There are massive differences in biochemistry, physiology and neurology in almost every area between racial groups, including brain size, skeletal structure, biochemistry, genetics, eye color, skin color, and so on, for instance Caucasians are the only racial group where most adults can digest Lactose, and this is clearly due to tens of thousands of years of divergent evolution that caused some races in cold climates to develop higher IQ and larger brain capacity.
So, are run-on sentences a racially based thing, or is that just you?
IOW, try to avoid big blocks of text - shorter sentences and paragraph structures make things easier to read, and more likely to be read.
Be even more interesting to find out how many people don't bother fertilizing their lawns.
Me for instance.
I can think of one of my neighbors who fertilize their flower beds (not their whole lawns), but the rest of us might toss in some weedkiller every few years (or not), and otherwise let it grow...
To go further down that road: All assets are immediately turned over to the government and used to fund cleanup and mitigation. The government becomes the most preferred creditor.
So, the shareholders, eh? People whose 401k's include some of that stock, that sort of thing?
furthermore, WHAT THE FUCKING KIND OF RULE IS THAT!?!? shouldn't the organizer of the event -any event- get to choose if it can be broadcast or not, since aren't they in control of the copyright of the recording????
Ummm...for NFL games, the NFL is the organizer of the event, and get to choose whether it can be broadcast or not.
Assume 300 new jobs, paying an average of $50K per annum each. Sales tax + income tax on that will be somewhere north of $1M per year (guesstimating sales tax and income tax based on LA's tax rates - too lazy to look up TX's numbers this AM).
And that's ignoring other taxes that might apply, tourism dollars (hell, *I* might go there once it's operational), etc.
What advantage could this site possibly have over Cape Canaveral?
1) don't have to worry about launch schedule conflicts when you're the only people launching at the site. Do remember the number of delays that SpaceX (and everyone else) has to deal with at Canaveral - you have a minor glitch, scrub your scheduled launch, spend two days fixing if, then have to wait weeks to launch again because someone else is launching in the meantime.
2) Much lower probability of the government deciding it needs your launch site for its own launches and putting you out of business...
I'm asking more about what happens to DRM'd content that was purchased from Sony's ebook store now that Sony is pulling out (e.g. authorization servers).
Get Calibre, strip the DRM from all your Sony content, done.
Note that that's what I did when I had a -505. Stripped the DRM from everything I bought, converted it to ePub format, and used it in that format.
Now that my 505 has gone away, I use a Nook, and still strip the DRM with Calibre so I can load unencrypted ePubs....
Their monthly rates are attractively low, but they do their absolute best to _insist_ that you buy a new phone from them instead of migrating your old phone, and their sales people do their level best to discount even the _possibility_ of such an option.
Not the experience I had talking to a T-Mobile guy a few months back. Showed them my old phone, they told me to get it unlocked by my old carrier, and they'd be good to go....
but calling any of them "legitimate" is shilling so hard you could pence a crown.
I'm trying to figure out the source of the expression "pence a crown" (old British money, obviously, but I'm missing something), and wondering whether the use of "shilling" earlier in the sentence was an intentional or unintentional play on words re:"pence a crown"....
Would you be more or less inclined to put your money into a company whose seemingly sole focus is profit?
Note that "profit" is misleading in this context. What they seem to mean, based on TFA is "income" or "revenue".
Admittedly, income generates profit (usually. See "loss leader" for an example of income with no profit attached). But they're not synonymous, as any taxman can tell you.
Over the next year, the Hospital and Insurance companies went round and round, churning out bills and checks.
In one case, the insurance company needed some information from the hospital to process the claim. SNAFU at the hospital left the insurance company without the info for about six months.
Soooo, the hospital sent the bill to a collection agency, which started sending me letters demanding payment. I was, therefore, among the 35%.
The next month, the hospital sent the info to the insurance company, the insurance company cut a check, and the collections agency sent me a "never mind" letter.
So, I never really had any overdue debt, but I would have counted under the methodology of this article as part of the 35%.
Which leads me to wonder what fraction of the 35% might have had debts referred mistakenly to collection agencies....
I find this interesting, since as head of the Executive Branch, he can order the NSA to do what this bill requires without bothering with a law, since no law exists requiring the NSA to collect telephone records on everyone.
And if such a law existed, it would be pretty clearly unconstitutional, and thus null and void....
The laws should be identical to the extent possible, between different forms of currency.
So, your average C-Store should be required by law to accept Japanese Yen or the Sudanese Pound?
That aside, doesn't the Federal Government get to decide what's money and what's not? Didn't think it was the business of State governments to be regulating money....

IN dogs, cats, horses, and cows, we call them "breeds". Means the same thing - a collection of common traits....

Does the phrase "M1A1 Abrams" have any meaning for you?
Hint: the Abrams gun is a 120mm smoothbore. It's probably the most accurate tank gun in current use.
So, the shareholders, eh? People whose 401k's include some of that stock, that sort of thing?
Ummm...for NFL games, the NFL is the organizer of the event, and get to choose whether it can be broadcast or not.
So, what exactly is your problem with the rule?
Hmm, 1.3 billion cubic km of ocean, at 3 ppb uranium naturally...
So, the ocean has, as a matter of course, ~4 billion tons of uranium, of which 0.72% is U-235. So 28,000,000 tons of U-235 in the ocean naturally.
So, if the reactor in question had a MILLION TONS of fuel (trust me, it didn't), it increased the natural radioactivity on the oceans by less than 4%.
A more realistic number would be 0.001% for the increase.
And even that number is a generous overestimate.
Are they planning to use the nuclear explosives that we once considered using to cut a sea-level canal through Nicaragua?
"The true test of another man's intelligence is how much he agrees with you"
Or a short story. Maybe Ray Bradbury could write it, if he were still alive....
Note that this has been a common belief for the last 50 years or so.
Arguably, it's been a common belief for the last century....
Tongue in cheek.
Again, try to avoid writing things you've never seen written. It frequently makes you look like you're illiterate.
Just so.

Which, presumably, is why OP mentioned CONTINENTAL United States.
Note also that "most southernmost" is redundant. You don't want to be referred to the Department of Redundancy Department, do you?

Well, limitless for the twelve hours per day the sun is visible to a station in LEO.
No, polar orbit doesn't give you 24-hour a day sunlight. It just makes for lots of delta-V to reach orbit.
Not the experience I had talking to a T-Mobile guy a few months back. Showed them my old phone, they told me to get it unlocked by my old carrier, and they'd be good to go....
Seems to me a lot of jobs were lost when we gave up on horse-drawn carriages also.
So, should we be required to keep professional drivers employed in spite of the job being completely pointless in a few years to a decade?
US Constitution, Article 3, Section 3.
Learn it, love it, live it.
FYI, treason is defined there, and the definition is EXTREMELY narrow. No, nothing the CIA has admitted to doing qualifies.
