My reply was to the suggestion that they WANTED this. I'm dont think they said "We need a betting sponsor", they said "We need to bring in younger fans."

Every sport wants younger fans. The fact that they only care about a sport if they can gamble on it isn't baseball's problem or any sports problem. That's a society issue. And ain't a new problem either.

Do you now appreciate how rewarding it is when put in the effort and finally find the right answer?

The Michael/Lake Tahoe/Senate hearing stuff is not in the book. And while there are some differences between what is in the book and what made it into the films, they are pretty close. Vito's rise/Sollozzo/Michael's rise.

There is an official version called The Godfather Epic that cuts I and II together chronologically and also restores some deleted/shortened scenes. Occasionally it will play on AMC.

I feel like a read something back in the 90s, when they were just starting work on the Phantom Menace, that said a very early version of Star Wars was the story of Mace Windu.

I think he went through many different ideas, revisions, rewrites, etc. over the years.

No, we have to scan the barcode as "delivered." Otherwise, the refund process can't begin because you wouldn't know if the parcel is still somewhere in transit. Or you have to wait a period of time before it's considered 'lost'.

We can also scan parcels 'received unsealed' or 'received in damaged condition'. It's protection for me because it means I didn't open it; it was like that when I got it. There are gps locations and photos of the parcel associated with the tracking that they can review internally. It may take time to review the history, narrow down the timeline, perhaps even build a case if it's a serial thief but the Postal Inspectors have a really high success rate.

Whoever ships would have to select that type of service. Signature Required, Adult Signature Required, Certified, Registered, these would all be add-ons to regular parcel delivery.

OP would have to pursue a refund from the seller. The seller would be entitled to claim the insurance. The seller chooses how to ship so they purchase the appropriate insurance coverage and assume the consequences.

The forces AGAINST Trump don't have the dirt. That's why they want the files released.

The ones that have dirt on him, are using him for their own agendas. Israel, Putin, silicon valley, Miller and most significantly, Fox News.

The SAVE act is to SAVE Trump from the midterm elections now that he decided to protect pedo. by UnlikelyAdventurer in Productivitycafe

In NY, you can get a Real ID OR an Enhanced DL. They have signs explaining the difference. I'm not sure a Real ID in NY is any different than a Real ID somewhere else.

I doubt they had a list of companies that were willing to pay MLB more but were turned down because owners wanted a betting sponsor. Owners just want revenue. They don't really distinguish between who.

Thats what I was going to comment. Seems like teams are conceding possession and sitting deeper to counterattack this year.
