That’s an interesting take but with our term lengths that means a 15y can vote for president and senator but can’t vote for a house rep.

Soylent if you have one of those shakers should be good enough as is.

Get a prenup if that’s your only issue. Married taxes are better, and being auto beneficiary is also useful (e.g. social security survivors benefits). With the right person insurances and credit score/limit are better. Sometimes just hospital visits require being a relation. Immigration for coming to or going to another country is easier.

Marriage is showing your commitment legally/bureaucratically so that your bond isn’t questioned easily both individuals also gain financial benefits from it.

Isn’t masterchief a lady?

A heck of a lot of people are also trapped by work, family, and just not having time to keep up with all the changes.

Does the podcast still have to be in English? And what topics are you usually interested in?

True but also something that should have been tested for and known before it was upright and fuelled again. I.e. why didn’t safety checks catch the issue(s)?

Women are not the named addressee.

It opened fine for me so I don’t think there’s a paywall.

Because “he’s food motivated, lol” is not the caption of someone who is taking a pet’s obesity seriously.

Please convince your friend to put the poor guy on a diet.

The problem is that you can never be certain about someone’s ability to stand their morals atop money until it is truly offered to them. Supposedly Gaben has turned down Billion dollar offers for steam. It is certainly not every person who will do so and it is hard to know how a person will react until that is truly offered to them. I don’t know that I’d turn it down (though I also don’t know how much Gaben makes).

The social contract exists always. It isn’t a paper contract but a societal consensus about what constitutes acceptable behavior. Gambling joint money without agreement is not socially acceptable behavior. Bypassing a eula/nda for a beta version of a thing and then spreading the info just because you’re legally in the clear is not societally acceptable behavior. It doesn’t matter that it shouldn’t have been so easy to do so or that they won’t face legal consequences.

Valve fucked up but the Verge still broke the social contract regardless of whether they’re legally in the clear or not.

Doing something just because “it’s legal” doesn’t make it a moral justification. My wife and I have a joint bank account. It is legal for me to take money from it and gamble it all away, the gate is “open” but that doesn’t make it morally justifiable.

On an anonymous platform like reddit there’s no verification. Unless you cite what you’re saying one person is as likely an expert as anyone else.

He doesn’t allow those notes on his own posts.

Paperback. I’ve sometimes waited for paperback versions of books after their initial hardcover release. Cheaper, lighter, same reading, I used to be less patient so would suck it up and get the hardcover, nowadays I don’t read as much so waiting is easier. I read a lot when traveling and hardcovers are just such a pain. The only “nice” collection I have is LOTR+hobbit.

I’m trying out an eReader soon but I’m not sure I’ll be able to get away from the desire of physically turning pages.

GTO was/is great.

It’s really all about impact angles and tension. Being passed out you’re not tense and therefore have more “give” on impact, less likely to get that type of major damage. Same reason drunks who crash are often fine while their victims die. Bone is very good at parallel impact, not as good with perpendicular or angled impacts. As a girl bone density is also generally lower which ain’t great in this situation.

More like when he was trying to hold on like at the beginning of the fellowship before Gandalf convinced him to turn it over. Now we just need to figure out who our Frodo is.
