people they’ve given no other choice or recourse
I don’t know, I find I also have the option to not consume media that I can’t pay for or justify ethically. For instance, the only streaming service we have a subscription for is The Criterion Channel.
That’s discriminatory! Actually it’s because they have dark skin. As a native South african, Musk knows this. Fortunately, he was able to immigrate in 1988 before things went bad. You silly
I love the idea of giving Obama a second Nobel Peace prize, just to piss Trump off.
I find Drupal just as easy to set up as wordpress. Most shared web hosts have a script to do everything for you, including installing updates. In fact, I find Drupal’s administration more logical and easier to manage. (I may be biased, since I spent 10 years developing Drupal sites.)
The other advantage is that, unlike WordPress, Drupal themes and plugins (the Drupal term is “modules”) are almost all open source and free. I find that WordPress has lots of plugins that give you the basic version for free, but then want to upsell you to a paid version.
Not only that, but many of his books are freely available epubs with no DRM. You can read them and decide if you like his style before going on to buy the others.

Just audio. But it is presented in a way that helps you to learn, rather than just remember. If you give it a try, I promise that you will be shocked at how you can retain the knowledge.
It isn’t enough on its own, however. You need to reinforce the lessons by speaking to people, reading, and/or TV and movies.
I have found Duolingo much, much less useful for language learning than Language Transfer. The latter actually helps you learn to think in another language rather than memorize things (which is still useful, but not nearly as much).
Short if total immersion, I have found nothing better than LT.
But how much do IP laws actually protect the little guy? When a large corporation can bankrupt me by prolonging litigation until I have nothing left, what leverage do I really have?
There are certainly cases where small creators and inventors were able to overcome this disadvantage, but I suspect that they are the tiny minority, celebrated when they do achieve it.
When I was in grade 9, in 1977, my science teacher told us about his solar panels. He was projecting that they would pay off the investment in about 20 years. How much better must that be now (and we are talking about Ontario, Canada, hardly the best place for solar power)?
Definitely a thing for days like Valentine’s.
Just don’t tell anyone about The Judgment of Paris and similar events that showed the wine world, and French wines in particular, in a very poor light.
Sadly, France doesn’t have a very well developed wine industry yet!
In Sesotho, a language of Southern Africa, there are no swear words, however there are insults that (I was told) may cause someone to want to fight or even kill you.
Those insults:
