The Art of the Deal was that the ghost writer got actually writing credit.

The value of the land that the developer bought the land for is in how much money they can make from that. Otherwise, the developer wouldn’t buy the property.

He didn’t even inform Congress before the attack.

Bush spent months trying to convince the world that invading Iraq was justified.

Trump didn’t even do that.

What’s regime change going to do in the long run?

Iran currently has elections which routinely elect pro-nuclear Presidents. Also, changing the government to remove clerical influence doesn’t resolve the Sunni-Shia split in regional politics.

Also, rapid weight loss could cause issues with your gall bladder.

Stewart Hicks noted that a lot of housing being built now are urban studios.

This kind of housing is in very high demand, but it can only really get built in places with decent transit.

The US military has been skittish on regime change since Vietnam, but had a lot of those points reinforced by Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Trump administration is using the military more like Reagan used it, make some quick attacks combined with spy operations and manipulate the chaos to get diplomatic goals achieved. The US doesn’t want to own the rebuilding effort since that is the costly part.

Woo hoo!

The line has been manipulated several times by Parliament, including the selection and elimination of kings.

The point of the royal family now isn’t to be a defined lineage, but an agreed upon vessel to hold power when Parliament temporarily breaks. Even then, Queen Elizabeth II was kind of shit at it.

I’ve seen the work of others.

Any reasonable person would know they are haunted.

I know one engineer who bought the Meta glasses due to the form factor. For others with the Go Pro, they usually mount the cameras on their hard hat, which makes it easy to see since black hard hats are rare.

Eh, you can still read the PRNDL.

I used to be a “save the best for last” kind of person, but that’s changed over time as my total capacity to do certain things has diminished I want to focus first on the stuff I like the most.

I feel like it’s a continuation of what we’ve already seen with digital animation. You can do traditional ink animation, but no one does it any more because digital is so much cheaper.

Not really, mainly due to how the liquid is stored.

I generally think that juice is within the flesh of the fruit that needs to be squeezed out. I can’t drill a hole in a watermelon to drink watermelon juice, but I can drill a hole in a coconut and drink the coconut water.

They tried teaching Spanish in my elementary school with videos that no one paid attention to. A lot of schools don’t even go that far.

Nah. The Federal Government got close to breaking apart his company once for monopolistic behavior and decided that it was too risky to try to compete in new markets like it previously did. That wasn’t in Gates’s style of running Microsoft, so he stepped from day to day operations because he was bored.

But if you’re looking at an American choosing a language based on potential job opportunities, Spanish is likely going to offer far more upside than French unless that American has certain ties which would make French more relevant to them. For large parts of the USA, knowing Spanish will be more locally relevant than knowing French.

It isn’t saying that French is a bad language for Americans to learn, but that most of the country would likely see Spanish as more economically useful.
