Presumably the pilot would have been ordered to do this. To what end? Why?

Yes China, we know you want Taiwan back. Either commit to solid action or don't. This bizarre behaviour just risks lives and expensive aircraft.

Seriously, what's the point?

Yeah man, that scratches the itch!

Fun (albeit personal) fact: I'm a Brit who was sent to work in Texas in '96. I've still got a "Don't Mess With Texas" t- shirt from that time.

Yorkshire here. Get a train on the east coast mainline to Leeds (they're hourly) and increase your sample size to include Northern accents this improving the quality of your report from "being south of Watford".

Probably what happened was that scraps were scraped off.

Yeah I also wondered if "nuclear gravity" was some fascinating new branch of physics.

Got real disappointed when I realised that it meant dropping 'em.

58 Gen X Brit here. Even I know the correct response. It was a popular tune.

I stand corrected.

But regarding tabs, according to

The glory belongs to InternetWorks by BookLink Technologies, an old-time browser from the early 1990s that you've probably never heard of.

Edit: Added link

It was the first browser to have tabs. That simple feature was cool AF at the time, especially the "Reopen last closed tab" and "Duplicate Tab" features.

"Duplicate Tab" was awesome, letting you risk going down some sites rabbit holes without losing your starting context in the original tab.

Awesome innovative features, now natural requirements for any browser.

But it was all downhill since there.

Don't forget, Porkshire, Wankashire and the Norfuck broads.

I'm still with Brother. Dropped my last 6 year old Brother (printer not sibling) down the stairs, and replaced it with the updated model. No fuss, no jams, respectable use of toner. Easy WiFi setup (even easier if you know how to allocate it a static IP in router DHCP settings).

Would still recommend, still a Brand Loyal customer.

OK, point taken. He'll have sufficient funds to live a comfortable life (which is disgraceful for a bankrupt individual). But at least there's the satisfaction in knowing he won't get it all.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. I'm from the UK where it's tougher to game the bankruptcy laws and you need to lie before court.

Edit: typos

All perfectly legal (unless sanctions forbid it).

But in that case they wouldn't need any fake IDs.

I 100% agree with this. Sadly, rule #3 applies to me (my job involves dealing with banks and lawyers).

I have had two HP inkjet printers which were unmitigated dogshit. Money-grabbing, thrown together pieces of shit. You get more types of jams than at a craft jam shop.

Five years ago, moved to a Brother laser printer. Little difference in purchase cost. AND IT NEVER FAILS.

I'm now on my second (dropped first one downstairs when moving house) and it is just as reliable.

Each to their own, but for me: Brother Laser Printer every time.

Who pays them?

Wouldn't the ID need to be associated with a verifiable green card? (Again, not an expert in US employment)

Yep, good. Look at the damage he did. He'll have sufficient funds to have food and shelter. Anything beyond that he does not deserve.

How much divisiveness did he cause?
How many screaming arguments?
How many families did he break up?
How many bar room fights?
How much pain for grieving parents?

Fuck him, he's a cunt.

Does no-one check the damn IDs, ffs? It's a simple matter of typing some numbers into a computer.

I don't know about the U.S. but in the UK where I'm from, "illegally hiring a non-UK citizen" would be a criminal offence for the hiring company. How are they going to tax them?

Damn. So no totally dark motorcycle then. Ah well

Came here to write exactly that! .

One exception would be the "MOAB", which officially stands for "Massive Ordnance Air Blast", but is surely unofficially the "Mother Of All Bombs" - a poker at Saddam Hussein's statement that he would unleash the "Mother of All Wars".
