It also offers a unique insight into the minds of people of this era with the reference to the megalosaurus. Bleak House was written roughly two decades after the discovery of dinosaurs and the popular lore that had developed around them was that they had died in the biblical flood. So Bleak House' reference to it being almost as if the flood waters had recently receded, followed by how easy it could be to imagine the dinosaur waddling up Holborn Hill like an elephantine lizard shows us that ordinary Victorians had enough of an interest in dinosaurs for them to flit into their heads on miserable days, and it shows us popular presumption about them. It's a really interesting tidbit about the period that would otherwise be lost.
Some 12 monkeys styled psycho has been breeding lone star ticks. I think one dude has already been caught releasing them.
There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'reload.' -- The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries #37
What plague would that spread? Wasn't there some tick spread bioweapon that makes people allergic to meat? I could see those psychopaths trying to fix the "meat problem" by just making everyone violently allergic to it.
Companies often don't give 40 hours a week anymore. Anything over 32 requires they provide insurance, so they cap their staff at 32 + whatever free work they can force them to do without clocking in.
You are for some reason operating from a perspective that nobody is allowed to do anything until the law authorizes it, but the opposite is true: there is no law that says we cannot bomb pirates in the sea, and no force that is stopping us, therefore we can do it and it's legal. "International law" is a polite fiction and 100% reliant on the grace of the people with the power to uphold it, which happens to be us in this case, and all this is moot anyway because blowing up pirates in the open sea is explicitly allowed under international treaties
I was a Primary Phonics guy, but yeah even by 80s elementary I was the freak because I could read in a functional way
wtf now I hate being against dual citizenship?
English majors who cannot decipher Dickens should be made to read A Pickle for the Knowing Ones until they learn from their mistakes.
Little concerning that this guy thinks the 1st place is work and the 2nd place is the home or place of residence.
children yearn for the mines, why can't you get on the trolley?
Aaaaaaand, predictably, the judge has now also granted the motion to speed up proceedings on All The Things again. Defendants have two days now to respond to All The Things, plaintiffs will reply Monday, and then the Big Hearing of All Hearings will occur on Tuesday (wherein also, presumably "the merits" will finally see their day in court).

I think there is a bit of 28 in effect here too. "If the price of collateral damage is high enough, you might be able to get paid for bringing ammunition home with you."
It's that. The meat thing, Fatpaks was talking about. Some vegan biology major got busted trying to release a bunch of them I think in the north east US.
Think of the poor Hellfire missiles.
It's why the USA is the global hegemon. We kill pirates. Have done.
Imagine being the guy at the printer in 1700s arranging the type face for this book.
The union lawyers are expected to file their hysterical replies on Monday, and then the Big Hearing Covering Everything will commence on Tuesday, at which time the judge will undoubtedly ignore everything the admin lawyers have to say and declare that "everything [the union lawyer] just said is what I'm ruling," as she literally did in the last hearing, and that nobody can be fired no matter what.
