That every time people had sex, the woman became pregnant. I thought that every sex scene in a film meant the film had to be stopped for 9 months until the actress could give birth.

Da na da na da na da na Bat Eyes!

These are both subjectively true.

Clarke’s third law. “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Quicksand thing is fucking stupid though.

You from New Zealand? Look in the mirror and say “can’t”.

“Ask for your patience and understanding at this difficult time” sounds a lot like “we will be using this as an excuse to deny all claims until further notice.”

Wasn’t he, quite famously, born in Bethlehem?

The man seems to know what he’s doing and, well, “might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb”. Plenty more CEO’s in the range.

IIRC the NK soldiers have been fighting (and dying) in the Ukrainian occupied parts of Russia, and haven’t been deployed to the Russian occupied parts of Ukraine yet.

In ancient Rome, the sitting emperor often would choose a successor from, well anybody really, often not even a relation. They then adopted that person. If one has to have hereditary rulers, this seems a fairly sensible way to go about it.

Don’t let the door skelp your arse on the way out.

“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class.”

That would appear to include rape now.

This very much depends on your level of skill, experience and awareness of the dunning-kruger effect.

You don’t already?

OK, but…that entire tank contains less CO² than the average car emits every kilometre. I don’t think soda stream are contributing massively to global warming. The fact that it’s an Israeli company with a history of exploitation of Palestinian labor, complicity in settlement expansion, and continued violations of Palestinian human rights, is a very good reason not to use it.

Edit. Oops, worked that out from the assumption of 60L of CO², closer inspection shows 410g, which would be around 3.5 KM.

Edit 2. The average person breaths out more than twice this amount of CO² a day. Perhaps being complicit in genocide is Soda Stream being carbon neutral?

He would have to deport his children then. Isn’t trump the son of a Scottish immigrant himself?

Not sure how your feed is organised, but on mine mohodeve’s comment is directly below yours. Or is that what you consider a boring average high school experience?

Canterbury tales maybe?

More insane than thinking Canada has a giant faucet that takes all the melt water from the polar ice cap and dumps it in the Pacific, instead of letting it run “down” to California?

Edit. Pluralised ice cap. I don’t think even Trump is stupid enough to think the south pole’s run off ends up in Canada.
