I was so into the movie watching it with my kids, when it started rolling credits I literally said "what the fuck!" out loud in front of mine and a bunch of other people's kids. I was so disappointed and now the second part is nowhere in sight. So frustrated, I refuse to watch it on streaming since it is such a tease.

Windows worked fine with the different port so I'm all sorts of confused. But it's working now.

States can send a delegation of their representatives to the capital to work on committees, etc, while the rest remain in the state and simply vote or help draft legislation from afar. This would mean about 6800 representatives and make gerrymandering more complex. It also means lobbying becomes significantly more difficult and expensive for corporations.

It's really not much harder since you only have to fuss with it to get the cable cable routing in place, once that is done, everything else is the same.

Lefties write differently and most teachers don't know how to do it, so go online and look for lecture writing resources. As for athletics, make sure his coaches are aware he is left handed, since he will likely be left footed. That affects how he will learn to do activity's, like shooting a basket ball.

A well designed research study that ends up showing no result is still good to know so others can learn what not to do.
A friend wasted a year doing research that showed no result then later learned another research had done a similar experiment years ago with no result.
