Someone I know is slightly mentally challenged, always had trouble at school, but is super precise and methodical. They are now a very valued employee at a forensics lab, doing something that most people are not capable of.

Because more than 30 000 civilians have been killed and more than a million people are experiencing a famine?
Germany defining what it means to be Jewish again.
They have a special responsibility due to their history, but they deal with this crisis with all the gracefulness of a bull in a china shop.
I say to myself while my tears drop into the last instant noodles I could afford this month.
Interesting that you can still see the effects of WWI in the north.
Gotta love big naturals, them tit-ass biggies.
“A political revolution has begon” and “tickets sold out in just two days” don’t really make sense together.
I'm starting to get the feeling that we are both repeating ourselves, but this is not a just a side effect, it is systematic. Turning an idea into property means only capital can play the game. In effect patents do two things: Firstly they inhibits innovation, the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do, this should be ground enough to get rid of them. Second they entrench big players, big players have more money to play the patent game and so tend to win patent fights regardless of merit. So besides not achieving their so called stated goal they also have a huge negative externality. And all this before we even take patent trolls into account.
It is a stupid question to begin with, and it was classy from George to give a straightforward answer, and maybe it would have been more classy to say that Aragorn would have won.
But I don’t understand this antipathy towards George, he wrote some great groundbreaking fantasy novels just as Tolkien, and I’m happy I was able to enjoy both.
