The app isn’t exactly optimised for finding content. There’s a lot on there, but it always takes me a while to figure out which submenu gives me the goodies.

I doesn’t sound like it’s parents objecting to these books.

The Valar had fought a much earlier, much more cataclysmic war with Melkor in Middle-earth called the First War with Melkor, and there was also the War of the Powers during the Years of the Trees.

And the Eagles joined the Battle of the Black Gate before the Ring was destroyed. It was only a matter of minutes, but it still happened earlier.

How many hands do you have?

If you put that book in a kindergarten library, I can guarantee none of the kids will read it.

The only two reasons not to have it are 1) budget and 2) space. Use the room and money for books the kids will read.

I’ve worked in school libraries.

The funny thing is that kids will only read things that are of interest to them, and if they’re interested in it, they’re old enough to read it. If they borrow it because they like the cover or all their friends have apparently read it or some such reason, you can be assured it’ll be returned after they get through the first page.

In Australia the coal and gas industries appear to be pushing nuclear quite hard, mainly because they distract from the renewable options preferred by the market. They know that while we’re arguing over literally every other power source, they can just keep burning holes in the ground.

Those people were already voting for him. No one is saying, ‘Oh no, they just found a criminal guilty of a crime! That’s not the American way!’

Well, a few billionaires and their SCOTUS lackeys might, but we’ll see.

Why? There aren’t too many undecided voters who will suddenly decide, ‘Hey, he’s definitely a criminal, so I might just give him my vote.’

And anyone who doesn’t think he’s guilty was already going to vote for him anyway.

What happened when Trump’s lawyers brought that up in cross examination?

I’m not sure I completely agree with the number-line-only approach, but I’m definitely sympathetic to it. It reinforces the idea that fractions are numbers like any other numbers, and not pieces of pizza.

Damn, she must have crumbled when Trump’s lawyers brought that up when cross-examining her. As far as the jury is concerned, that would be game over for the prosecution.

Trump’s lawyers did bring that up, didn’t they?
