A police officer recently got scared by a falling acorn thinking it was a gunshot. He then mag dumped dozens of rounds into his own squad car thinking it was the man he had in custody (handcuffed, searched for weapons already, and trapped inside).

Luckily he struck with police precision. Meaning he missed every single shot and the guy was unharmed physically. Now he quit his job due to public ridicule.

This meme jokes by extending the conspiracy theories around Taylor swift to include dropping the acorn.

If you’re willing to commit outright fraud, lots of crime is easy. But also the penalty for ever being discovered can be severe.

They also didn’t deny it happened. They would check logs before paying out.

To be fair if you’re gonna use a measure like “scores” in 2023 you’re inviting criticism for using it incorrectly.

A score is 20 so 24 hostages is not “scores”.

This is the real answer to the question given the nuance in the question of “if you make a lot”

I haven’t followed the effect of this particular shock on gas prices but generally with any supply shock it’ll depend on the magnitude and duration of the shock. The bigger the damage and longer it takes to repair means less gas delivered in the same time period.

If the shock is big and/or long (giggity), then I’d expect it to affect anywhere in Europe gas can be redirected from.

Energy is a global market.

If gas prices increase sufficiently where the pipeline gas is consumed, some suppliers that supply the UK may consider rerouting gas supply to capture the increased price and profit. This means less supply for the UK which increases prices there also until there’s a balance. Higher prices mean people will use less gas until the supply in each area is enough to meet demand.

Agree with this. Also the US is definitely not monocultural either, despite the desires of our loudest countrymen.
