Definitely. My posting was NOT trolling. This is exactly what happened to Boing. The President spoke out against them, stock dropped, friends of his bought the stock, and then he said, "Great guys, everything's fine." And those friends then sold off the stock and made a bundle.

Yes, there would be a lawsuit against the papers...
"...The alleged harassment continued for months, even after Herrick obtained a temporary restraining order against Grindr that required the company to disable the impersonating profiles."
Grindr was served and did nothing to stop the harassment. The same thing would happen to any newspaper who would continually take ads. And in both accounts the question would be asked...How were the ads being placed?
If it was on a computer or phone then the IP Address should have been flagged. The moment an ad was placed it should have been reviewed and given to law enforcement. Rather than continually publishing the ads as the article implies.
Agreed. I was more than happy with my iPhone 5c. Except the battery was only about 50% available.
Now I have an iPhone SE which continually has problems with Podcasts. (Something which oddly enough always occurs when a model is about to be orphaned.)
Because in the past whale hunting had nothing to do with the meat. And it was disgusting.
Ambergris is a substance in the whale's intestine which was widely used for perfumes. Many whalers would only worry about harvesting this stuff and throw the rest of the whale back in the ocean.
In 2015 a whole whale's estimated value was about $25,000.
According to Wikipedia... "A 1.1-kilogram (2.4 lb) lump of ambergris, found on a beach at Anglesey, Wales, was sold to a French buyer for £11,000 [$14,000] at an auction in Macclesfield, England, on 25 September 2015."...That's about $5,800/lb.
So why weigh down a boat full of meat you have to cut up and refrigerate? When you can just get the ambergris from several whales at once and be done with it.
Our Dollar Tree was put in a building which used to be a smaller supermarket.
Building was still in great condition, parking lot already there.
I'm wondering how many other dollar stores specifically look for these types of locations. It would save them tons of overhead when it comes to opening a new location.
The reason they're cheaper is because they're last years cards. Every year the card companies rotate out the older material. And then sell the warehouse cases to the dollar stores dirt cheap.
Heaven forbid there's a chance your middle/upper class customers commit a faux pas of giving someone a card they got last year? *gasp*

Funny how that worked out.

This is also how so many lobbyists got into Washington.
Because they wanted to buy all the good stuff before everyone else.
Fire is out of this world because you're waiting for it to come from the sky gods.
You should be growing free-range fire yourself. It's a little extra effort but it's non-GMO/hormone.
The misc household items category is always overlooked.
$30 gift card = 30 kitchen items. A perfect present for a couple who are just getting married.
Also, if you're giving one to younger children...all they want is the gift or the cash in the card. A simple 99 cash/gift card holder is good enough.

To me, an agnostic is someone who believes in a higher power which doesn't have a specific dogma attached to it.
Common sense morality should define the rules. Not a group of people interpreting someone else's interpretation.
