a great variety to choose from. The eventual American woman will be even more beautiful than the woman of to-day. Her claims to that distinction will result from
a fine combination of the best points of all those many race
mircea_popescu: "Over time, as finance and commerce became more sophisticated, the concept of
a unit of account emerge and gold generally became the default unit. Much has been written regarding why gold fell into this role, but for our purposes here it’s sufficient to note that it did." << seriously ?! what is this, insult the reader's intelligence club ?

benkay: and while I *know* that nothing is new under the sun, i still learned last night that cuntshaving's been
a thing forever.

mircea_popescu: " Lisp is not the kind of language that insecure losers would use. people do not want to learn Lisp because they stand
a better chance of beating another unskilled fool in the job race. fact is: you don't get
a job by lying about your Lisp skills. all of this means that there is very little activity at the front gate, where all the journalists and the media are. there are no people struggling like mad to ge

a quite dangerous strat.

a decent backup argument/reason and here are plenty that try. its just
a hmnmo thx but i take note of the ideas

a good keyboard

a false impression, artefact of your context
