Honestly sounds like a great idea. MCTS is so necessary for so many people, and it feels like it's constantly existentially threatened. Anything to mature the system is good in my book.

Kettle cooked, salt and vinegar, brand is secondary, but I'm partial to Kruncher's

Arizer Air Max. Love the thing. Love packing one of the pods beforehand and just having it ready to go.

I have not suffered from insect-phobia myself, but I HAVE dealt with some other phobias. I think the thing that helped me is specifically understanding what it is that scares you about insects, and try exposure slowly.

For example, if you're afraid of wasps, but not afraid of, say ladybugs; what is the difference in your mind? Is it flying bugs? Crawling bugs? Is it legs?

Once you break that down, expose yourself to a bug that scares you the least, and over time you may find that "scary" feature isn't so big.

I fear you're giving them too much credit.

I hear this often, and I fail to understand why anyone would need to defend male circumcision in the first place. Why must we continue to perform male circumcision and ban female circumcision? Couldn't both just be banned?

I agree it was stupid. I just know that media companies are foaming at the mouth to use this decision to destroy online lending all together. And many writers are being tricked into thinking this will somehow help them. It won't. This will help Amazon. People renting your book from the internet archive is not why you're failing to make money.

I hope all the writers who support this lawsuit understand that they are contributing to a long standing effort to outlaw libraries in general. Nobody makes direct money off of sharing things. Get ready for DRM involved in every single thing that you do.

I really hope WI Dems play hardball with these facists. Being "the adult in the room" got us Trump. It's time for a proactive strategy.
