That's because a strong jaw, high cheekbones are attractive and plump red lips are a sign of arousal. Duck facing, while silly, maximizes all three. For a similar reason starlets frequently strike the same pose (it's their most photogenic look):

Duck face is like taking the trick too far, ruining the illusion.

GIMP had content aware deletion before PS (via a free plugin).

You should have downloaded one of the test versions. The splash screen left no doubt about which meaning of gimp they intended it to be.

Every starbuck's I've ever been to has a short size, just not listed on the menu. It happens to be the ideal size for a cappuccino.

It doesn't need to be a credit account, US ATM cards are frequently branded Visa/Mastercard and pay rewards when processed as credit cards (but they come from your account like a debit card, though it usually takes an extra day for processing).

I grab books on CD there before most trips. Fairfax County has a very nice library system and strict enough zoning that the problems an earlier AC referenced are segregated to certain branches.

Each channels fees would massively rise, take a really cheap channel like Bloomberg under a quarter per sub in a basic or premium tier, but $2 if you want it a la carte on C-Band. Most channels would probably be $3-10 and sports channels would be $5-$20. And even with that pricing, many smaller channels wouldn't be able to make up the difference on ads (now they can't show we're in 80million households) and would fold. An awful lot of the small channels with niche audiences are viable because they ride the coattails of ESPN, USA, Bravo, Discovery etc. Take away those coattails and they'll have a much harder time surviving.

But how many people are in the opposite boat as you, who don't watch the channels you want yet pay $0.50-$1.00 per month for them. You might be made worse off by losing their subsidy. The cost of running a channel doesn't decline with fewer subscribers. The most likely result is specialists would be about equal (similar pricing for the channels they watch) but generalists (people who watch a little of many channels would be much worse off). If there were enough generalists who decide to forego the now very expensive bundle, everyoone could be made worse off.

something like 2/3 of US land

Sorry ... slashdot likes to axe non-ASCII characters, it seems.
