They were not a founding member and even had their application vetoed by France before joining a decade later, but still well before the creation of the euro.

True, but all new members sign an agreement that they will eventually join the eurozone. It’s not enforced and there is no pressure to do so, but on paper they agree to it.

That’s an EU regulation, not a corporate measure. And it has drastically decreased the amount of littered bottle caps, so a good thing.

I think you have lost all sense of how much a billion is from it being thrown around so much. 5.5 billion is an enormous sum of money. Think of how much 1 million is, then imagine spending that 5500 times. It’s an obscene amount. Sure, some people have more wealth than that, but it’s still an absurdly large amount.

Already found a new home.

I knew it!

I don’t understand this. Are you talking about vespa’s or something like that?

That’s why you have euthanasia laws in some countries. It allows you to say goodbye with dignity while you are still sane. For example, if you get diagnosed with an aggressive and untreatable cancer, it allows you to say farewell to your loved ones before you become a husk of your former self simply waiting to die.

There are not many employers that allow that in my experience.

I guess you weren’t SatansMagottyCumFart?

You pronounce it as “flet” because it’s a combination of f, L, t and E. And if you think that’s ridiculous, wait until you hear about the British Imperial system.

Where are you located? There are pills called Defumoxan which work so well I use them as an off switch. You can get them in Central Europe. I used to smoke for over 20 years and sometimes still give in, even after years of not having smoked. So then I smoke again for a month or 2 and then I order those pills and quit again within a week without any withdrawal symptoms.

My wife thinks I abuse it a bit, because I actually started planning weeks or months where I smoke, like you plan a vacation. She’s probably right, but I always enjoyed it and this way I don’t smoke 95% of the time.

The US used 14 of their largest bunker busters (GBU-57) at the Fordow facility. That’s as close as you can get to nuclear without actual nukes. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/22/how-effective-was-the-us-attack-on-irans-nuclear-sites-a-visual-guide

How dare you, puny mortal, deny the fact any feline is already a god at birth? Felis vult!

Dolphins will get high on poisonous fish and pass those around like a blunt.

I know mine has one, I just don’t know how to use it. Does that count?

We have blackbirds in our garden and I swear that I have seen the females shout at their lazy ass husband several times. They will tweet angrily, fly after them, hop after them, pull feathers from their tails and whatnot. True drama every time.

Hey, I’m also on a 1060 still! Admittedly I hardly game anymore, although I am considering another Skyrim playthrough.
