You might want to look into what’s called promession. It’s a way to turn you into fertilizer.

Your question is hard to answer. Because when it comes to how corpses are dealt with, the rules aren’t federal in the US. So you need to look at the states. And the rules for burials, release of the ashes, etc. are possibly set at county level. Likewise in Europe, the rules differ by countries and even within those by whatever subdivisioning applies. I looked it up for Germany, which has some federal rules about how to handle a corpse. But then 16 state laws on what is allowed in terms of final resting places. So far as I can see a Viking burial will not be allowed in places where cremation must happen at a specific temperature, the ashes may not be spread outside cemeteries, or other environmental laws forbid it. So that’s basically nowhere then. Being shot out of a cannon will probably fail at an environmental hurdle or the fact that civilians can’t own active military equipment.

Fans. Keep a paper/manual one on you are all times, as backup if you have a battery powered one. On those do your research to find one with a good battery.

If you’re running your A/C you can set it at a higher temperature if you run a ceiling fan or upright fan at the same time.

Don’t wear black or dark colors.

Cooling packs in the freezer, wrap a towel around it, put it on your head, hold it on your hands.

Just a wet cloth around your neck is great when you’re out and about.

I think this is a common language divided by an ocean thing.

I grew up with # being pound as well. The use of the pound symbol to highlight shit came from coding. Hash is another word for the pound symbol. It tags stuff. Ergo hashtag. Born in the glory years of Twitter.

Those thoughts are not crazy. I feel like that every time I take a picture off a bridge or tall building and I’m leaning over the edge to get a better angle. I found peace of mind in a lanyard strap.

That is a valid point. As the question has been answered already, I was just wondering what prompted it.

Specifying American English is unnecessarily specific. The other Englishes do it too.

Why do you ask this? Is it that inconceivable that people could just say “comma” in their languages like you say “point” in English? Or were you hoping it’s a weird word? Like seven thlumpf five?

He wasn’t supposed to be alone in the cell. They were supposed to check on him. The surveillance cameras were supposed to work. It’s possible this is 3 human fuckups in a row with sad consequences. By which I mean his victims could never see him in court getting convicted. It’s also possible that he was killed in custody. We like conspiracy theories. We may never know. Because you would need to be able to prove this. And unless they filmed themselves hanging him, which I doubt they did, then this will take its rightful place among the great myths of our time.

It’s also possible he offed himself. He may have suddenly discovered a conscience and developed scruples (low chance). He may have not felt like discussing his pedophilia in open court again and chose the coward’s way out (higher chance). Somebody may have pressured him. He knew shit about many of the rich and powerful; the reverse may also be true (highest chance of these three).

Not yet.

Have another go at reading the post. The question wasn’t what’s stopping the US from building both, the question was whether OP’s explanation does justice to the status quo. My first sentence includes the word “also,” indicating that this is additional information that I found wasn’t sufficiently weighed in the single paragraph.

This is a thread and I read other people pointing out other things. So I didn’t.

If you’re being spat on you might be talking to a llama. The extra L is for liberal. Don’t say antisemitic stuff. That’s my sincere answer.

Edit: OP is a troll who edited the post.

I think you need to read more of the article you neglected to link to. I also think your irony gauge needs adjusting. Thank you for rage baiting with us today.

There is no entity called “the world” that can flick through contingency plans. You can bet those who benefit from oil that would have sailed through the strait with no problem hadn’t the orange toddler started a war have a plan B. Whether that’s reactivating a few old pipelines or just sending ships the long way around, fuck knows. I’m not swimming in petrodollars. None of these plans will cost the same. All contingency plans cost more money. They might be raising fuel prices too much but they couldn’t not raise them at all.

No one foresaw this development because it is - and that’s the diplomatic term for it: fucking stupid. And that’s why there isn’t a plan B in place that can be used in the same way right away.

Y’all were under a king before and managed to change that.

The pace at replacing books at libraries is so painfully slow you stand a good chance to find an environment that’s nearly free of LLM influence at your local one.

It’s faster than a transaction via QR code. Also, the chip isn’t just restricted to handling payments. It can be used as key fob for your car or on your smart lock at home or at the hotel you’re staying at.

Your imagination is wild.

That tends to be the case though. Even in Europe that’s true in many cases. I think so far only France has legislation on the books that makes it illegal for airfare to beat trainfare under a certain distance.
