I guess there's no "buy-to-keep" option for most of Netflix's shows. I say "most", because some you can buy DVDs and Blu-Rays of like Stranger Things and some are even offered in a DRM-free format such as the revival of Mystery Science Theater 3000!
That’s applicable to the Police, but not other parts of the public sector. Take Finland and their schools, for example: what makes them so high-quality is because the teachers are valued and their compensation is reflected as such (though their education system produced Tero Pulkkinnen but he’s more of an exception than the rule in Finland, methinks).
Re: Re: Re: Oxford dictionary has already gone there
Thanks for correcting me. Like I said, it's been a while, but I'm glad the OED finally got around to correctly defining "asexual", albeit decades after their American counterparts…
And yes, it's only a dictionary. But the Oxford Dictionary is THE Dictionary.
While the Oxford Dictionary is excellent in their etymology, I would hesitate to call it the only one that matters, seeing as the American Heritage Dictionary had a definition of "asexual" to mean "lacking interest in sex or sexual intercourse" as far back as the 1990's and to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong, please), the OED still doesn't have that definition. However, I can't verify it, considering that the OED is behind a paywall and dictionary.com is free.
I think some people here know that I make music. I have a bandcamp page here, but whenever I release music I can license with a creative commons license (I prefer BY-NC), I upload them to the internet archive, where you can find works from me and some of my friends (and people who release their music with a creative commons license, for instance).
It's a lot better when culture is shared rather than hidden away.
This rustles my jimmies.
This makes me want to go super saiyan.
This really grinds my gears.

Why? Because this was exactly what the First Amendment was supposed to guard against. Cops are supposed to have thicker skin. They obviously don't, but they're supposed to do so. We expect cops to be whiny babies with too much power. What I don't expect is judges to willfully decide flagrantly against the constitution like this. Very few things are more outrageous than this.

The alternative - that TD is actually read by people not employed by Mike Masnick - is just too horrible for [OOTB/Blue Balls/Brainy Smurf] to contemplate.
Reality is just too horrible for Brainy Smurf to contemplate.
