Saying you'd sacrifice a particular human in exchange for preserving a particular work of cultural significance will disgust a significant portion of the population.
What if they volunteer?
And how can man die better
than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers
and the temples of his gods?
Christmas is this week!
What are some of your favorite Christmas albums? My Hall of Fame includes:
- Christmas in the Aire, by Mannheim Steamroller
- Christmas Album, by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
- Charlie Brown Christmas, by Vince Guaraldi
And not an album, but this rip of a 1974 Kmart holiday-season tape loop is a prime collection of vintage easy-listening holiday music: https://youtube.com/watch?v=EFuVl-p31xQ

I'm baffled by the concept of a game studio where the coding-level devs make decisions on the overall direction and themes of the game. Surely there are producers and executives analogous to movie productions with hire/fire power who set the parameters of the artistic output, no?

I would think there would be fewer issues of upset equilibrium (and reduced political deference) in this case since she's a county judge and it's a federal prosecution. I'm certain if it was state or local law enforcement she was screwing with, nothing would have happened.

Nuclear waste continues to irradiate anything around it for an incredibly long time
This is meaningless without quantities though. Everything is irradiated at all times from ordinary nuclear decay, cosmic rays, and solar radiation. It is a manageable hazard. After a long time, the quantity of radiation emitted is going to flatten out to a hazard lower than the chemical toxicity you dismiss.

FWIW Sargento is made in Wisconsin and sold in the grocery stores. It's fine for things like Mac and Cheese or Cheesy Potato Casserole or queso salsa. But they also sell things like Sartori and BelGioioso and lots of local micro producers which, as you note, are incredible for straight cheese eating. (I just now realized the Sar in Sargento is Joe Sartori, who sold his interest in Sargento to work on the more crafty Sartori cheese.)

I read The Road a few weekends ago and while I did not end up sobbing, I did end up thinking for a good long while about how soft and easy my life is in historical terms.

I guess we know whose language is PowersHell. (I actually really like powershell, but I might be lawful evil)
I assume you mean only in places they have permission to be. Which is always in public, but might also be private places they are invited into.
