  Ive always thought the best way to escape would be to tap the brakes suddenly so the police car slams into the back of tbe car its chasing just hard enough to damage its radiator. Would that work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarkets⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So if I want one lettuce which only has a short shelf life, but there is a buy one get one free deal, I’ll probably pick up two. Because I can only eat one lettuce before it goes bad, the second lettuce will be binned before its even started. All buy one get one free deals should be banned - if you want us to buy more of a product, halve the price!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could We Harvest Power From Lightning?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course we could. However, a normal lightening bolt contains around 100 dollar’s worth of electricity. The cost of the equipment to capture and convert that power would be 100’s of thousands of dollars. Combined with the uncertainty of the supply, it’d be a heck of a vanity project.

  You’ve come here to ask for advice, then systematically argued with everyone who has given you good advice. Guys, stop feeding this troll.

  The guiness book of records had an entry for the worst spelling in the old days before the book was dumbed down. Trying to spell ‘usage’ the incorrect attempt was youzitch achieving only one correct letter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you are polite to a potential scammer on the phone or on the internet, you are giving them a chance to persuade you into being scammed. Block at will.

  Its rumoured that in the Falklands war (early 80’s) after a UK ship was hit by a French-made Exocet missile fired by Argentina, UK diplomats massively pressurised their ally, France, to provide the required codes which could be radioed to future in-flight exocets. further french-made armaments would not be able to hit the UK forces.

  Every extra oil well widens the availability of the product, that’s bad. Please stop drilling.
