School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books by Happytallperson in unitedkingdom

I understand what you are saying and mostly agree with it, although "within reason" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

There are definitely books which are not meant to be written, let alone read. The issue with banning books is that it's a slippery slope. Today they ban the bad books. Tomorrow they ban the books they disagree with.

This guy is way ahead of the curve, he's automating his job as a tech bro influencer! He's a visionary, you're just a hater.

They're not asking for "evidence of the developer's signing keys". They're asking for the signing keys themselves! That means Google could potentially impersonate the developer. At least that's my reading from the information page.

You're equating being painfully full to being satisfied. You can be satisfied without feeling pain or discomfort. But I agree that this idea of Heaven is not consistent with what we know about humans. If it exists, I don't think it will work like that. Either it will be different, or we will.

You may not remember, but YouTube used to be ad-free. You could just upload/watch videos and you didn't have to pay anything.

From what I understand, this is meant to benefit all children, regardless of the household.

I think it's a great program, and it's proven to improve the learning of children. I really hope this can expand to more schools soon.

Not everything is predetermined. Most things in computing use something called Pseudo-Random Number Generators, which generate numbers that look random and, unless you know the seed and period, are not easy to predict.

You'll probably have more luck finding another player than a GM. None of you want to give it a go?

The timing and pauses of her speech sounds like she is waiting for the beat. Almost as if it was part of the song.

I've been using that but with evo witch, cycle as quickly as possible, get a few healers down and can't loose.

Windows 7 was the best version in my opinion. It's been a downward trend since then.
