I really hope they instituted democratic elections or at least established a clear line of succession because the power vacuum caused by the sudden disappearance of the entire top level of revolutionary leaders is bad news for everyone hoping for a peaceful couple of decades.
I don’t get why people buy these water fountains when the whole point of running water is that it’s freshly produced from a faucet then flushed down a drain. To run it in a circle is the same as leaving it to sit stagnant in a bowl except with extra dust collected from the air. Rig up a constantly dripping faucet and maybe your cat’s kidneys will stop failing after a few years.

Enemy is vulnerable to ice? Bulk ice cube vending machine. Enemy vulnerable to fire? Gasoline pump. Enemy has a blind spot above them? Party balloon vending machine. Enemy vulnerable to being crushed by 20 ton bulk ice cube vending machine that just transformed from floating party balloon bending machine mid-air?
If you can choose the 1000, that’s Death Note Season 2.
Most dogs have servile idiot personalities. This makes me suspicious of anyone who says they are a “dog person”. It’s not a great accomplishment to be loved by a creature literally bred to love their master unconditionally.

“Early in the Reticulum—thousands of years ago—it became almost useless because it was cluttered with faulty, obsolete, or downright misleading information,” Sammann said.
“Crap, you once called it,” I reminded him.
“Yes—a technical term. So crap filtering became important. Businesses were built around it. Some of those businesses came up with a clever plan to make more money: they poisoned the well. They began to put crap on the Reticulum deliberately, forcing people to use their products to filter that crap back out. They created syndevs whose sole purpose was to spew crap into the Reticulum. But it had to be good crap.” “What is good crap?” Arsibalt asked in a politely incredulous tone.
“Well, bad crap would be an unformatted document consisting of random letters. Good crap would be a beautifully typeset, well-written document that contained a hundred correct, verifiable sentences and one that was subtly false. It’s a lot harder to generate good crap. At first they had to hire humans to churn it out. They mostly did it by taking legitimate documents and inserting errors—swapping one name for another, say. But it didn’t really take off until the military got interested.”
“As a tactic for planting misinformation in the enemy’s reticules, you mean,” Osa said. “This I know about. You are referring to the Artificial Inanity programs of the mid–First Millennium A.R.”

Nice proposal, but like Lucy Van Pelt and footballs, Trunp is not known for his integrity.
Like a watermelon but nutty?
At least you probably learned how to tie a square knot.
