Laptops have their own batteries that work more or less like an UPS ;)

Missouri makes us get a safety and emissions test done every two years too. I would've thought you guys were stricter about that stuff.

Doesn't biannual mean twice a year and not once in two years?

Semiannual means twice a year, as far as I've learned it... my teacher taught me that biannual and biennial was the same thing... :?

All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.
