Desserts are often lazy and some restaurants will use commercial ice cream etc.

The time saved by self-scanning is not worth it considering you risk being sent down with a criminal record to save a couple of minutes extra the staff-scanner would take.

"Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

It was normal, until Jesus spoke out against the practice, to stone an adulteress to death.

This applied to both men and women. They had to be married or promised to marriage.

"If there is a virgin pledged in marriage to a man, and another man encounters her in the city and sleeps with her, you must take both of them out to the gate of that city and stone them to death."

I’ve never offed a drifter or eaten him and buried his bones in the yard, but have rewound a cassette with a pencil. Listened to shellac records on a gramophone. Listened to a pirate radio. Used the larger 5 1/4 “ floppy disks, also Hollerith cards. Used goto. Shed tears in the rain.

But if the line follows a Peano curve.

A splinter of glass could drop off the phone and end up in the next person’s sandwich. In most food preparation areas phones are banned, also watches with glass faces, diamond rings, tiaras etc. As for people saying there were no pieces sticking out it would get very complicated with edge cases of whether the glass shard is going to drop out or not and it is not worth the lawsuit someone who chomped down on a splinter that got stuck in their throat and had to put a biro pen against their neck and run into the wall would charge them with.

The BBC researchers don’t like to leave home for very long so if you aren’t in the Home Counties you won’t get asked.

People had landlines and before that pneumatic mail.

These calls are not free. The people making them have to pay. Money for every call. It all adds up to a nice profit for the telephone companies. They know who is making these fake number calls so they can charge them at the end of the day.

The website formerly known as Twitter enters the conversation.

In other languages Xi is a person’s name. They’d have to mention Qi Xin.

We have King Charles III but there’s already been a King Charles X.

Both ringed too. But seriously, careful now, that swan could break your arm.

Try skipping the ad for the Reddit app! There’s no option to Accept all, it’s the app or nothing.

Many website and streaming services will give you an option of no, or at least fewer, ads if you pay the premium rate. Some even start with no ads if you pay premium and then start to show ads and say you need to move up to super premium for no ads.

Buddhist Meat Ban allowed them to eat fish or birds and they count rabbits as birds because they jump in the air.

Delivery pre-Covid was personal into the hand as proof of delivery. During Covid that wasn’t possible. But now the deliveries have stayed the same and they just put the parcel near the door and take a photo.

No. It is just a running accident and not something that could be predicted. But if you recover the phone and it works you would be expected to call an ambulance. On the other hand if you trip and die they will be responsible for murder. Also if a bystander sees the chase and helps by tripping up the thief then the bystander would be responsible for murder.

It is curly and looks nothing like a Nazi symbol. There is a three legs variant and that doesn’t either. But the variant with plain straight lines with corners could be confused with the 4 cornered swastika, especially this variant https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:27._SS-Freiwilligen-Grenadier-Division_„Langemarck“_%281._flämische%29.svg

Some European judges have found that being sanctioned by the US includes having their access to Microsoft products revoked as their licences are cancelled and their accounts closed.

This is why, for years, even decades, people have been encouraging interoperability and open standards.

Microsoft deliberately makes its products work together but difficult to interface with for other software suppliers. It is part of their Embrace, Enhance, Eliminate philosophy.

Something to do with Z-Cars.

An existentialist worries about whether they exist and what’s the point

but the nihilist believes everything is worse that that and they definitely exist but there is no point.
