I was thinking of retail availability, not tap. And after thinking a bit more I decided the likely answer is that they didn’t/don’t have enough packaging capacity to do statewide distribution out of the Big Island.

At some point I formed the impression that only Hawaii proper (the Big Island) had actual Hawaii-brewed Kona Beer. That due to the screwiness of island-to-island shipping it was more efficient to ship it from Portland or Seattle to Maui or Oahu instead of the 99% closer Kona.

Alerts would be nice, but they do provide a “Play” button in the DVD queue.

Nobody has ever asked, but my method of reforming the Electoral College while still running the election as a set of independent statewide votes has two simple (but not easy!) components:

Clinton got a 10 point bump (63 -> 73) after the House voted to impeach him (Dec. 19, 1999). The bump faded during the impeachment trial (Jan. 7 - Feb. 12) and being acquitted gave him a mini bump which also didn’t last. Then his approval rating basically settled at 60% for the rest of his term until people started to

The message where he says he lashed out at her because he’s miserable makes that explanation virtually impossible to accept. Other than the “so much cum on your face” message, what is he trying to rationalize?

Hmm, foamy substance, sewers, brewery.......

Yeah, if you go straight to court the other party will likely say something like, “gosh Your Honor, I really want to comply, I just need a little more time.” And judges, who traditionally really hate to involve themselves in inter-branch disputes, will probably allow it.

Splinter should really write or link to a good Contempt of Congress explainer.

The change doesn’t have anything to do with VBR, as far as I can tell. They’re increasing the maximum bitrate for DD+ / Atmos streams to 640 / 768 kbps, although they may have begun doing that last year (for DD+). Maybe they’re adding more intermediate bitrates as well.

“All-American food”:

I think the purpose of Bran warging into the ravens was to lead the Night King back to him.

I’m pretty sure the reason for Bran warging was to tell the Night King where he was. They’ve shown before that he can perceive when nearby animals are being controlled by Bran.

And if that catches on, you’ll get offered a choice of $30 / 1 month; $60 / 4 months;or $120 / 1 year.

Yeah, if you can’t get the prosecutor (U.S. Attorney for D.C.) to present the citation to a grand jury, the judge who might theoretically rule on the case doesn’t matter.

Gas stoves also use a fairly miniscule amount of gas unless you’re doing something really energy intensive like boiling large pots of water.

Letters can be intercepted, phone lines can be tapped. Safes can be picked or drilled into, bank deposit boxes can be subpoenaed. It’s hard to come up with an indecipherable code and even harder to use it with perfect consistency.

I think the topic you’re interested in is “Reactor decomissioning”. Basically, they get the highly radioactive fuel out of there and then wait for a few decades until the rest of the plant decays to a relatively safe level.

The reactors were shut down within minutes of the earthquake, so they were no longer “critical”, but the fuel will be dangerously radioactive for several decades at least. Possibly longer depending on the exact definition of “dangerous”.

According to the post, it doesn’t install anything. It just runs, and updates the system settings according to your desires.
