For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control

Tonight we had a long overdue winter storm. I took a lot of pictures of Philadelphia in the snow tonight. I feel lucky to live in such a pretty city.

the "esc" key on a keyboard is a holdover from early-'90s personal computers. on some models it would dispense a can of escargot out of one of the unused drive bays. they put it in the corner so you wouldn't press it by accident because you only got three of them. i pushed it once and got grounded

Based on this interview (and a few test searches) I’ll be subscribing to the search engine when I get home. Having listicles/high-ad-density-articles automatically down ranked is huge for me. And I can have tree-style tabs and Firefox/chrome plugins in the browser out of the box? Sounds amazing.

Prosecutors do not lie, Chad. Sometimes the truth escapes from the vicinity of what they are talking about and must be tracked own and shot in the back.

Let's not forget the fact where you (in this example) and your fellow prosecutor appear to have gotten on the stand and repeatedly perjured yourself when asked about the arrangement.
