Get a long book, a timeless classic, and read one chapter a night.

I grew up reading all the time. About 20 years ago, I found myself reading less and less. I decided to read "The Count of Monte Cristo" again. I decided I would read one chapter a night, before going to bed, regardless of how late it was, how busy, etc, By the time I finished, reading before going to bed was a habit. I read 30-60 minutes every night before going to bed. (Read plenty of other times, too; but, no matter how the day has been, I read ever night.)

But chances are, almost none of those coming realises that the US's political and ideological birthplace was once part of a little-known Swedish colony known as Nya Sverige (New Sweden).

Or they think Virginia has a strong claim to be "the US's political and ideological birthplace." The author of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was from Virginia. The "Father of the Constitution," James Madison, was from Virginia. George Washington was from Virginia.

It's not like only one European country had colonies in the pre-United States.

FIFA also used the rule to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to play in this World Cup. Ronaldo got a red card in a World Cup qualifier, last November, for "violent conduct" (an elbow). It would have kept him out of the opening match for Portugal in this World Cup. He was issued a suspended suspension, under Article 27, allowing him to play.

Here membership is unusual in that it isn't technically open to everyone, it's business and certain professions:

Price Club, a Costco predecessor was the same way.

In the early 1990s, Walmart (Sam's Club) wanted to merge with Costco. Costco said no and merged with Price Club.

The X4. I always have a USB-C cable handy; so, i can charge it in the bedroom, at y desk, etc.

ASCE (American Society opf Civil Engineering) has an annual Concrete Canoe Competition. (https://www.asce.org/communities/student-members/conferences...)

They are regulated. That's why Connecticut, Arizona, and Illinois are being sued by the government. They tried to regulate these markets and the CFTC says they regulate them, not the states.

By 1980, WTCG had become "WTBS" and then "TBS SuperStation" and simply "TBS"

Closest thing's a birth certificate[EDIT: or naturalization papers, of course, for immigrants], I guess, but that's a pain in the ass for anyone who's had a name change (lots of married women, notably) because then they need more documents.

Or a FS-240, Consular Report of Birth Abroad, from the State Department. I was born on a US military base and although I have a birth certificate, the only think I've ever been able to use it for was my REAL ID. I had to use the FS-240 for my passport, SSN, etc.

We got a number of these to replace our Iomega Bernoulli Boxes. We skipped the Jaz and went to CDs.

If the U.S. implements a draft, will women be required to register? Right now, only men are required to register with the Selected Service when they turn 18. Would Congress amend the Military Selective Service Act?

The Coast Guard has long been responsible for port security. TSA does administer TWIC, the Transportation Worker Identification Credential program, which is a biometric identification system go access to secure port facilities.

racism was a minor factor in the 2024 election. Had Harris been white, she still would have lost. She ran a campaign that said nothing about what she as going to do, she only said how evil Trump would be. She lost the election when she was asked on "The View," a Democrat friendly show, if there was anything she would do differently than Biden. There's only one wrong answer to that question ad she gasve, saying not a thing. Had she just said she'd tackle the border and illegal immigration, she'd have had a chance.

Had Biden kept to his word and been one and one, the Democrats would have had a primary and selected a candidate who could have won. (Harris would not have won the nomination in any sort of primary.)

I'm somewhat surprised that Windows is still most of personal computers.

It's the easiest route. On non-Apple computers, Windows is already installed. (It takes a bit of effort to buy a computer without an OS.) Microsoft makes it easy for a user to get Microsoft 365. With that, users have the computer they have at the office and are familiar with. Most are just surfing the web and writing an occasional letter, anyway. That doesn't include people who are perfectly fine with a Chromebook or just their phone.

Finding a Linux distribution, downloading it, putting it on a USB stick (or burning a disc), then installing it is not simple for most people. (Don't even ask them to verify the checksum.)

In "On A Pale Horse," Zane kills the current Death and assumes the role. I don't recall that he then steps down in a later book.

Shades of Piers Anthony's "On a Pale Horse," Death showed up to take Chuck Norris and Chuck killed him, taking his place.

The voters would rather have Donald Trump.

This is the point many people overlook. Biden won because a lot of voters said, "anyone but Trump" and Biden was acceptable. WaPo even pointed this out, just before Biden dropped out the anyone but Trump voters couldn't really accept Biden after the debate. Harris was not a strong candidate, especially after saying, on "The View," she said she would not change anything.

"Atchley do you realize that several Marines were killed by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor while taking craps?" "No, sir." "A fighting man must be vigilant to surprise attack no matter where he is. The survival of our nation depends on the readiness of Marines all over the world. Also more importantly, you only wiped yourself twice - grossly insufficient. Right now, germs with names you can't even pronounce are preparing to launch a devastating attack that will render you helpless in the defense of your country... Do you read me?" (The Great Santini)

What about books sent directly from a book store? I didn't see that mentioned in the article and that used to be the way to send a book to an inmate. (I've known inmates in a few states.) Books could be sent directly from say Amazon; but, not from an individual. (The article's "Joe Blow off the street.")

You take it to Base Ops and they imaage it or they come to you and image it.

This makes me feel old. I learned Fortran on the Dartmouth Time-Sharing System back in 1980. While I think of Fortran now and again and think about re-learning, I haven't thought of DTSS in years.

The host segments with Jonah aren't too bad. I don't care for the host segments with Felicia Day & Patton Oswalt; but, I didn't care for Pearl and Bobo, either. I don't care for the changing voices and characteristics of the bots, either.

I think the riffs are more "generalized." In the original, there were riffs that were regional or more obscure (e.g. Hamdingers).

Since becoming disabled and not driving anymore, I use an app on my phone to read ebooks, rather than carry a book. I'm always reading two or three at a time; so, I can decide which to read depending on the time I am waiting (for a ride, for an appointment, etc.).

At this point, it looks like 2025 will be the first I neither bought nor read a physical book. I still read every day; but, they've all been ebooks this year. Since I read on my phone, I don't need to carry a book or ereader. I used to read physical books before going to bed; but, this year, I found myself reading fewer books at the same time. (As opposed to a couple on my phone and a couple of physical books before bed.)
