It’s dumber than that. We could do it if we cared about long term profits rather than next-quarter profits.

Huh, as a Canadian, that is new info. Though I wouldn’t call them “chunks” so much as “bits.”

Not a Brice de Nice fan? Elle s’est fait casseeeer.

They’re minesweepers. That’s like an unwarship.

Someone’s a skelephile.

It’s a bit salty, what would you recommend to drink?

I’m not expecting good faith here, but those reports were for Initial military.

At one time both capybaras and puffins were classified as fish by the church to allow their consumption on all days. They were just too convenient to ignore.

A lesson shared in the famous poem First they came for…

Anyone can use this lesson by Singh. If I’m called gay, I could end it by pointing out that’s not true, but I don’t think that would be right.

‘We know India, [and we are] not surprised by Canadian allegations’, says Pakistan.

This is more the shitty gun they bought to scare their neighbor. Also, their kids are skipping another meal.

There’s a French poem I’m desperate to find again about a scientist trying to make an atomic bomb in service of France, but he can’t get a blast over more than 2 meters.

He eventually figures the issue wasn’t the yield, but targeting, so it concludes with our scientist detonating it in a small room among the politicians and generals he worked for.

What the other guy said, but also, last time Mali had this problem flair up just a few years ago France did the intervention.
