@Stojke: The issue is not that an animal got eaten by another animal, it is that an animal suffered needlessly. There are ways to kill an animal without causing it (much) pain. While those ways aren't available to an animal in the wild, they were available to this man.

You should be able to change permissions for all files and subfolders of a folder using the command-line tool "icacls.exe" which comes with Windows. Run it "as administrator". If you're running it through "cmd.exe", run cmd.exe "as administrator".

I want to fly a helicopter over China throwing Marmite at the little children. Then I'll sell them "medicine" which actually is poison. Then I'll go to court and I'll have my lawyer dress up in a bear costume. Then I'll be sad and wish I had sold water to seamen instead.

Firefox is in my experience faster than Chrome when you have many (30+) tabs open. Chrome has a faster JavaScript engine, but unless you're playing a complex JavaScript-based game or doing advanced math calcuations or cryptology in your browser you shouldn't notice that.

A state is an area with a local government with either full independence or significant power. A country is either a state or an area without government.

"England is a country in the UK - a collection of four countries under the leadership of one governing body" How is that any different from Berlin-Germany or Quebec-Canada? The UK, USA, Germany, PROC and Canada are countries with one main government and several regions, each with its own secondary government with limited power. If England and Greenland are countries, then so are Texas, Quebec, Qinghai and Berlin. The inconsistency in wording can only be motivated by the wish for historical consistency. What was once a state must always be referred to as a state. This at the cost of logic. This I don't like.

Indeed it has some oddities and inconsistencies that are crazy. I laughed at the part about humanitarians.
Loosely related: Why are England and Greenland called countries, Texas and Berlin called states and Qinghai and Quebec called provinces? I've heard the European Union referred to as a country, does that make England a country within a country within a country?

Religious or anti-religious, I think what matters the most is respect for fellow humans (and other animals) and non-violence. I am yet to see proof of anything good stemming from hatred.

I was surfing porn one night and came across a video. Seemed fairly normal at first, until I realized the girl wasn't in on it. Haunted me for months. Rape is a fucking horrible thing.

Shower it. The water should clean out the sugar and other goo. Then just let it dry and it should work. I've done this to two keyboards, fixed both of them.

I know there are forums on the subject of ADHD, maybe you could write there about your book and perhaps give away part of your book for free to attract customers?
Edit: Thanks for fixing it
