What you do is have a tube with an end that fits the hole you melt, connected via a little pump to your jerrycan. Bob’s your uncle.

At least, if I was doing it, like a prick who did not care about damaging someone’s car, that would be how.

Awwww, no lichen.

Source pls. I have seen many, many studies showing the benefits of flouride here in Australia, especially on the teeth of people in the lowest rungs of society, controlled for diet, disease, etc. If you have countervailing studies, great! Show em!

Mmmm, pancake water.

Wait, wtf is plaque then??!? Is there lichen on my teeth?

Oh shit, I’m getting less trans by the day! I should floss.

When lots of people believe something in spite of the numbers, it’s often fun to sort of buttress the numbers by getting more and more and more of them. That way at least you can easily prove the correct facts to the part of the population that understands numbers.

It’s not necessarily going to win over those in the anti-intellectual cult that dominates the world now, but it is highly satisfying, which helps maintain morale. Instead of explaining percentages to people, you can just stare at them while tapping the big green number on the graph then pretending to need a microscope to see the tiny, teensy, pathetic red line.

I may have lost the plot there somewhere.

I assume that everyone trying to assert anything could be wrong, and if I do not know their process or track record, I work from the position that they are wrong.

I do not assume lies, since mostly they are simply wrong without malice. They may have believed someone else’s lie, though, especially if there is money to be gained.

Isn’t it supposed to be Barenstain?

No no no. They dive, so as to hit the water with the least surface area.

Possibly. The only major policy differences I can see from my distance here in Australia is a general disgust with the corruption and mismanagement under Orban, and a distinct hostility towards Putin. Pursuing both of those will give Magyar plenty to do even if he remains right-wing and a friend of the wealthy.

Yes, but entertaining, so we’ll allow it.

It is amazing what parliamentary control can do if the party in control is willing to use that power. I hope Magyar actually bothers to exploit his victory.

They gotta keep it illegal or it doesn’t excite them enough.

I spend hours every night frustrated by the problem. Perhaps being so associated with Murphy’s Law doomed it from the beginning? But then again, perhaps that doom itself can be harnessed?

Perhaps, indeed, we must use a constant stream of cats and bread, letting enough buttery catastrophes happen to sate the fickle spirit, while still maintaining positive energy production.

Cat maintenance is a well-understood field.

Apart from the problems pointed out by my esteemed colleagues in the comments elsewhere, I am sorry to say that this project, upon which our country has spent so many dollars, is fundamentally flawed. I know that this will be a major disappointment, but we are scientists! We must face the truth!

The entire principle that causes a piece of bread to fall butter side down depends on, as we know, the fundamental law of inconvenience. Butter, touching the floor and getting icky dust and germs on it, is rendered useless, and taints the very bread upon which it is installed. Furthermore, one must clean up the butter from the ground.

Such concentrated inconvenience, combined with Murphy’s law, ensures that the buttery bread will indeed fall down and touch that floor.

Touch, gentlemen! For it to be inconvenient, it must make contact with the floor! But if we, in our ambition and satisfied self-regard, ensure that the bread is securely strapped to the back of one of our many, many brave feline test subjects, then the bread can never touch the floor!

Inconvenience then has no mechanism of action, and Murphy smiles upon us no more! This project’s delays, long thought to be merely an issue of getting the balance right, of baking the perfect slice of bread, of securing sufficient butter, of scaling up using cheetahs, etc… They are all explained by the tragic and incontrovertible truth that we have been wasting our time on a doomed errand that could never work, even in principle! We must shut down, and stop wasting our time on this foolishness!

I personally have already applied, and been accepted, at the Corpse-Spinning Turbine Project, where I can only hope there is no similar fundamental misunderstanding. I suggest you all do the same.

Goddamn right, you’ve blown up 400 schools, you deserve recognition. I’m Australian and we are getting recognised for being massively pissweak, there’s no reason to deny anyone their deserved blame.

That was a bipartisan effort and you know it.

Shoutout to Mulligrubs btw. Bona fide classic nightmare fuel.

You can totally use chicken in tacos. I suspect that’s what has happened here. The Prez has realised he’s gonna lose money as the Gulf states start withdrawing funding, so he’s decided it’s softshell time.
