Have you destroyed the hole factory yet?

Also are you upgrading all belts or only upgrading them to deliver exactly the material amounts you need?

You are welcome.

I can definitely get on board with this strategy, although I usually try to buy hard copies of the authors who are still kicking and writing.

Check out annas-archive.org to get digital backups of books you already own that may be otherwise protected by drm. Definitely don't use it to pirate books. Piracy is bad.

Edit:

Also you can use calibre to manage your book library outside of various large book providers.

It's been a minute since I've read the books, so feel free to correct me, but doesnt Gandalf ask Aragorn to find Gollum after Bilbo's birthday? Then they imprison him with the elves who feel pity for him and let him climb a tree. Then he won't come down or something and gets away.

I assumed this is what the hunt for Gollum is, but I haven't looked at anything to confirm this.

"Precious, it's been called that before..."

My most talented coworker was a contractor that was hired on full time. He has repeatedly said he would never have made it through the hiring process. I think about that a lot.

I just had an involuntary flashback of a host at a restaurant asking if we would like smoking or non smoking. It didn't really matter since the whole place smelled like smoke...

Remember back in 2001 when everyone freaked out at Cheney's age? He was 60. Our "young" potential candidate is 59.
