It’s addictive, not addicting.

I wonder if urabn camouflage is appropriate attire for search and rescue services? Like, what if you (the searcher) get stuck, and no-one can find you 🤔

Although probably need to get someone in to handle the female characters - writing women is not his strong point…

You are not ready for the power of knotted cables. It’s ok my son, all are blind to what they cannot comprehend!

Cables are pretty robust as well. Nothing stopping you just tying them up into self constrained knots.

Hell yes!

Peter Hamilton’s nights dawn trilogy, and his commonwealth saga. Both really good space opera, with varied characters and plot lines.

Yeah but, I’m talking about this particular case, not making a mathematical rule. You have to move away from the coast, and then cannot turn, so you have to head towards Africa. You can’t set off toward Australia. Although I hadn’t considered that you can just move the starting point. So, there’s that.

India. You would have to set off somewhat perpendicular to the Indian coastline to be perfectly straight.

I’ll bet that every single place named Tower Bridge in the USA has had a shooting incident. Probably in the last year.

Is there any actual hard evidence of this? Or is it all anecdotal?

You can’t be proved wrong. Noone can ever prove that someone never existed, but you can prove that someone did exist. If you have such proof for the existance for jesus, please share it.

Yet we’re training undercover spies to ferret out benefits fraudsters.

You ban firearms:

Year one and two: firearms can be turned in to the authorities for a rebate. Possession of a firearm or ammo is a misdemeanor resulting in the confiscation of such, with no further action. Use of a firearm in commission of a crime carriers a harsher penalty. Trading firearms attracts a fine.

Year three to five/six: as above, but possession now arracts a fine, increasing year on year starting as an inconvenience, ending as quite punitive. Trading firearms arracts prison time. Guns and ammo can be handed in anonymously, no rebate/reward.

Year six to ten/fifteen: as above, possession is now a criminal offence, with jail sentences starting at a few months, increasing year on year to serious jail time, commensurate with civilised countries. Trading attracts harsher sentences.

You don’t have to go forcefully into anyone’s home.

You forgot the Special Chair Service.

Cool! That’ll save us about 20k a year after we pay wages and administration costs. Then we can do the same for the tax fraudsters and evaders, right?

Ah, well that’s an aspect I hadn’t considered!
