The PIAA - Pizza-bakers Association of America - has already initiated lawsuits against purveyors of frozen pizzas. It's also considering filing suits against recipe websites, because it's clearly a travesty for people to download pizzas for free.
... or something.
On a more serious note I wonder how gas stations will cope in an ever more plugged-in world. Will they too start suing electric/hybrid car manufacturers and charging stations left and right?
The whole 'literal video' meme on youtube is pretty funny as well, with people replacing the lyrics to describe what actually happens in the music video.
Technically I think you're right. They are generally counted as a separate food group, though; in stores similarly you don't tend to find bags of rice somewhere between the cucumbers and lettuce.
So, probably, those weights/annum were separated out by food group?
I think you forgot to account for grains/potatoes, which would help account for those numbers not adding up to 300g/meal.
On a side note, why is McD mentioned in an article about food? To my recollection from the last time I tried any, years ago, it has only a passing resemblance to foodstuffs.
Count me in that group. Even if an advert is relevant to what I want, I still won't click through. If and when I want something, I do my own research.
Adverts are a broken version of word of mouth in that they're inherently biased. Additionally I'm of the mindset that if something needs to be advertised to begin with, something must be wrong with it, beyond getting initial exposure so the internets are aware of its existence. Good search results have made adverts irrelevant, to me at least.
It's not entirely as black and white as that, but on the whole I find adverts to be worse than useless. This goes for commercials on television too, by the way.
Marketers may think that annoyance will wear off and the brand sticks around, and that's what matters, but I know I'm not the only one who has a long memory when it comes to annoyances. I'll just buy something else, annoy me enough and I'll even take the effort to figure out all the brands you make and add them to the shitlist. ;)
Limited, yes, but so is any album that doesn't sport infinite tracks ;).
Still, more than a few unique combinations: 184756. That's without even addressing the ordering of 10 unique songs out of 20, but just which 10 out of 20. i.e. 1..10 and 6..10+1..5 count as 1 of these ~185k, not 2 distinct options.
If the album sells 184756, that's quite a tidy sum.
At one time they used to have the start of the art in science there. It looks like they've given the orders to restore that state of the art, and someone misunderstood this to mean heading back to the age where windmills were considered novel.
Which is a damn shame, to be honest. Culture makes society makes culture.
Not that it's a slight against LoC. It's not they who set their budget. I'm certain they'd love being able to do a more thorough job, even if still not of the scope outlined.
Nor, for the record was I suggesting LoC picks and chooses artifacts adding up to a biased image; it would defeat their stated purpose of being able to inform the research needs of Congress. That's not to say, as a governmental institution, they're not subject to the possibility of having that mandate hijacked in the future.
Addressing then the question, typo notwithstanding, you appear to have intended to ask. The Library of Congresses of the world would together make up the Library of Alexandria Mk. 2, as posited in the article.
I do however have sympathy for the position held by Jacob Cooper, below, questioning whether it's something a government can be trusted to do. A third party might have a mandate to preserve as much as possible, regardless of PoV or source, whereas a government entity might be tempted to archive predominantly artifacts showing them in a favourable or neutral light.
A government might also decide cultural artifacts not from their own country, as far as that's at all easy to tell on the internet, are not their problem to look after. How much would be left by the wayside if all such Library of Congresses came to that conclusion?
Scratch that. The typo in the original comment led me to misread initially as "Is it supposed to be", rather than "It is supposed to be?" My apologies.

A holder of a lot of domains is probably better off becoming their own registrar and renting a dedicated server somewhere.
