Lego has very responsive customer service. They will send you missing parts, or even replacements if you break something, most of the time. Next time, email them. That's part of what the price buys you.
The current generation of tinkertoys are crap, likely because they are now made from tree farm fast growth (==renewable) wood. They snap and crack upon every disassembly.
Now when I was a kid, they were solid, good, old growth wood and lasted forever!
Until very recently, every lego bought for me as a child, and for my child, has been labeled "Made in Denmark or Switzerland". No outsourcing to China here.
That plus toy markup is rather obscene.
There's nothing irrational about hating Apple.... I still use a Mac a lot because I do multimedia production, which unfortunately only the Mac handles well at this time.
There is nothing irrational about hating the only company that is bothering to market a good solution to your work needs?
Thousands. There's a market segment Apple should be catering to.
Demands require leverage to back them up. Got any? Me either, so we don't get the mac we want. Not sure why you feel Apple owes it to us though.
Since we have accurate mouse specimens dating back at least 2000 years (being conservative), with little or no change, we can assume that detectable changes take more than 2000 years.
No, you can assume that in the case of mouse evolution, the selective pressures were such that detectable change in that case took more than 2000 years.
You cannot extrapolate a single case to a general rule like that. In the case of an elephant, rapid evolution to a larger size may have been a result of lowered vulnerability to some predator in combination with types of food available that were not factors for the contemporary mouse.

Innocence really doesn't have much in the way of naked breasts to stare at. Especially in the parts most easily appreciated as art.
That said, I don't have any trouble reading the subs and watching at the same time. Not to mention, the director has pretty specifically ruled out a dubbed version according to what I've read.
Maybe so, but the US government has nukes, plenty of them, making new ones . .. Are they? I thought there was currently debate on that even going forward.
It's more along the lines of one must check their knowledge at the door. Once you have a comprehensive enough scientific background, you can understand there is no need for a god for the universe to be as it is. It may not be precluded, but it is not a given.
Most children I know lack this background.
I don't doubt Sony may have said something like that, but it was probably in the context of "at this time in the rollout of the format". $100 players are probably a year or more out, but they will come, as the CE mfrs have time to develop new players at higher price points recoup their costs with some profit and develop cheaper units, instead of going into the slash prices and burn profit realm where Toshiba went and no other mfrs would follow.

So the cake is a lye?
Duplo are made by Lego.

I was of the understanding it grants them immunity from civil suits, not criminal prosescution. Is that incorrect?
I ran into a *lot* of people that were on the *far* side of weird every time I went there.
Any beach in Europe will have 1/4th of the women going topless. And *nobody* *cares*
Europeans don't like boobs, and you're calling us weird??

So it should be redesigned to stop any company from doing something some consumers don't like?
Indeed. Isn't the alternate name for the program "no child gets ahead"?
Great. Then my friend with the asteroid-shaped head is gonna get pulled out of line a the airport all the time.
Who began using the concrete to fashion cement overshoes. Who doesn't like italian shoes?
Or the front left tire.

After cleaning my glasses, the quote "Let's go write a swimming poo" made far more sense.

I have those problems. My grammer stands behind me and yells "why didn't you ever learn to spell?"
Its only an LED lit screen. If it were actually OLED, it would be highly sought after, considering Sony is selling an 11" OLED display for $2500.
So do intelligence, jumbo and advanced.
