You can also get extended service updates from Microsoft for at least a year. $30 for up to 15 computers, although there are also a couple of ways to get then free. 1000 bing rewards points, or enabling Backup to sync your settings to OneDrive are supposed to both means to get them that will become available soon.

That sort of misidentification is another reason that dog bite statistics are unreliable; they depend not on rigorous breed identification but on amateurs’ identification based on physical traits shared by bull dogs, mastiffs and terriers. Artificially group dog bite reports involving a dozen unrelated breeds or mixes together under the misidentification “pit bull” and yeah, you make pit bulls sound scary.

Even when properly applied to pit bull type dogs, the term “pit bull” is imprecise because as wikiipedia states “pit bull is an umbrella term for several types of dog believed to have descended from bull and terriers. In the United States, the term is usually considered to include the American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, American Bully, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, and sometimes the American Bulldog, along with any crossbred dog that shares certain physical characteristics with these.”

Anyone who argues that breed is a reliable indicator of violent behavior and refuses to acknowledging the lack of reliability of eye witness breed identification on the basis of appearance is arguing in bad faith.

That’s not a pitbull, it’s a Cane corso or another type of mastiff. That people so frequently misidentify various breeds as “pit bulls” is one of the factors that makes the statistics you cite unreliable. Even “pit bull” isn’t a specific breed designation. Any breed or mix with a boxy head and deep chest is likely to be mistaken for a pit bull.

You might be confusing Cthulhu with Crowley. Cthulu would be indifferent to most human activities other than boating.

It’s not what I read for primarily, nor did I say so. Your supposition is something of a strawman argument. There’s no need to be defensive on McCarthy’s behalf. Any writer receives much worse criticism than that no matter how good they are, often from themselves. We tend to be our own worst critics.

That said, poor grammar pulls me out of a story and that’s a common reaction.

A good writer might use such run on sentences sparingly as a matter of style, to good effect. William Kennedy’s opening paragraph in Quinn’s book is a good example. The quoted passage from Blood Meridian may be another such. As I said, I haven’t read McCarthy and don’t know if such run-on sentences are typical of his writing, so I asked.

Jesus, those are some egregious run on sentences. I’ve never read McCarthy, now I’m not sure I should. Is this typical of his writing?

I like that both “toasters” and “clankers” are hard “r” slurs.

That’s fair, because AI is biased against them.

We already have “clankers” thanks to Clone Wars. What more do we need?

In this case there are no competing domestic products though, or few enough as makes little difference. This is just taxation with extra steps.

“There was a button. I pushed it.” Where’s Holden when you need him?

More importantly, this will be easily undone later, unlike much of the other damage he has done or plans to do. Compared to those things, I can’t get too worked up over this.

The web isn’t just HTML and server side scripting anymore. A modern website uses Javascript for many key essentials of the site’s operation. I’m not saying that’s always a good thing, but it is a true thing.

It is no longer a reasonable expectation that a website work with JavaScript disabled in the browser. Most of the web is now in content management systems that use JavaScript for browser support, accessibility, navigation, search, analytics and many aspects of page rendering and refreshing.

Asmondgold is so far past being relevant. He was intolerable when he was simply making World of Warcraft videos.

I’d be much more likely to watch Muppet Dark City if Jennifer Connelly was the only human cast member.

In Star Wars, a Galactic Standard Year corresponded to the time it took Coruscant to orbit it’s star once, 368 standard days.

So you’re saying that the cheapest example of a given food is not necessarily a good value? Makes sense.

Depends on what kind of food you’re talking about. Whole foods like potatoes, lentils and beans are filling, nutritious and inexpensive. Cheap processed foods frozen pizza are basically edible polyester.

Lest I give the impression that the book is entirely about human/hisa relations, it’s not.

That’s one of three intertwined plot threads, the other two being interstellar war among humans and the politics and logistics of running a space station overwhelmed by refugees of the war.
