Or in the actual writing of a book, for that matter.

100% discount outside of peak hours. That's a small, but quite important difference.

Actual 100% discount is €399,95/month.

Do minors drink less than they would if we allowed (or even encouraged) them to drink or use drugs?

This clippy white-washing is annoying as hell. Just like clipppy was.

Or more likely, they set up a temporary redirect 7 years ago thinking 'oh we need some time to figure it out', and promptly forgot about it.

I mean, even then you're growing it from chemicals. Unless you're straight up converting energy to matter (in which case, it would be kind of odd the first practical application they think of is making colors).

Trying to get the English name for the country to include a letter that does not exist in English is just the kind of trolling we've grown to expect.

>which is Google's primary product

Which used to be Google's primary product, way waaaay back when. Their primary product now is advertising, and has been for a very long time.

Neat idea. But also, somebody's definitely going to take some kind of inappropriate picture just as the charge runs out, and will be stuck with it at the worst time. And somehow this makes it even better.

And by 'pay more' he means 'buy more US weapons'. NATO is a conveniently captive market for the US arms manufacturers, and no way they're going to want to pull out of that while they still have stock to sell.

> To my knowledge this isn't recognized anywhere as a disability (though it is associated with a standard diagnosis)

I have the same issue, and I strongly suspect it has to do with my ADHD. I absolutely hate ads in pretty much all forms.

> But, just as much, the dead do deserve our attention and respect.

They do in a way, but don't fool yourself that it's actually about the individual dead. It's about humanity in general, and the contribution – good, bad, or meaningless – that every single human life has made to our collective existence. It's good that we admire rainbows, but that doesn't mean we should revere every droplet of water.

> The dignity of a person doesn’t cease when they are dead.

It doesn't 'cease' inasmuch as it becomes a meaningless term. The dead don't have dignity, they are no longer people. It's the memories of the dead have dignity. Those memories are not a part of the dead, they are a part of the living that remember them.
