i’m not clicking on a reddit link so this assertion may be wrong, but i don’t think the case in the OP has anything to do with trump?

makes sense. after all, the united kingdom + a lot of rain + an affinity for Ecstasy = UK-Rain-E.

but, hey, we have this super-mega toy that can hallucinate an answer to your esoteric questions for that price!

that’s got to be a bargain, yes?

i think that milestone has already been achieved – at least in terms of the expected quality of the final manuscript.

have you read the da vinci code?

yep, it wasn’t just a plain tiff.

double-negatives in the headline means a positive article.

in many ways, yes evidently. but there’s something additional at the end of this story which transcends those legends.

but thanks for the link. live and learn!

High Citadel was the first of his books that i read and i was hooked immediately. from the crash landing to the riverside standoff to the trek across the andes to the ultimate jet dogfight - it’s just one rollercoaster dip after another.

and the guerrilla tactics were something else altogether. especially the building of the crossbows and the trebuchet as well as the crash caused by the cable spool.

i’d still place Vivero Letter, Snow Tiger, and a couple of others above it but it’s miles ahead of Juggernaut, Wyatt’s Hurricane, and the weird one about some inheritance.

i can’t recommend the novel “The Vivero Letter” by Desmond Bagley enough when it comes to the subject of lost mayan cities.

as with his other novels, the research that he showcases in his narrative is nothing short of impressive – especially considering that he was active at a time without the internet.

it’s definitely one of his better books.

the ones i play most often are Forkyz and Simon Tatham’s Puzzles.

what, you want 47 more shades of grey? that’ll kinda contradict the OP, though.

given his choice of weapon, i’m surprised he didn’t “stop!”.

well, that and maybe because it does help us communicate with all the aurally challenged people around us.

… and most of the rest of us are in obtuse poverty.

Tai-two.

she came into the manger, way overdue,

and plonked herself down next to the ewe.

then – leaning back on the cow –

immaculately embirth winnie the pooh.

all that’s fine and good, but one just needs to see your username to fathom what could potentially go wrong.

someone misunderstood the way in which a pen is mightier than the sword.

Finally, Microsoft combats a previous concern about Recall taking screenshots of, for example, your online banking site and perhaps sensitive financial info – the feature now filters out things like passwords, credit card numbers and so on.

but to “filter”, it needs to see what it’s filtering, right? how are concerns allayed here?

it’s like saying, “i’ll just peek at you when you’re showering but – cross my heart and hope to die – i won’t fap to that mental picture later.”

wait, their boss is called M. Burns?!

do they also have a H. Simpson on the rolls?
