Wait until you find out that primer, as in a small tutorial or short teaching material, is pronounced with a short i sound like is found in "fin," "mix," and "fringe."
Primmer.
That one really boiled my noodle recently.
It's not just that we eat "too much" but also that we're eating too much non-nutritive foods. The United States has entirely too many so-called "food deserts" where people are unable to purchase healthy foods
HBO loves doing this with their shows. See also True Detective
That's what kills me. This guy could have lived out the rest of his days banging pornstars and defrauding investors and no one would have raised an eyebrow until the posthumous Netflix documentary, but no, he had to go and accept the most public job in the country.
He chose this.
To be fair though incels are always pissed
I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)
Yeah, fuck EA. Even the Sims 3 which came out in 2009 is still $20 for just the base game. All 19 DLCs are also $20. But wait, you can get the game and all the DLC packaged in a bundle for the low low price of just $190 (on Steam).
Absolutely ridiculous even without considering that you need an EA account to play legitimately which is a whole other pile of crap.
Around $440MM if you throw in the $83MM he owes in that recent defamation suit
The OP is intended to describe FF7 but tbh it also applies to 13, 12, 10 (although you're taking down megareligion instead of megacorporation), and possibly also 8 and 9 which I haven't played but have confirmed with light research that there are furries
He just twirls a few long strands on the top of his head like spaghetti every morning then hair sprays the crap out of it
There are indeed many forms of money laundering which are considered illegal in America, and it is absolutely illegal if someone is accepting funds derived from illicit activity or sanctioned entities (like Russia). The government and most financial institutions generally take the stance that there are very few good reasons to obscure the ultimate source of funds, and so tend to be very risk-averse with such activity.
The trick is in confirming anything illicit is going on when there are potentially dozens of steps and borders in between the source and the recipient.
Caution when using Spotify for audiobooks
Tl;Dr Spotify turned shuffle on after I closed the app then later resumed my listening leaving me wildly confused and possibly with some major spoilers. Check before you resume listening.
I did a longer road trip this weekend and decided it'd be a good time to get through some of the books in my backlog. Unfortunately, not only was I hit with my audiobook listening limit (15 hours per month, apparently), which is not something I remember Spotify advertising very clearly in the app, but also Spotify decided to turn on shuffle on my return trip. Since I was paying attention to the road I honestly thought that perhaps the author had decided to go with a disjointed narrative for the latter half of the book, but when I got home I found that I had inadvertently listened to a few later chapters, and now I'm a little upset about it.
The book was The Luckiest Girl Alive if anyone was curious (honestly the jumpy timeline narrative kind of worked, it was just a little confusing). If you're new to this one, it comes with a pretty big content warning just fyi.
I guess I'll be finishing it next month when I have more listening hours on Spotify.
ELI5: How is Amazon able to sell me books so much cheaper than brick and mortar book stores in my area
I like shopping in book stores. There's something about wandering the aisles and waiting for a book to jump out at you that I can't get shopping online. Unfortunately, whenever I compare the price of a book Amazon has every in-person store beat, often pricing their offerings 30%-50% lower (or around $10/book in my experience) even when I go to a large chain like Barnes and Noble.
How is it that Amazon is able to afford to offer the books so much cheaper and also support all of the infrastructure involved in shipping it to my doorstep compared with in-person stores?
