Bordering on card expose or even magic.
edit: The glossary is part of a much larger project. It involves a couple of other people, mainly working on the body of the publication and massive video elements. The body of the text will focus on what you mention, and then some. -

He's seriously dedicated and knowledgeable on the subject, with just the right amount of silliness.
As for celebrities and their coffee, I have no time for that. But if that is what gets you into enjoying a serious cup, then I say fine then. James's take on this is very insightful, as always. I too, was entertained by how close he came guessing each brand. -

The true gems were based on his short stories. The main ones I'd recommend were the series Tapping the Vein. There were some single titles too. I can have a look at mine if you wish.

I still have them, with the intention of enjoying them all again. I hope my recommendation isn't in vain due to scarcity.

That may be so, but, that doesn't negate the fact that is still impacting may people's routine access to their medications.
It's not a stretch to think that this type of attack on a system could be weaponised, like any other infrastructure for a country. -

Even though it's not as gripping to me as SNW, it's still Star Trek.

It was amusing to me, when I scrolled way down, that you wrote, "No amount of effort seems sufficient to make me a long-winded writer." Seems like progress has been made.

All of that is common knowledge, but there's the fact he was the drummer in the first band and then took a more active guitar role for the second band. I guess what fits in with your question is that Kurt Cobain and Pat Smear we're not initially aware of his guitar chops while he was active in Nirvana. Also, maybe not maybe not a lot of people know that he played all the instruments on his first Foo Fighter album.

Regardless, I put copper tape in the entire cavity of my electric mandolin, including the pick guard that covers it. I went so far as to make it possible for the two to contact each other when assembled. Also, soldering the tape seams to complete the sheilding. I have been hyper aware of grounding. Good luck and enjoy!

I started inexpensive to dip my toe in, to see if upgrades were in order, in the future. I find it interesting working with the second hand stuff too and the limitations that comes with it. The challenges are part of the fun for me.
