(I thought I'd follow up, but worse - sorry)

okay, so build more batteries

Octopus are an energy company, are they not allowed to build their own storage? Or do they just grift off the National Grid and are asking the government to do it

The other parties too who are complicit for not pointing this out

"Riders on the storm..."

measuring cell stress (literally how much you can deform a cell) as a factor that can influence its development is a bit of a hot crossover field in Physics and Biology atm

EU one requires an ID/passport, UK one doesn't -- I'd argue that the EU one is safe and the UK one should get more attention on the validitiy

So I was reading up about it a little, and apparently the lady did get some kind of spoken agreement from the priest that she could restore it:

"(The) priest knew it! He did! How could you do something like that without permission? He knew it!"

and the priest then washed his hands of her once she botched it.

That being said, the piece is getting so much attention that the little church is raking in donations, and the woman is now sueing for a piece of the pie:

The story about "Carl Twinly" is a work of fiction. However, the mugshot shown above is real. It was taken in 2008 and shows a woman who was arrested in Middleton, Ohio. According to Fox 19, she had been hired to dress up as a cow to promote a local haunted trail. She was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct after she allegedly got drunk, chased some children, and interrupted traffic.

Fox 19 reported: "A Middletown woman is behind bars, charged with disorderly conduct after she was arrested while wearing a cow suit ... Police say Michelle Allen was getting in the way of traffic and chasing children while wearing her cow suit. She's also accused of urinating on a neighbor's front porch."

Ratatat. I got into them through an Albino Blacksheep video, and they were my secret favourite band for a bit.

Then they got popular, and people that I didn't really jell with started casually raving about them, and I found it difficult to enjoy the music because of those people.

Years later, I grew up. Music is for everyone, and everyone forms their own relationship with it that shouldnt impact the enjoyment of the music itself.

Yes, they were sold on the band through mass advertizing channels. Yes, I discovered them through a more organic means. But that's how fans are born, and yes some of them aren't there for the music, but they are there to have a good time and maybe those songs hold special memories for them later in life when they were hanging around with friends.
