It’s addictive, not addicting.

I wonder if urabn camouflage is appropriate attire for search and rescue services? Like, what if you (the searcher) get stuck, and no-one can find you 🤔

You are not ready for the power of knotted cables. It’s ok my son, all are blind to what they cannot comprehend!

Cables are pretty robust as well. Nothing stopping you just tying them up into self constrained knots.

Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.

India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

You ban firearms:

Year one and two: firearms can be turned in to the authorities for a rebate. Possession of a firearm or ammo is a misdemeanor resulting in the confiscation of such, with no further action. Use of a firearm in commission of a crime carriers a harsher penalty. Trading firearms attracts a fine.

Year three to five/six: as above, but possession now arracts a fine, increasing year on year starting as an inconvenience, ending as quite punitive. Trading firearms arracts prison time. Guns and ammo can be handed in anonymously, no rebate/reward.

Year six to ten/fifteen: as above, possession is now a criminal offence, with jail sentences starting at a few months, increasing year on year to serious jail time, commensurate with civilised countries. Trading attracts harsher sentences.

You don’t have to go forcefully into anyone’s home.

Ah, well that’s an aspect I hadn’t considered!

For everyone who thinks the state should just “take Trump Tower”, do you understand that’s not something they’re good at? They would need to find a buyer. You can’t just get a buyer for such a large building in a few days. They really would prefer cash for at least part of the fine.

I think you don’t understand how asset forfeiture works. Trump tower is worth (reportedly) some $800m. The state seizes and sell it for the $500m he owes. They would find a buyer pretty quickly at that price. Any extra on top of the judgment amount is returned with compliments to Trump.

Yep, according to the article, they have a strong enough lobby bribe machine to win exemption.

The median length of observation was seven years, with participants filling follow up questionnaires in the first year. So for the remaining 6 years we just assume that people are still following the same diet regimin?

What is it with the walls the don’t go all the way to floor and the 2 inch gap in the door?

20 is fine with biological detergent, but people can have adverse reactions. But over 60 is recommended for bedding, to sterilise the microbes that grow there.

no, this is a bold statement.

NO.

More police resource dedicated to protecting derelict private property.

Because if a guy with a bomb manages to persuad the pilot to change course…

Since they increase theft/loss rates. If the increase in losses is greater than the saving in wages, they are a failure.
