What percentage of P&Bers are flat earthers?

I think I'd take Kim Jong Un's anti-aircraft gun approach over any of Murica's current options.

All those billions of American taxpayer dollars launched at Toyota Hiluxes in the desert since 2001 maybe taught them something after all.

I work with nitrogen and carry it around in the van daily. If I were to asphyxiate myself with it (accidentally or otherwise), apparently as you say it'd be painless and pretty much like falling asleep. The other risk is the atmospheric concentration is such this it doesn't kill you, but starves your brain of oxygen and causes permanent damage. The yanks like to make a show of it, and no doubt victims' families etc would see being put to sleep permanently but peacefully as too light a punishment.

US inmate faces first nitrogen execution. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-68089279 Leaving aside the capital punishment debate in general, how hard is it to kill someone 'humanely'? They've already botched an execution by lethal injection and have now come up with a new experimental way to do it. Why can't they just put people to sleep as if they're in for an op, up the dose a bit so they don't wake up? Bonkers country.

I know the ETF buyers don't actually buy the bitcoin, but the fund itself needs to use the customer funds to buy it. Whether they need to buy 100% of the inflow value is another matter. I remember reading the silver market has something like 200 paper claims for each physical ounce. It'd be a bit of a farce if BTC went down this route.

We went to a 'New England Style' seafood shack in Florida a few years ago called The Lahbstah Roll. Also worked with a guy from Boston a while back who I'm sure was very amused by my attempted Peter Griffin accent in his presence.

The Mrs informed me the other day that she's accumulated enough Tesco points for a free Brew Dog pizza & drinks deal, which we booked for this evening. Unbeknownst to us it was "metal night" at Brew Dog in Dundee tonight. Mrs Z: Me:

Lev Yashin performance followed by a £500k deal and 6-year contract incoming.

Just make sure the job is done by 4pm on the dot, or the lazy bassas will be back to finish at 8 the next day.

Nikki Haley is the female John Bolton and will be personally piloting a nuclear bomber over Iran 5 minutes after inauguration. De Santis just seems like a generic beige Republican to me, and not particularly smart or good at campaigning. One of the likely reasons he's come this far is his MOAR FREEDUM approach during Covid.

Years ago my brother hosted a Halloween party at his house and went all in on the decorations. He called Debenhams in Dundee asking if they had any spare mannequins, to which they said aye come and help yourself. So we took a van over and the guy showed us into a room full of them just like that ad. We got a few full ones and various odd limbs & heads. He probably thought we were a right pair of wronguns.

This game is threatening to eclipse the quality on display at Inverness last night.

That pass from Bruno was prime Pirlo.

Excellent tip for those willing to spend months of their lives within 30 centimetres of a brick at all times.

Give him a chance to deny Sir Harold a league title first please.

Yup, it's 2 teams incapable of grinding out a chance if their lives depended on it.

Do we recognise throw-ins as part of the game in training? Every time we get one it's like it's the first time our players have heard of the concept.

Presumably our game plan is to just kind of stand and watch Inverness pass the ball around and hope they accidentally pass it into their own net. It's more likely than us scoring for ourselves at the moment.

I'm not sure if 100% of cash inflows to the BTC ETFs must legally be spent on buying actual bitcoin, or if the fund uses some sort of fractional reserve model. If the latter, it opens it up to abuse as seen in the precious metals markets, essentially creating paper derivatives of the underlying asset. Would make a mockery of the hallowed 21 million supply cap.

It's expensive enough without a 180-mile round trip

A mate of mine worked at Tesco around 2002 and was paid in cash in a brown envelope. I remember it well as it often ended up getting immediately shovelled into the puggy in the pub I worked in.

You'd probably find your warranty would be void if something broke and it hadn't been getting serviced. It should really be done by someone who knows the equipment as you can pick up on problems before they do any damage.
