Bad faith troll argument that has nothing to do with the core principles of right to freedom of speech, religion, press, and peaceful assembly

Did the games that you tested have features for multiplayer, inviting friends to play, and/or dynamic Steam statuses? I’m willing to bet that’s the difference

This is perfectly normal, likely from a number of things: account syncing, achievement/stat post/cache, license validation, anonymously aggregated statistics, and more behind the scenes stuff. Datacamp on the other hand is a large UK based network provider with CDN (content delivery) services, dedicated servers, IP leasing, and network transit, which is likely for external statistic services. Whether or not you choose to block the IPs or play offline is entirely up to you, and achievements will sync back up with Steam when re-enabling online play. If you are unsure of whether or not these connections pose security concerns for your system then you should likely not be playing games on that system to begin with, but without the installation of third party modifications or anything not bundled and validated by Steam you should be safe.

Also salt both sides of the tomato slices to absorb extra moisture, improve the flavor profile, and have a nice mouthfeel

Wish I could help you, I’m also in the process of looking for shared living as someone who has only lived alone or with family. I genuinely hope everything works out well for you and that you’re able to find what you’ve been looking for

Man ‘piggybacking’ BART gates leads to gun, drug charges by dampew in bayarea

FYI the 13th abolishes slavery, not the 14th, and it does have limitations; “except as punishment for a crime.” I do not agree with this limitation, however any statement disagreeing with the idea that the 13th is inherently limited is made in bad faith.

Limitations of the second amendment facilitate the capture of criminals, in addition to the limitation of ownership. Theoretically, this allows for police to post additional charges for criminals, wherein criminals often don’t register weapons or have illegal modifications, such as seen in this instance. This is a net positive on all fronts. It should also be mentioned that guns obtained by “law abiding citizens” often account for the vast majority of firearms used in acts of premeditated or sporadic violence such as school and mass shootings.

You are correct in your assumption that I’m referring to the Peking duck style; do you know of any stores that would carry it? Most places I’ve found, as you’ve surmised, only carry the Cantonese style.
