The State/County/City balance of authority in Texas is biased far more toward Counties than in any other state. They have 4x more counties than more populous California and over 10x more than larger Alaska. It reads to me like any

Hopefully on the dusk terminator and not the dawn terminator? If a mechanical problem slows you down would we rather see it start getting colder, or hotter as we work on correcting it?

It was a rather level, dry and solid critique, I don't think any well-adjusted person would consider it insulting.

Not my theory. I didn't initially suggest it, I don't believe it, I don't even like it. I certainly made no demands. A hypothesis doesn't require evidence. Others have made some strong points toward falsifying the hypoth

If you use Hanlon's Razor in criminal investigations, most criminals are going to walk. Most thieves don't hold equity or title to the structures they're stealing from. It's dubious to imply the people working in that wa

I'm saying it would be premature to discount the possibility. A low-level dock supervisor could have been peddling this stuff for years, got spooked, and decided to cover his tracks, perhaps underestimating the size of the explosion, a

Are you suggesting it's unthinkable that someone would burn down a crime scene? It happens a lot. Crime concealment consistently places among the top 6 motives in studies of arson. I'm not saying it's a very likely cause, but

Hops outside of beer is toxic to dogs, it causes malignant hyperthermia. It's a problem for brewers who leave their hops where the dog can get at them (usually spent hops in the trash or a compost heap). Beer brewed from hops doesn

That's a short-sighted take. The presence of a union completely changes staffing decisions. If hiring his parents would be profitable, the owners are out of luck because they are fully staffed with worse performers who are protected.

You're calling on examples of strongly-pedigreed, well-informed. very slight game variations, and claiming they're equivalent with a whole-cloth supposition of the rules based on nothing but an examination of the board and pieces.

You'd be playing a variant that directly evolved from pinochle. There's an undeniable lineage there. If you reverse-engineered your own rules from scratch knowing nothing but what a deck of cards looked like, it would be silly to

Agreed, I couched my correction with "so far" because it wouldn't surprise me a bit if the OS eventually begins enforcing it, or if it already does and they've been misleading.

The OS doesn't care, Microsoft does. All indications so far are that it's enforced contractually, not by the software itself. This is just a concession that must be made before you're permitted to pre-install Windows for your
