Because that's about the only way she has to legally keep from bending the knee to the priests of Baal. But that’s the thing... Her for hire services are shooting pictures and providing those pictures to her client. She does so. Beyond that, her contract for hire probably has a clause giving her permission to publish any of these photos on her webpage with the clients s permission. That gives her sole discretion to chose which pictures she wants to publish. That’s her right as a business owner and is not a part of the services she was contracted to perform. She wasn’t hired to publish their pictures. End of story.

@doctor-phibes said in Jason and the Argonauts - smoothed out: Something I noticed with my kids growing up was that when they were young, they were pretty much uninterested in, and oblivious of, the quality of special effects. They'd happily watch an old movie with crappy graphics, and even when I joked about them they'd tell me off for being negative. Once they hit about 15-16, that all changed, and they'd laugh at the old movies for looking so cheesy. A bit sad, really, but interesting in how they see entertainment before they've being 'educated' in how to think. Ask them about an original Godzilla, you might be surprised.

What a crock...

My t-shirt shipped.

@jolly said in Evading the Vaccine?: Ah, but wait until we get a few more mutations. I'm not sure we will ever get a handle on COVID. Does that mean the end of crowds at sporting events? No more concerts? Social distancing and masking forever? Nope. It is what it is and that’s why we need to get everyone vaccinated now for our best case. The world will never lock down again.

I'd have to agree. He's committed.

You could be a rockstar every time with that recipe.

@mik said in Hey, Mik!: We are looking for a dog and a cat. It breaks my heart to see all the animals out there who probably don't have a chance of getting adopted. And when the pandemic ends there will be a ton of people that won’t want to be burdened by an animal as they travel.

Smile when you say that, Moollineal.

@lufins-dad This is one of the best explanations of efficacy I've read. Also talks about how the numbers among various manufacturers are a bit apples and oranges. https://www.livescience.com/covid-19-vaccine-efficacy-explained.html?utm_source=pocket-newtab

@jolly said in Bee Mine: This time, though, the more likely cause is the Covid-driven 2020 economy With the above quote (and being completely ignorant about bees), if the honey is not cleaned out of their nest, does the colony kind of dye off? I’m just wondering why the economy would affect the number of the colonies? Second, I thought that maybe it was a fungus that was causing the deaths?

@horace

Why does she need a small SUV? Why not a medium sized sedan? I get better storage/trunk space in a Camry than I do a RAV4, more leg space in the interior, and it’s a lot more comfortable drive...
