So from the article, I think he is a real farmer that wants the farm to fail so he can carve it up with the other guy trying to stop the project, because they have the ones next door; I did notice the law firm they are using seem to specialize in stopping environmental projects like this
France sort of has already with Leon Blum, since the Prime Minister was more important in the Third Republic
Some were for beef which were just done because the demand wasn’t there anymore and some are going to new plants in Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky; Little Rock and NW AR doesn’t have that kind of workforce for it anymore
It’s neither here nor there but right after Sanders pushed through the rules, Tyson started closing the major meat packing plants and moving them out of state; her new push is computer chip plants, crypto, and lithium mining
I watched it in real time and I don't think there was one year I would rank it as bad, it's just they were on another level at first, I think its that NBC killed the momentum to a degree that was going to happen eventually but could have been extended a bit
If you have a way to play DVDs, they are still in print and libraries might have the full run
Music issues limited it to physical discs and reruns for a long time but it should be in theory coming to streaming soon; the first few seasons, before NBC forced a retooling are among the best network TV of the era, and while it never hit that high again, it stayed very strong
yeah, it was from the book Homicide and was first used in the TV show Homicide before they reused it, for The Wire
That is one of the more interesting currents of Caro's LBJ books, is that he is the arc of the rise and fall of white liberal politics in the south and that part of his gift was making the New Dealers and the conservatives think he was one of them
And to your literal example, my undergrad year in and out is a top 5 in having students go on to STEM PhDs and also encourages everyone to take underwater basket weaving as well

Starting next month all new cars sold in the EU must contain technology to automatically slow down when you are speeding unless you manually override it
As long as they make their mortgage payments, they can generally get away with a lot, where it can get ugly is if they somehow trigger something with the IRS, or when they eventually run out of cash and the local US Attorney's office looks into their mortgage ponzi scheme
This kind of bit the Portland NBA team when they were looking at moving a decade ago, they had split up ownership of the team, the arena, etc. into different companies, and in the complication of the structure, it kept them from moving because of how the different internal contracts all overlapped
Did it change at all when you moved from places like TDB and Slate to the NYT? I am just curious if the "oldness" of the publication influences how people see writers there
I remember the radio station change overs during that time and why it was so weird with the Limp Bizkit payola thing, that it felt like there was no need for it, the local stations that had some diversity of sound were becoming all hard rock/nu metal all the time anyway
I had a former employer let me go 13 days before my raise was supposed to kick in try to rehire me 5 months later, but at my old pay scale; that was a hard no; I took a lot of satisfaction in them going under as a company the next year
The impression I got was that it was more of a thing of where the money was going; she didn't rock the boat on that Scott did
I not a local but I do have friends around there that had told me all the money was going to Dixon; David Smith (Sinclair, The Sun) has a PAC for her and most older elected officials except for the Senators endorsed her
Given you can make backup copies of yourself and bring back old ones later via a transporter, how exactly does someone really stay dead? Everyone could have regular backups made and if something happens they just have their estate bring out the backup

Midwest and West Coast are two different grids, the Rocky Mountains divide the Western and Eastern power grid (except for Texas, which has its own to avoid Federal oversight)
Also, like multiple Marvel movies even did fine lately, Spider-Man: NWH, Black Panther: WF, and GotG Vol. 3 all did good to great; if they make good movies and/or movies with popular actors or one of the small no. of characters people care about (Spider-Man for Marv., Batman for WB), people show up
speaking from experience, it's more the other way around in ease, handwriting is harder with a dip pen because you have to lift it from the paper more often; fountain pens/ballpoints/etc. make it easier to do handwriting because they have the ink inside the pen so you don't have to do that
Handwriting is for uniform readable print; ballpoint pens and fountain pens are very close in their production dates; Waterman made the first viable mass produced fountain pen in 1884; the first ballpoint was patented in 3 years later and made popular for WWII pilots; plus pencils are a thing
There is a real "game" (?) to play of watching a cut of the intros of network shows that launched in a given year during the pre-streaming era and maybe 1-3 shows a year lasts more than a season and its normally not because a ton of shows were cancelled too soon gems
A big changes in policing after the 1960's was a shift to dealing with protests with less force and working with the leaders, which reduced violence and drew less attention to excess policing - post 9/11 with police going more military, they threw that all out the window, and that happened here
When Trump tried this Oracle and Microsoft were the two potential buyers at the time. FT tried to figure out the value last month, and its a little tricky since it would be a forced sale and probably just the US users but it might "only" be $88B www.ft.com/content/a1eb...
It has been Disney's problem for about 25 years; they are good at buying hit machines and getting them to to yield maximum return before trend is over but they struggle to have in house original hits; even Pirates ended some time ago
It was the mistake of thinking the brand was strong enough to also sustain Disney+ be a big as cable thanks to the MCU/Star Wars/Pixar, all of which suffered through over production at the same time
