The wikipedia article cites several attributions over the years, including Richelieu who seems to be the earliest.

Give me the man and I will give you the case against him is a saying that was popularized in the Soviet Union and in Poland in the period of the People’s Republic of Poland, attributed to the Stalinist jurist Andrey Vyshinsky, or the Soviet secret police chief Lavrentiy Beria. It refers to the miscarriage of justice in the form of the abuse of power by the jurists, who could find any defendant guilty of “something”, if they so desired.
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 3 days ago:
Great post.
In addition to your points I would add a frustration of mine is having to fight the same bosses over and over again. Take Hades 2 as an example: you can choose one of two paths at the start of a run but will always have to fight the same boss fights. That sort of repetition in a roguelike is expected, I guess, but I just stopped playing the game because I didn’t want to fight Scylla and Charybdis for the 1000th time just to get to the next boss for the 1000th time.
I suppose Dead Cells spoiled me a bit here: you had route choices and could skip boss fights if they weren’t necessary for you current goals.

Ok, so kläderna is clothes. Interesting. Wonder how much that has to do with clad in English:
transitive verb
- To sheathe or cover (a metal) with a metal.
- To cover with a protective or insulating layer of other material.
- To clothe.
(I looked but didn’t actually find a link between the two)

That sounds fantastic. I checked our usual suspects but none have that on the menu. Not surprised, because if I had seen it I definitely would have ordered it by now.

That and the url for Pen Is Mightier (penismightier.com) are my favorite examples of poor url choice in the early days of the internet.

I hear more about Mitch McConnel, aka the turtle, than Hillary. And that’s taking into account how much my wife loathes Hillary.
Today was the first time I’ve seen anyone mention Hillary’s cankles.

There are such things in this world as particles.
Particles so small that you cannot possibly detect it with your naked eyes.
And I put it to you that there are particles of human shit lingering in the fibers of your underpants. - Comment on I'm there! 5 weeks ago:

Landlocked state. Best I can do is pond, lake, and river fish, definitrly not corals. I would like to try bryozoans in my freshwater tank.

Not as good as rubles to robux, but only because robux are a more stable currency with demonstrable value.
