I do remember some of the older CYOA books being 'difficult' in the sense that the main character would die gruesomely in all but one path... I recall one where I actually flipped through until I found something past what I'd found and worked my way backwards to find what branch ended there. Nowadays I suppose there's a wiki somewhere with them diagramed out.
You can hang out and watch the staff at the retail places fold or rehang the clothes from the dressing room and put them back on the rack if you like... they don't launder them first.
If I read it correctly, the whole idea is that if you like a shirt, you order the range of applicable sizes and send back the ones that don't fit. Something that would be hard retail, but perhaps doable with their logistics, might be to have even casual clothes sold by measurement like dress clothes. Then you'd be more likely to get the proper fit in one try.
You wouldn't think so but plenty of people have their head in the sand about the impacts of the changing climate. As you point out, it should be fairly obvious that there will be lots of societal upheavals and suffering.
If you cook the pork you kill the parasite, so I'm not sure you'll find many places where it is easy to find an endemic parasitism in a broad human population. In modern times it is more like getting salmonella but it sticks around longer.
No, that's not what it said. It just said that after around 3/4s of it was damaged or killed that it might be slowing. That's still pretty bad, just not quite 'coral is going to go extinct'. As you note, it is unlikely that coral will go extinct, but if its range ends up limited to 1/4 of what it used to be it will certainly be more vulnerable and there will be biosphere effects.
We're definitely apex predators in that sense. We eat animals and are not regularly preyed upon. A bear is also an apex predator despite being omnivorous and potentially irregularly preyed upon. That we eat crops in addition to livestock doesn't make us immune to climate change. Crop failures in some regions may simply mean eating less desirable food, but in others could mean land isn't arable any longer. This would then require migration or starvation.
I have trouble seeing the CBS All Access thing succeeding, but if it is on Netflix worldwide then it'll at least have good international numbers and hopefully the old seasons will pop up on Netflix here within a year or so.
We bought something at Sears the other day (shocking, I know) and they had redone their pickup area with a computer to scan the email barcode and a timer would start where the person had 5 minutes to bring the package out (she took 2). I was pretty impressed versus the first (and last) time I tried to do this at Best Buy where the item was not ready for pickup, despite the email stating it was, and they had to run around and ended up finding an open box item of similar type they discounted further in recompense. It would have been faster and as accurate to give my children a sketch of the item in crayon and send them wandering throughout the store. They'll probably go out of business anyway but the way Sears did it was the best I've seen so far.
Agreed... if the measures to prevent it were effective, they'd be onerous for legit users, and hurt subscriber numbers. It is surely not worth the support costs to deal with someone traveling on business getting locked out because their spouse at home is also streaming versus just ignoring it. Especially with no advertisers and lots of original content they can do whatever they like.
Yeah I don't enforce a monoculture... I leave the clover and random grasses alone, but the dandelions will crowd out the other plants and then encourage erosion in my yard if I don't thin them out. So I've been pulling them lately instead of spraying, and it has worked very well. Your post does make me laugh a little to myself thinking about the pest control guys that come door to door, advising that I contract them because a neighbor had carpenter bees and I clearly have spiders. That the latter probably discourage the former in a way that doesn't involve intentionally covering my house in poison wouldn't make a good selling point.
Oh no, I had relatives vehemently defending the authenticity of satire articles on Facebook last election, let alone the dross propaganda articles. These people have already dismissed the mainstream media.
Just based on how it works it'd be hard to se how it would work for lawn weeds even if it could recognize them. You can't just go to town on your dandelions with a line trimmer without tearing up the grass. I have found that if you get tired of spraying that 'stand up weeders' or 'grandpa's weeder' type tools work very well on dandelions and thistles.
Maybe.... my wife's new vehicle comes with 3G internet built-in... there are dubious for-pay features, but even if you don't pay, they're apparently required to give you free 911 and Assistance calling. She's not asked me to look into disabling it, but it isn't hard to imagine that (even if it isn't the case now) it'd be considered safety equipment and be illegal to disable.
The folks who feel militant about an errant "S" at the end of Lego may be technically correct but they're certainly not worth apologizing to for their pedantry. You should have tried to convince him it was correct in French instead just to mess with him.
I've been following this with some interest, as my dad's been using e-cigs to stop smoking, slowly lowering his amount of nicotine. Prima facie it seems sensible to expect it to be healthier not to inhale smoke from random burning stuff compared to a vapor. The only people I know who use e-cigs are people trying to quit regular cigarettes so I'm not sure what the overall demographics are. The only 'young people' I know who smoke are into a hipster style cigar trend, not daily smokers.
It has been fun seeing both sides with my children: they love building from the instructions, and then in a few weeks it becomes something else entirely.
That kind of depends on how the government enforces law regarding the crytocurrency, though, doesn't it? If you steal my money from the bank, the law gets involved. If you steal my bitcoins, do they care? If they don't, why would I store my wealth in bitcoins instead of dollars? If they do care, well then it is going to end up as taxed and encumbered as the dollar is.
Yeah but you can use gold for things, even post-apocalypse. Paper money is at least paper... Bitcoin is even more ephemeral than my electronic dollars at the bank.

Do they also try to contact the webmaster and warn them that all their HIPA data is web accessible?
Width, sure, but thicknessing a 2x6 on a construction site table saw would be more harrowing than just running them through a lunchbox planer.

Ah, well along those lines I'd assume that with careful selection you could raise a dog on a vegetarian diet, but a dog is still an omnivore.
Yes, the Prime stuff is lining up to compete with warehouse stores a la Costco or Sam's Club.

It is infuriating how much spillage is caused by the modern can designs..

Well, yes, it is the inconsistency that is frustrating.
