother was a reading teacher. She bought all the books her kids read each year. She'd hand them out. The kids would keep them for a few weeks, and usually return them.

Every year I would schlep several boxes of her books, between home and her classroom. 30 copies of this. 40 copies of that. Maybe a couple dozen titles. I personally would've appreciated it, if the school bought the books, so I didn't have to carry them all twice a year.

This is why I thought Blink Twice was the most realistic horror movie I've ever seen. I new that kind of thing was happening some place.

Does it matter what percentage of parts are manufactured in the US?
I feel like it did. I don't recall.

Sounds like you buy a lot of weed.

That is a tall claim.
Citation needed.

Not at all. You can absolutely choose not to vaccinate. It just limits the places you're able to work, or send your kids to school.

The freedom to swing your arms, ends at someone else's nose. If you choose to set yourself up to spread a deadly infection, it makes sense for society to limit your chance of doing so.

Of course it is!

They're not promising they won't be hacked again.
They're only promising they'll try not to be. Which is promising practically nothing.

People looking at a strobing light, start to see it as just "on" (not blinking anymore) at almost exactly 60Hz.
In double blind tests, pro gamers can't reliably tell 90fps from 120.
There is however, an unconscious improvement to reaction time, all the way up to 240fps. Maybe faster.

As common a tactic as it is, it's not actually a denial of the allegations.
It's an accusation of "Everyone does it, but they're targeting me! Not fair!"

It certainly is; Otherwise that derogatory comment itself would be illegal.

I think you may have an unworkable concept of what "solving" the plastic problem means, when you can't tell the difference between a film and a bottle. Both of which have largely phased out BPA already.
