This was my experience as well.
I did, however, have the unfortunate experience of studying a degree that required four sequential semesters of courses that started at 8AM. Granted, I could have solved that problem by changing majors, but here I am. Once those classes were over, all of my classes were between 11AM and 3PM.
Bell Witch is like this. Their album Mirror Reaper is technically one “song.”
Garnished with what?
Granted, bananas weren’t always as sweet as they are now, so I could imagine this working really well with plantains.
Senators in the US senate serve 6 year terms and there are only 2 per state. This means that there is always an even number of senators and they have a lot of time in office before needing to focus on campaigning for re-election. Compare this to the House of Representatives where the terms are 2 years and states get allocated different amounts of representatives based on population.
Other things to note about senators is that there are certain procedural elements in government that only originate or happen in the senate: approving presidential appointees, judges, generals and admirals, authorizing treaties. The senate also has various committees that advise or manage various aspects of governance. Bills, including the budget, must pass both houses of Congress; in the case of the budget, it originates in the House of Representatives but must be approved by the Senate. The Senate has a lot of power to kill/block legislation because legislation requires both houses of Congress to pass it.
Historically, the Senate was the states’ representative in the federal government and, in fact, state legislatures used to select senators. Although senators are now voted for by the populations of each state, they still have a legacy of being “more prestigious” than the House of Representatives and often vote more conservatively (read as deliberate or less reactively).
Candidly speaking, senators are known to become legacies often staying in office for more than 20 years and it is not uncommon frontje children of senators to also become senators. I mention this, because socially senators are often perceived as being part of a supposedly “non-existent” US aristocracy.
Thanks! I registered a domain with cloudflare and that was easy enough. I’ll read up on some alternative providers and see how this all shakes out.
Would I need to do anything with the custom domain beyond registering it for this to work with an email provider?
Because this sounds like a great migration plan: set up a custom domain, add it to protonmail, update emails, export data, and then switch providers.
I’m just a bit clueless on the whole setting up a custom domain part.
You should definitely try to read it again. It’s literally set in a world that exists after the US collapses and most of the agencies are sold off to corporations.
It’s over 30 years old at this point and, for near future sci-fi, some of the speculations fall flat. I’m pretty sure this book is also where Zuckerberg got the idea for both the technology and name of “the metaverse.”
Some of its faults derive from the habit of sci-fi authors “dropping” you into their world without context or explanation. Slang, cultural norms, history, and technology are introduced without a lot of explanation. Snow crash also has a lot of characters whose perspectives we see throughout which probably contributes to the weird format you mentioned. I’ve always read Snow Crash like a movie (even though all of the attempts to make it into one have failed).
Interesting take. I’ve always interpreted this phrase as a folksy way of saying a cascade of causality or a progression of responsibilities.
I think this phrase also has origins in extreme poverty, not from extreme wealth. Greed has a lot to do with why the world is shitty but I don’t think that’s the “wisdom” this phrase is trying to express.
Rice flour.
I think that word is tyranny, if we’re sticking with Greek.
But the same nonexistent god of Abraham.
