He should have incorporated himself. That way no Texas court would ever convict him of anything.

Repressed self hatred much?

The first couple of weeks on a private tracker are always pretty rough, until you can build up your ul/dl ratio high enough to get some breathing room.

Some sites make things easier on newbs than others.

If possible, look for recent freeleech torrents, especially popular ones, download them even if you aren't really interested in the content, and seed them 24/7 to build your ul stats..

This was by design to kickstart the private industry for space development.

NASA could have just kept building and flying space shuttles, but since the retirement of the space shuttle program in 2011, they were renting payload space on Russian rockets to get stuff into orbit.

Getting off of dependence on Russian rockets turned out to be tremendous foresight.

You have at least 10 years from when your tapes were written.

Hope the device you have to read them still works ..

Light and medium roasts are finicky and vary by the bag.

The lighter the roast, the easier it is to brew too long, resulting in astringency.

If a brew is astringent, keep reducing brew time until the astringency goes away.

They're all pretty much the same people.

Yes, that's pretty much it.

Sparsely populated states like the Dakotas have more votes than their population proportionally should have.

Take North Dakota vs California, for example:

North Dakota has 3 electoral votes, California has 54

North Dakota's population is about 784K, and California 39 million, or about 50 times North Dakota's population

If California had proportional electoral representation to ND's based on their population, it would have 150 electoral votes to ND's 3.

Also Southern/conservative states mostly take away the right to vote from felons for life, and therefore a large chunk of the African American vote is ineligible because of disproportionate policing of those communities. Among other problems with AAs' access to their voting rights, like gerrymandering, fewer polling stations, etc.

 

A pretty good summary of the DOJ documents in the Russian propaganda campaign.

 

Just when you thought it was over...

Redstone/Paramount to consider a competing bid for the company...

 

Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...

It's not looking good, folks...

George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI
