Which definition does full corn kernels fall into?

idk man. the tins I'm drinking out of don't really 'taste metallic', whereas when I got shot up with radioactive elements, I definitely described it as "having a metallic taste in my mouth".

(Oh and the answer is 'radiology' — shooting people up with radioactive elements is literally everyday stuff. There's a whole branch of medicine about it; "nuclear medicine.")

"They were crying in fear. One of the agents at one point lifted up his shirt, which displayed the gun that he was carrying,"

Now who here thinks this sentence sounds like law enforcement in action in real life and not an excerpt from a badly written gangbanger movie?

The kid having leukemia makes this very much a cruel an unusual decision. Can't say "punishment" since they'd argue it's not a punishment, just bureaucracy. But them not being able to known where they're gonna even have to go looking for healthcare is just horrific.

It's a decent hypothesis, but you'll never gather enough data to convince the naysayers.

"The results just aren't in yet, look at all the people alive"

"No, I'm the ologist!"

Maybe he said "urologist" and the journalist just didn't understand.

Actually when irl blood feeders (such as vampire bats) feed, they need to constantly keep pissing while sucking blood, so as not to burst from the volume of liquid they're feeding off of.

Because blood is relatively nutrition poor. Just mostly water with an irony taste. (Uh.. I wouldn't know personally ofc. Uhm, a friend told me. A human friend, as all we humans have.)

My family members would literally all answer the first one.

Or perhaps "I'm aware of the notion, but don't believe in it"

Oh I never knew that had a name.

I love doing that to pathological narcissists, whenever safe.

At some point even he has to realize that he's a joke right?

Like even his syphillitic brain can't not see what's right in front of him forever, can it?

Is he really this fucking stupid?

A week or two probably, when in the army.

And since wr actually we're responsible for actual foods hygiene, we always got sauna/bathing priority. So never went more than two weeks imo.

To disregard their existence is to pretend they don't matter at all, which is incredibly naive.

There's no perfect compliance, no, but if they weren't respected at all and had no effect, the situations would be different.

For instance yeah, Russia has apparently brought out WWI style choking agents and used them. But there's no widespread use at least, and no mustard gas. Which would be more effective for Russia to do. But they don't, as they want to keep plausible deniability so that Europe doesn't gain an actual reason to mount an offensive.

So yeah, while you are right in that psychotic asshats don't care about them, they are affected by them nonetheless.

Basically ROE says that medics shouldn't be shot, but my brother trained as a medic and one of the first things they've we're unofficially taught was to hide their crosses on the battlefield, as Russians would literally aim at medics. (Finnish army.)

Mmm, not really.

You can't just slaughter civilians willy nilly. Well, you can, obviously, as shown by what's going on in the world, but international laws say you shouldn't.

Iran could legally intern any Americans, but civilians wouldn't still be POW's. And should technically have rights and whatnot.

Practically all modems from that time allowed you to turn off that noise - even during handshake.

Well this bit of info came a few decades too late, but TIL.

Don't spiders actually sort of rather drink their prey than eating it? We digest food inside us, spiders just vomit up shit onto paralysed prey that liquifies it so the spider can just sort of slurp it up.

So I wonder how he'll do with a turtle. It's easy enough to imagine on a fish, but...

What would you, specifically, find to be a tolerable amount of ads?
