Illustrating grammar in a way that the students can understand is difficult if you cannot figure out what the students are interested in. The best demonstrations of grammar work with popular ways of saying things in popular situations. If the students cannot see themselves in a situation how will they understand the demonstration? All the texts and learning tools I ever used put the students in really, really common situations that they could easily understand.

It is good to know where governments are going to tear up cables to disrupt our communications!!

Quick cover this up!!! We can’t be allowed to expose them like this!

I notice that Larken does not give the solution to the problem, leaving it for the student to discern.

I love it. When pigs fly!!! We certainly have our overlords pictured well here, don’t we? They are the same everywhere! FTS

As long as you think it is right to distribute somebody else’s BTC, like their other stuff, their income and anything else, in any way you like, give it all to ME!!!

You have no right to distribute anyone else’s wealth, no matter what they are doing with it. If the owner, Satoshi or whomever he would be, is going to be reft of all of his property, there is only one solution, give it all to ME!!

If this sounds ridiculous, I will say that every one of your alternatives is equally ridiculous!! You relegate yourselves the power to steal from someone, especially someone who has been YOUR benefactor is absurd. You should be very ashamed of yourself for even making such a sh_tty suggestion!!!!

Yes, this is almost as good as 51 intelligence service bosses signing off on Hunter’s laptop being Russian misinformation!! They can all bend over and f themselves. EXPERTS!

Naah, we’ll just load up on ivermectin and fenbendazole!! That’ll take care of any problems.

Hilarious, and I am a cat owner!!! We have five of them. It is good to know, rotflmao.

I see. They are high class “servitors”. I used to wear geta that were only 2-3 cm tall. They are good to wear, especially when it rains. The tabi make them work well. People always used me as an eye rest when I was doing that.

Yes, and nobody is doing anything about it!! I guess it is only a one-way street, Only bad at certain times and certain places, otherwise its A-OK, government approved.

Interesting! Geta are a good way to get around, but not running. BTW, who is Oiran, anyway?

What and work with their hands and not a keyboard and monitor in the comfort of their own home? Manual labor is something that has been militated against in the government schools for at least since the ‘70s. Why would anybody go against all of the college-bound, everyone has a right to go to college and only college-educated have high paying jobs indoctrination? This has been the end goal of the teacher’s unions and government school advisors for over 50 years. Do the latest generations have any desire, let alone thoughts to work with their hands and backs? Smart ones knew that there were lots of opportunities out there for anybody that would take them up in many of the manual trades. BTW, they are higher paying than barista at Starbucks, too.

Yes, but we knew the results of tariffs before he even started in on them.

I thank everybody that had an input to all of these polls over the last few months to arrive at this conclusion. SN participants preferred HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY BY DOUG ADAMS over all the other science fiction series.

Again, thank you for participating!

Thank you for letting me know the full situation!

Yes, burning at thee stake was a popular way to torture/kill opponents. Some say that the essence of the burnt alive person takes much longer to reborn, thus avoiding possible repayment. But bad karma is bad karma and if you earn it it is yours.

Didn’t they also do some raiding, murdering and plundering of caravans of pilgrims to Jerusalem, so those letters of credit never got used? Wasn’t this one of the reasons why they were hunted down and killed?

I think that the tariffs and such were one reason we lost the monopolies on tobacco, cotton and now soybeans. It is if the leaders cannot see what they are doing and what they have done in the past, but only repeat their mistakes. I guess that by not having skin in the game, it is easier to piss away any advantages other people you had. I think this is one of the best arguments for having “economy and state” seperation, just like “church and state” seperation.

That looks like a government operation of some kind, not work or research.

Last chance for the Science Fiction Favorite Series poll. I had to post a re-do because the first one did not show all the options. So, if you want to make some input it is #944266 Feel free to leave a comment if you don’t see your fav. I will definitely be reading some of the top suggestions if I haven’t read them already!

Very nice logic tree! No victim, no crime.
