I know FIFA is corrupt but does anyone not see how dangerous traveling to the United States currently is?

You linked the same article from the post.

I played education games on a Apple II in 1998; I was in the first grade.

This type of advertising isn’t new. There is that famous (although the claims from the father have been questioned) New York Times article written by Charles Duhigg in 2012. A father of a teenage girl in Minnesota got upset for receiving coupons from Target for infant care related products. As the story goes, he later learned his daughter was in fact pregnant. It turns out Target was using some predictive algorithm to identify would-be mothers and straight up sending them coupons for infant care products. It seems ever since this article was published that they stopped doing this in such a direct manner. Again, there have people who questioned the validity of the claims for this specific story, but Target did confirm they were doing this.

Speaking of… Look at the cover. There is a Wells blurb.

You should read the duology (I’ve only read the first book) Monk and Robot, which is solopunk. The premise is that robots got tired of doing what they were built for, and decided to form a treaty with humans allowing them to wonder into the wild and live without human contact.

The video states the names are pseudonymous. So the answer would be, no.

You are spreading out a thin layer of dough and is rolled into small balls that get shaped into cubes. Unless you want super think cubes and less in a batch. The recipe estimates you get 2 dozen in a single batch.

EDIT: You want a somewhat dense 3D shape.

I’m sure they looked at Indian government and figured since they routinely discriminate the Muslim population he was in the clear.

 

I am looking for suggestions on how to tackle a large reading list (currently at 556). A big part (maybe smaller than I think) is a collection of Ann Rule, Stephen King and Star Trek novels (currently just the Pocket TOS and movie novelizations). The way I go about things is to just read whatever I am in the mood for. Makes it hard for me to keep a consistent reading progression. I do read by publication date.

I want to hear how others pick what to read. My current idea is to take a chunk of one selection and alternate with others in between.

 

On version 1.3.3, when adding an image to a comment without any existing text, the app crashes. If text is placed in the comment field, image being added will upload successfully with no crash.

 

Jessica Huang from Fresh off the Boat TV series, said this in response to Honey quoting the movie. I totally feel the same way.
