Sure he's not had a seizure or stroke or something? Epileptics will do repetitious stuff for a good 10-15 minutes after a seizure and not remember any of it. Seen my epileptic brother leave his belongings throughout a mall and not realize it for hours, he'll also try to get out of a moving vehicle if he has a seizure in the car.

It's like they get an idea in their head and try to execute it until they recover.

What if you are a axe wielding murderer at heart?

Seen a few people on some meds, like anti-seizure or anti-anxiety who just stare without movement or emotion like this at seemingly odd or inappropriate times.

And bored people.

I haven't seen this ad before. I have seen the coal miner ad. Where they were told to go to the Romney rally during a work day, unpaid. And that it was mandatory. Kinda leads me to believe they will be told to vote for him as well.

Many authors spend years just trying to get their name out there, so for awhile...it's in their interest to have their work shared if it's not selling like hot cakes on day one.

Once they become more established and known, then the sharing will have more of an impact on their income.


Basically, starting out...without a name they are going to be lucky if people even consider reading their stuff. Lots of guys go a decade before they get to where they can make a living off their work. It's quicker now to pass your work around, but there also a lot more competition with the digital age. A fairly active self-published author whose been tracking his progression on his blog for years says that a writer's best effort for advertisement is writing more books. So that the chance of you being featured on Amazon or some other digital offering is higher, and that you have the ability to offer one of your older books for greatly reduced prices or even free to pick up new readers who may go on to buy your products. It's one of those scenarios that you're kinda damned if you do, damned if you don't on both sides of the equation. Customer can't buy every authors books nor read them all, so free might be what it takes to get your foot in the door with them. However authors can't make a living giving away all their stuff to get noticed, but they may never get enough of a notice to make a living off of their work without giving it away at some point to pick up reviews and word of mouth.


An author, their feelings on the issue is going to vary greatly depending on their success. If they've been at it for years, they might be happy to pick up the extra eye balls from someone spreading their work around. Where as someone like King probably takes a much dimmer view on it. But there's been an up swing in complaints from publishers about libraries and how much they pay for digital stuff, so all that complaining kinda becomes white noise after awhile despite how valid their complaints may be...because every industry seems to be complaining about "lost sales" with some astronomical number to attach to it.

Looks like they pulled a baby mouse out of his nose.

Newer, fresh tar will melt pretty easy until it gets some grit and dirt in it.

Will get soft around 95-100 degrees in direct sunlight. Really annoying in the summer when they are filling cracks and it sticks to your car tire when you stop or slow down and then your car pulls it up in a big strip and wraps around your wheel.

It's worse if they use the wrong mixture of tar....lot of people think you can use roof tar to fill cracks in your driveway. Don't do that. Roof tar melts really easy and is meant to so it'll flow and fill in places where water might leak in....much lower melting temp. They often pump it from the ground to the roof....

Old truck and trailer tires used to have rings that would blow off and decapitate people if they were not properly inflated is what I was told for years when I was working around dump trucks and trailers.

Even the newer style tires can blow apart with so much force that it'll dent doors and break windows on cars if they are driving down the road next to them.

Why I really don't like driving next to trucks. Especially near the front tires, because if they blow you got a truck that's going to be veering into you.

I needed to learn how to properly hip thrust, I forget almost every day.

Is this like a screen test or something they did outside of the show?

Spelled twisted wrong mint, was wondering what swisted was.

Looks like they took a page from the Linux desktops to try to make things as non-obvious as possible for someone coming from a Windows environment.

Good business plan.

I'd only approve if she was showing us how to build our own hidden doorway with book shelf release latch.

Because, hidden doorway > most hardcover books.

Cat my parents had when I was growing up chewed on ear lobes when it was a kitten. It was hard not to laugh from the tickling feeling, and she'd stop if you laughed.
