I can’t speak for the perception of Big Army for such things. For boots on the ground, I was always taught that the only safety that mattered was my trigger finger.

I use Sleep for Android. While it is a sleep tracker - which you mention you aren’t focusing on - I only use it as an alarm clock. For reasons.

This was one of my favorite things about DS9 as well. Once the initial distrust and friction between Kira and Sisko wore away, there were fantastic little moments where Kira would ask Sisko for permission to do something odd. Sisko would immediately say yes ... and THEN ask why. It would have been simple to write…

Easily prevented if one of the Genie's first caveats is "No meta-wishing." Then neither of the first two wishes can be granted without the intervention of a meta-genie. :D

Perhaps putting one of these in your tank?

Because Kindle, Steam, and iTunes deal with wholly digital media with no physical representation. If I buy a digital download from XBox Live or PSN, I expect it to be tied to my account. Don't get me wrong — I'd love it if First Sale could be applied to a digital download. (I can even see how it could be done. I…

There is no moral issue with First Sale. You got paid when the original disk got purchased. Do you think Ford should get a cut when you buy a used car? Should Disney get a cut if you decide to sell your Iron Man 2 DVD? Should Hasbro charge for the privilege to give someone your old Monopoly set?

Some books are available for Kindle, but only for UK customers. This is easily remedied. Find a residential UK address. Add it to your account. Make it primary. Buy your Kindle book. Deactivate said address. Done.

The second point is just ridiculous. There is no way that stirring is going to prevent the water from boiling. Even if your spoon is cold every time it goes in and is constantly removing heat from the system, unless its removing more heat than your stove, the water WILL boil.

Which is a great speech, and much better a moment for Eleven than ripping the last page out of a book.

I had to throw out the can when I tried lime. Or silver, or whatever. It is the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth.

No. Pi is pi. It is a mathematical constant. When the Greeks estimated it at 22/7, it didn't become 22/7 - it was still pi. Regardless of what idiots in office may think, you can't legislate math.

So don't look over the jar when you do it. Duh.

"She is too voluptuous" - I am aware of the meanings of each of those words, but when used in concert, I can't wrap my mind around a possible meaning.

I was about to submit this exact comment, word for word, punctuation for punctuation. Well played, sir.

Actually, that's twice a month - 24 payperiods per yer. Bi-weekly is every two weeks - 26 payperiods per year. It may seem like a minor difference - until the months come with 3 paychecks. Then you really do feel rich.

Probably just a typo.

I think the only point on commenting about the parents being living or dead is that it might be significantly more traumatic seeing a dead parent in the mirror than a live one.
