Cigarettes aren't marketed as addictive drugs that slowly kill you either. They're marketed as social ice-breakers, as regalement, as cool. The tobacco industry knows that it doesn't matter why you smoke or vape: Nicotine is highly addictive and transcends all reason. They would gladly tell you not to smoke if that meant you'd try it. That's all they want: That you try their addictive products.

Juul may be marketed one way, but it's designed another way: Its addictive nicotine content is far higher than other e-cigarettes.

Knowing Delta's mastery of established technology lets me look forward into a bright future with them embracing the spearhead of bleeding edge technology.

Isn't this the same firm that was declaring the PC market dead about 6 months ago. It is like the 7th day Adventists, if you predict the death of something every other week, and growth the weeks in between, eventually one or the other will happen.

Oh come on. "Global PC shipments grew 1.4% in Q2 2018, first increase in 6 years" - same time last year sales fell 4.3%. In 2011, Q2 saw sales of 83.3 million, this year it was 62.1 - a drop of 25.5% despite that huge growth you so loudly cheer now. The PC market is at best undead.

Heck, here's a chart if you need a visual cue. https://www.businessinsider.de/pc-sales-decline-year-chart-2017-1?op=1&r=US&IR=T.

For your specific search, I'm much rather have a link, because I don't know how accurate or how up-to-date Google's scraping of the page is, but I'm pretty confident that the retailer in question will have up-to-date opening hours on their own site.

All that is happening now in the US has happened before in Europe. You need evidence? Just google "Putin far right funding" or "Putin Trolls". Here, let me give you a hand:

Putin is leading a full-scale propaganda war against the west, intended at undermining trust in our democarcies and our institutions.

Time to wake up, America.

Except it's not BS. I'm multilingual and follow some main online news publications of different European countries. What the US has witnessed now has been happening in Europe since Russia annexed Crimea. Russian government trolls are flooding discussion forums with pro-Putin and anti NATO / western propaganda, linking to phony stories on Russian news websites for "proof". They try to undermine trust in our democratic institutions spreading all kinds of wild conspiracy theories while accusing others of conspiracy theories when they are called out.
Russia is leading a full-scale propaganda war against the west, trying to change public opinion while funding far-right groups across Europe. They are basically trying to destabilize us. It's no joke:

I guess Russia has recently extended its operations to the US and has been disturbingly successful. The weakest candidate - Trump - became president, and the Duma applauded and cheered:

Watch out, something incredible is about to happen. Somebody is going to apologize to you, on the Internet.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be an ass. It's this damned election that has me so worked up. I'm not even American, but I simply can't believe people voted a narcissistic egomaniac with no idea of the world and who boasts about grabbing pussies as the president of the US. I guess the shock still hasn't worn off.

Also, maybe I am being paranoid about all the fake news topic and Russian involvement, but in Europe there is a real, noticeable influence in the comment sections of online journals of professional Russian trolls praising every decision Putin makes and taking ever opportunity to criticize the US and NATO with bogus arguments. It has been going on like this since the annexation of Crimea. I'm convinced there is an underground war declaration of Russia vs. the West:

It's honestly scary stuff. Then I have to think about how the Duma started cheering and clapping when Trump won the presidency. It gave me the chills that they were not just cheering for Trump, but actually at their own "Successful Operation".

Anyhow, this time, let me respectfully disagree. I think the article you quoted on Business Insider might be wrong or misleading, because the way I understood the page that I linked is, that while there are paper ballots, they are being read electronically by a machine with an optical scanner.

I am a Prime member and I can conclusively say it isn't worth the $100. Take a look at the movies/music available for Prime streaming: utter garbage

Must be an awful lot of garbage.
