It's all about that plausible deniability.

Not solid state media, though; now we know why the world is shifting to SSDs! It's all an ~~AI~~ Antichrist plot!

Though, I guess if OP's magnet is comically large enough, it could just physically damage the circuitry, and it won't matter. You're the savior we need, OP!

My solution is just to act like I'm cooking for 12 people, and have leftovers for the rest of the week.

The answer to the 'Taxes might go up' concern is that even if taxes do go up, it will be offset by cheaper broadband rates even for people who don't switch. Comcast right now are operating an effective monopoly; when they lose that, and a presumably cheaper option becomes available, they'll have to adjust their pricing to compete. Even folks who do not intend to switch stand to benefit from this initiative.

Yep, you're right. Confused myself with all the cumulative vs consecutive vs concurrent jabber.

With regards to prison sentences?

Sentences served concurrently are served at the same time. If someone was found guilty of 3 different crimes, and was sentenced to 1, 3 and 5 years in prison for them, and they were to be served concurrently, they'd be in prison for a total of 5 years.

Cumulative (or consecutive, depending on where you're from) sentences are served one after another, so in the above example, they'd be in prison for a total of 9 years.

It's also possible for (for example) the 1 and 3 year sentences to be served cumulatively, and the 5 year to be served concurrently (in which case the total would be 8 years).

Okay, I'll bite, go ahead. Why are we censoring this?

I think episode 7, 8, 9 would have been better if 7 had flipped the script rather than being a story analog to 4. Whole movie could have been largely the same, but rather than the Resistance stopping the First Order at the end, let the First Order win - let Starkiller Base succeed in blowing up the Resistance' base planet and achieve, for all intents and purposes, total victory. It would have come as a shock to viewers (especially given how close the macro plot adhered to episode 4), and they could have made the rest of the new trilogy about the scattered remnants of the resistance trying to get their shit together and field some kind of opposition against overwhelming, impossible odds.

Listen here, you little shit.

I do, admittedly, find it fun to try and work out the meaning through context despite not being able to read German.

Out of curiosity, is this with a QWERTY keyboard, or do you use another layout? (And if so, which layout do you use?)

If everyone made use of the post language feature, it would entirely solve this problem. Unfortunately (at least to my knowledge) it's not possible to set a default post language, so most content is just posted as Undetermined.
