On around the 12th October last year, there was an interview on the BBC World Service with former Israeli PM Ehud Barak.
He confidently estimated it would take ‘about 4 weeks’ to completely destroy Hamas.

How much d’you want to bet that Putin was waxing lyrical to him about Hannibal (the Carthaginian General and great military tactician), and the ignorant fuckwit assumed he meant Lecter?

Edit: typo.

I can’t find the original study, but according to this NPR article they were all scheduled for surgical abortions.

The abortion pill is a two pill process - the study was to find out if progesterone injections could reverse the effects of taking the first pill only.

It depends - are you Inigo Montoya?

I imagine their conversations go something like this:

“…unfortunately, they can no longer move anything else.”

It’s not my fault! The bigger boys tricked me!

Not sure I’d categorise us as a civilised country at the moment, but in the UK it’s a full week before your employer can ask for a note: https://www.gov.uk/taking-sick-leave

“The devil told you that! the devil told you that!” cried the little man, and in his anger he stamped with his right foot so hard that it went into the ground above his knee; then he seized his left foot with both his hands in such a fury that he split in two, and there was an end of him.

Same here. The issue for me, I think, is that my feelings about music are the same as my feelings about chocolate; it’s fine, but I don’t see why everyone makes such a fuss about it.
My lack of interest in dancing is just an extension of that.

I did country dancing (essentially line dancing, but done in a circle and without the country and western theme) a couple of times at primary school in the 80s. I quite enjoyed that, but as you say, it was about following the instuctions and patterns rather than reacting to the music.

Based on that picture, it looks like Putin’s going to be going Full Monty to fund them.

For people like this, money isn’t a resource that they need to survive, it’s just a way of keeping score.

It’s like playing an idle game - you tweak the various settings and resources to get the most gain, and your reward is watching the numbers go up.

They’re no more connected to the numbers themselves than someone sitting at their computer playing Realm Grinder.
