Island - Aldous Huxley

Less radicalized and more just opened my thinking about how society could be and how imperial forces and people's desires get in the way constantly. More of a 'this is why utopia can't happen' vs Brave New World's 'look at this dystopia'

It's not really the eastern plains though. It seems that's tossed around to make it sound like she absconded to the rural, barren wasteland to find hick voters because she's being outcast from the Republican party - while part of her district is the plains there's virtually no one there. It's Douglas county where all her constituents actually are and that's the wealthy southern suburbs of Denver. I'm fact, she has one of if not the wealthiest districts in the state. DougCo has seen some demographic shake ups recently, however, so we'll see how long that contingent of folks keeps voting red as they recently ousted their conservative school board.

Roll your own with a mini-PC?

You just described exactly how things are (except it's not double, it's like 20x)

The rich absolutely refusing to acknowledge their privileges that aided in making them richer or the sheer luck involved makes me absolutely sick

Time to invest in an infrared thermometer to check things out

I say do it on square footage. One 4000sqft house counts the same as 2 x 2000sqft homes

The folks at the vineyard are pretty nice too! Guy had a programming background but decided to get into wine

Not really, no - they're kinda famous for being temperate due to the Atlantic currents

Again, please read the article. The more apt comparison would be if McDonald's Plumbing started selling and marketing burgers. This is a pretty straightforward case and will likely be settled for a sum that can be found in Netflix's/AEG's couch cushions. Also, "maliciousness" is not a factor in determining trademark infringement.

Did you read the article? They are now doing a live tour of KPop Demon Hunter" and they have at least one example of there being confusion in the market. AEG and Netflix could have promoted the tour as HUNTR/X: KPop Demon Hunters or something to avoid this. I suspect there will be a settlement as just because there was no confusion when it was just a movie doesn't mean they can go into live concerts with the same name.

Tbh, the Midwest gives the US a bad name when it comes to food preferences. The south spices the hell out of foods, the southwest has a ton of Mexican influence, the west coast has both Mexican and Asian influence in their cuisine

 

As the title states, it seems with the latest update, image/gif insertion is no longer working. Can others confirm this behavior?
